The present disclosure relates to a composition to aid in heavy metal detox. Metallothioneins (MT) are a family of cysteine-rich enzymes in the body that help remove and regulate heavy metals, copper, and other metals. Amino Acids in combination with zinc and/or molybdenum may provide improved production of MT over amino acid or zinc supplements alone. Additionally, Vitamin B6, Molybdenum, and Boron may be included to further enhance the efficacy of the composition.
