Disotate

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is an aminopolycarboxylic acid with the formula [CH2N(CH2CO2H)2]2. This white, water-soluble solid is widely used to bind to iron and calcium ions. It binds these ions as a hexadentate ("six-toothed") chelating agent. EDTA is produced as several salts, notably disodium EDTA, sodium calcium edetate, and tetrasodium EDTA.[4] Contents 1 Uses 1.1 Medicine 1.2 Alternative medicine 1.3 Cosmetics 1.4 Laboratory applications 2 Side effects 3...
