Edta

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), also known by several other names, is a chemical used for both industrial and medical purposes.

In shampoos, cleaners, and other personal care products, EDTA salts are used as a sequestering agent to improve their stability in air.

EDTA is a prescription medicine, given by injection into the vein (intravenously) or into the muscle (intramuscularly).
