FAQs: Calcium Disodium EDTA

What is Calcium Disodium EDTA?

Calcium disodium EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is a synthetic compound used in a variety of applications, including as a dietary supplement ingredient. It is known for its ability to form complexes with certain metal ions. 

Why Does Arizona Natural Offer the Calcium Disodium Form of EDTA?

Calcium disodium EDTA is one of several forms of EDTA. It is pre-bound to calcium, which 
influences how it interacts with other minerals. We offer it as a straightforward, single-ingredient formula with transparent labeling and consistent potency. 

How should I take Arizona Natural EDTA?

For best results, take on an empty stomach, at least 90 minutes before or after meals and away from other supplements or medications. This timing helps support proper absorption of the ingredient.

Can I take all my daily EDTA capsules at once?

Yes. Many people find it convenient to take the full daily amount at one time (for example, first thing in the morning or before bed) while still keeping it separated from meals and other supplements.

How many EDTA capsules should I take each day?

We recommend taking 1-3 capsules daily, providing 600-1800mg of calcium disodium EDTA, or as directed by your healthcare professional.

Does calcium disodium EDTA affect calcium levels in the body?

Because this form is already bound to calcium, it does not aggressively bind additional calcium from the body in the same way some other forms can. 

Should I cycle my use of EDTA?

Some people prefer to use the product in cycles (for example, several weeks on followed by a short break). This is a common practice when using mineral-binding ingredients. 

Do I need to take a multi-mineral supplement?

It is a good idea to support overall mineral intake through diet or a daily multi-mineral supplement taken at a different time of day from the EDTA. 

What are the capsules made of?

Arizona Natural EDTA capsules are made of bovine gelatin.

Are your EDTA capsules kosher?

Yes, our EDTA capsules are kosher.

Are your EDTA capsules halal?

Yes, our EDTA capsules are halal.

Is Arizona Natural EDTA made in the USA and third-party tested?

Yes. Our EDTA is manufactured in the USA in cGMP facilities and undergoes third-party testing in certified U.S. laboratories for purity and quality.
