All people to a greater or lesser extent are exposed to substances such as mercury, lead, aluminum, nickel, cadmium... which are widely located in our environment and which may be responsible for a good number of pathologies of very diverse nature such as hormonal disorders, thyroid problems, neurological disorders, learning problems, depression, allergies, cancer etc.

Under the heavy metal concept are grouped a set of elements not very well defined that is characterized by having metal properties, high density and certain toxicity to the human being. Although this is the commonly accepted denomination, it would be more necessary to refer to these elements as toxic metal or toxic element since not all atoms with high atomic weight present toxicity. Even some cases such as selenium or iron, these molecules are considered oligoelements since at low doses are essential to life and only have high-dose toxicity.

Exposure to this type of element can be digestive, tegumentary or respiratory. It can be produced by ingestion of water or food, through the skin and mucuses or through breathing. For example, it is well known that the high levels of mercury that usually accompany products from the sea or that the air we breathe, due to the contamination produced by fossil combustion or industrial activity, carries smoke or suspended dust rich in several heavy metals scattered in the form of aerosol. Many of the products used for personal hygiene (photoprotectors, deodorants...) contain nanoparticles of heavy metals such as aluminum that can be absorbed through the skin.

Pollution with this type of toxic is a widespread fact as they are widely distributed in the environment around us. It begins during fetal development since heavy metals can cross the placental barrier and even excrete in breast milk and lasts all of life even though certain life habits such as tobacco or alcohol consumption or the work activity performed, especially jobs such as mining, melting, metallurgy... can increase the acumulus of these toxics. There are even documented cases of heavy metal poisoning in children due to the use of toys.

The toxicity of heavy metals is different according to the element, dose (acute or chronic toxicity), solubility and toxocintics. Normally the most affected biomolecules are the enzymes, therefore their pathogeny is multisystem. The most affected tissues are gastrointestinal, kidney, both central and peripheral nervous system and hematological. The main mechanism of action is the oxidative deterioration that occurs at the cellular level due to the accumulation of free radicals from lipoperoxidation reactions, protein oxidation or genetic material. This fact would also explain the carcinogenic capacity of many of these substances.

Both acute and chronic intoxication of heavy metals has two important characteristics:

Bioaccumulation: It is the process of accumulation of chemicals in living organisms so that they reach higher concentrations than concentrations in the environment or food.
Biomagnification: It is the ability to accumulate some substances as it is ascended in the trophic chain.

The main mechanism for the elimination of heavy metals is chelation. The management of substances capable of joining or joining heavy metals results in obtaining less toxic compounds and easier to eliminate.

Nature can be an important source of molecules with this activity such as chlorophyll or cilantro whose activity can be reinforced with the administration of antioxidant substances.
