What does it do?

Diethylenetriamine is a compound of the amine class used in medicine for the detoxification of heavy metals. It is used to facilitate the excretion of accumulated heavy metals in the body.

Diethylenetriamine binds with heavy metals in the body to form stable compounds. These formed compounds are excreted through the kidneys in urine, reducing the toxicity of heavy metals.
