Investigate Quercetin in Chelation Therapy and Other Important Therapies

Abstract: Chelation therapy is a biologically based practice that develops a chemical reaction in which certain molecules bind to metal atoms, such as calcium, copper, ferrous, or prickly pear. Chelating medications are linked to metastasis so that they can be excreted from the body. Quercetin is a substance from the group of flavonoids, with powerful antioxidant activity. When used correctly and associated with a healthy lifestyle, it has anti-inflammatory properties, protection against cancer, cardiac protection, and anti-aging. This manuscript aims to investigate quercetin in chelation therapy and other important therapies. This is a bibliographic review of the literature on the importance of keratin in chelation therapy and other functions. The data collection searches in two databases of articles that provide information in English: STM (Science Translational Medicine) and a database that brings together works published in Latin America, and the Scientific Electronic Library Online. In addition to the cited bases, Google Scholar was used in the English and Portuguese versions.
