My partner and I will be truly grateful for your insights to the following:
(1) The mechanism behind Bacopa's hyperaccumulation of heavy metals
(2) Identification of the chemical compounds in the plant that may possess high affinity towards heavy metals
(3) Possibility that such compounds may be extracted and used in chelation therapies
Please do refer me to pertinent studies, both completed and ongoing (especially those containing detailed methodologies that aim to (1) extract and isolate natural chelating agents and/or (2) measure the efficacy of chelating agents).
Sincere thanks!
Such insightful response! Thank you Ms. Medhi!
My partner and I just wish to extend a few more inquiries:
(1) How are bacosides metabolized in the body and are they still effective in their metabolite forms ?
(2) Will intravenous injection of bacosides preserve their chelation efficacy?
(3) a.) How can the efficacy of chelation agents be measured? b.) What are the methods for assessing the applicability and efficacy of these agents in animal (cell/) models?
