Definitive, empirical research has not yet been undertaken to
determine the exact mode of action of HMD™. However, it is based on
research of similar products such as Chlorella Growth Factor,
which is a neuropeptide.
It is possible that the peptides in HMD™ bind to several
receptor sites on the metal molecule creating a strong
irreversible bond, with little chance of competition from other
competitor molecules - this means less reabsorption of the metal
by the body.
Peptides really stick to metals with an order of magnitude far
greater than their synthetic chelating counterparts. This means
that the metals are more likely to be eliminated by the body as
opposed to being reabsorbed.
The research that has been conducted on HMD™ to date has clearly
shown that it has a natural affinity for eliminating metals
through the urinary tract, as opposed to the biliary tract. This
again will lessen the likelihood of metals being reabsorbed in the
gut.
It is freely absorbed by the oral mucosa and it is postulated
that it will also cross the blood-brain barrier, but more work
need to be conducted on this.
