What is Dimercaptosuccinic Acid (DMSA) Powder?

Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) powder is a water-soluble organosulfur compound widely recognized for its chelating properties. It belongs to the family of dithiol chelating agents, meaning it contains two sulfhydryl (-SH) groups that can strongly bind to heavy metals in the body. DMSA is primarily used in medicine as an antidote for heavy metal poisoning, especially for lead, mercury, and arsenic, and is considered one of the safest and most effective chelators available.

Key Features and Properties

High Safety Profile – Recognized as safer than many older chelating agents, with fewer side effects.

Oral and Injectable Forms – Suitable for various therapeutic applications.

High Purity Grades Available – Suitable for pharmaceutical and research uses.
