Carnosine chelates ORGANIC mercury and dental amalagens are linked to organic mercury. Carnosine could be possibly for chelating copper and zinc but it is linked to ALA. It also chelates other important heavy metals like LEAD which some find hard to get rid of of. I guess the beauty of carnosine is that it recovers the body during the chelatin process by cleaning the blood, kidney and liver. I read some stories about chelatin problems because some people chelate with clogged organs (especially the blood and liver) In my defense, I use carnosine with Lugols which is my "mercury" chelator. I read in another mercury forum that if you chelate with especially vitaminB6/Molybednum
makes up DMSA.
