Many of our patients are referred for chelation therapy after they undergo a lab test at Hydration IV Lounge. Blood tests will reveal if harmful metals are inside your body. If we discover traces of toxic metals, we will recommend you for chelation therapy. If you’re experiencing symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, depression or anxiety, or other pain that can’t be explained, blood testing will be your first step towards determining if toxic metals may be responsible.

How Chelation Therapy Works
During chelation therapy, the chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is injected into your bloodstream. This amino acid is safe and non-toxic, but it does react with the heavy metals inside your body.
EDTA will latch onto metal particles in your bloodstream and carry them to your bladder. From there, they will exit your body as part of your urine.
The Benefits of Chelation Therapy
Removing toxic metals from your health provides many health benefits. Here are just some reasons to consider chelation therapy in Manhattan.
Toxic heavy metals like mercury and lead are proven to contribute to many different kinds of cancer. Once these metals are removed from your body, your cancer risk will decrease significantly.
Chelation therapy can improve your blood flow, subsequently increasing your energy levels. Chelation therapy may also increase your cardiovascular system to prevent future heart disease as well.
Chelation therapy and EDTA specifically have been clinically proven to be effective in removing toxic metals from your blood. Our trained experts will provide safe, professional care for your therapy.
Take a Load off with Chelation Therapy
It’s all too easy to ingest dangerous heavy metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and more without knowing it. These metals linger in your bloodstream and can cause major health problems such as cancer.
Thankfully, our chelation therapy in Manhattan can seek out and remove these metals from your body. Our treatment uses what is medically known as a “chelating agent” called EDTA. This substance has been used for decades to naturally remove lead and mercury from the human body. Visit Hydration IV Lounge today to free your body from heavy metals.

What to Expect
Scheduling
You won’t need a consultation to schedule an appointment for chelation therapy in Manhattan, so feel free to request an appointment online or give us a call to get started!
We will need to collect your health history and conduct some lab work to ensure that you are a good candidate for treatment. Once your appointment is scheduled, just show up at Hydration IV Lounge, and we’ll get started with your chelation therapy!
Treatment
The chelation therapy treatment process consists of a minimum of 4 treatments spread over the course of several weeks. When you come in for an appointment with us, we’ll start by making sure you’re feeling healthy and well-rested.
Then you’ll sit down, and we’ll insert the chelation IV into your vein. Each treatment takes around 2 hours. We’ll monitor your condition until the EDTA has fully entered your body. After that, you’re free to go!
Aftercare
Once the EDTA has entered your body, it will begin bonding with heavy metal particles in your blood.
The EDTA-bonded metal particles will collect in your bladder and eventually exit your body in your urine. You won’t notice any of this happening because all of the particles are microscopic. Chelation therapy can also improve your cardiovascular health. After treatment, we recommend adding some cardio-focused exercises to your routine.
