Abstract: The present invention relates to a new chemical compound known as hexa-citrated phytate and a method of production thereof. The new chemical compound has six citrate molecules attached at the hydroxyl group of a citric acid to phosphates of a phytate molecule. This new chemical compound is a very effective oral chelator maintaining metals and metalloids in the saline solution of blood. The new chemical compound is also very effective in dissolving artery plaque, as well as copper, zinc and iron.
