Measured metal burden, measured removal.
Chelation IV therapy uses EDTA to bind and safely eliminate heavy metals and environmental toxins from the bloodstream, supporting cardiovascular health, circulation, and whole-body detoxification.
Not currently offered at Dallas or Boulder. Our care team can coordinate a visit at the nearest clinic.
EDTA binds it. Your kidneys clear it.
Chelation IV therapy uses EDTA to bind heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic) circulating in the bloodstream, so they're safely excreted through urine rather than accumulating in tissue. It's a cornerstone of integrative detoxification: restoring circulation, easing oxidative stress, and lowering the environmental toxin burden that builds up from pollution, processed food, and everyday chemical exposure.
- ✓Supports heavy metal detoxification
- ✓Enhances cardiovascular health
- ✓Promotes better circulation
- ✓Reduces oxidative stress and inflammation
- ✓May support chronic conditions tied to toxin accumulation
Designed for specific patterns, not everyone.
Documented heavy metal exposure or elevated provoked urine testing
Occupational or environmental exposure histories
Patients with unexplained neurological or fatigue symptoms after a full workup
Adults seeking cardiovascular support, improved circulation, or reduced oxidative stress
The full scope of care.
Pre-treatment testing: $212.81
An EKG ($30) in clinic, plus bloodwork ($182.81: zinc RBC, magnesium RBC, CMP, CBC, and heavy metals) in clinic or at any Quest location. No seafood for 7 days before your draw.
1-hour lab review: $600
Your provider reviews your results, sets your IV doses, and coordinates your therapy.
Provider appointment package: $1,200
Two hours of provider time, prepaid and required for every chelation patient, so your series always has provider oversight. You meet with your provider (typically 30 minutes) after every 10 IVs.
Chelation IVs: $295 to $595 each
A medically supervised infusion dosed to your labs, usually once a week. Most series run 10 to 50 sessions, depending on your results.
Ongoing monitoring
Repeat bloodwork every 5 IVs (priced by what needs testing) and a urine provocation test every 10 IVs ($110 each).
Full course: about $9,000
About $2,013 covers your testing, lab review, and provider package, and the IVs typically add around $5,950. Patients who complete the full course typically spend around $9,000 in total.
A relaxing, state-of-the-art infusion suite.
Every series is built around a customized protocol of proven chelating agents, hydration, and essential nutrient support, delivered in a calm, comfortable space. The goal isn't just removing what shouldn't be there; it's leaving each session with better circulation, more energy, and a clearer head.
Whole-body health, not an isolated symptom.
Our functional medicine team treats chelation as one lever in a broader plan, layering nutritional support, patient education, and multidisciplinary care around every protocol, so the infusion series fits the rest of your health picture instead of standing apart from it.
We read every value against functional optimal ranges and your own history, then explain what each one means for the plan.
The markers
Provoked urine metals
Establishes the baseline burden and measures removal over the series.
eGFR and creatinine
Renal clearance is the gate for every chelation decision.
Zinc, copper, magnesium
Tracked and replaced through the series.
From consult to clearance.
Three steps, each one building on your labs and your response to the last.
Consultation and labs
A consultation confirms chelation is right for you. Then an EKG, bloodwork, and a 1-hour lab review set your doses and protocol.
Intravenous infusion
Delivered in a comfortable suite over 1 to 3 hours, with the care team monitoring throughout.
Post-treatment care
Hydration and lifestyle guidance to support recovery and carry the benefits past the chair.
Before you book.
How many sessions are needed?
Most series run 10 to 50 infusions, usually once a week, with bloodwork every 5 sessions and a provider check-in every 10. Your provider builds the count around your labs and response.
What does a full course cost?
Before your first IV, you'll spend about $813 on your EKG, bloodwork, and lab review. With the required $1,200 provider package, that's about $2,013 for visits and testing. IVs are $295 to $595 each, typically around $5,950 for a series. Patients who complete the full course typically spend around $9,000.
Is it safe?
When dosed to renal function with mineral repletion and physician supervision, yes. We do not run chelation without testing, and use caution (or avoid it) in patients with significant kidney impairment or low calcium.
How should I prepare for a session?
Come fully hydrated and ready to give a urine sample, wear comfortable clothes, and eat a good meal beforehand.
How long does each session take?
1 to 3 hours, depending on the chelating agent and your health profile. Bring something to read or listen to. The infusion chairs are built for it.
Are there side effects?
Most patients tolerate chelation well. Mild fatigue, nausea, or lightheadedness can occur as metals mobilize for elimination, and your care team monitors every session.
Is it covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan. Documented heavy metal toxicity treatment is sometimes covered; chelation for general wellness or cardiovascular support typically is not. We can provide documentation for your insurer on request.

IV TherapiesIron IV Therapy
Iron IV therapy delivers iron directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system so your body can rebuild healthy iron stores faster and more comfortably than oral supplements allow. It's ideal for patients with a diagnosed iron deficiency who need relief from fatigue without the GI side effects of oral iron.
