Dunno if it's true or not, but they claim it won't.

claims "It can remove iron from iron oxide, but is too weak to remove iron from
steel because the iron is held much more strongly."

As I understand it, chelation therapy is reasonably well proven to (slowly)
remove heavy metals from the body. It's been used for many years to treat
people with chronic heavy metal poisoning. What's doubtful is whether removing
"normal accumulation" is any benefit or not. I suspect it's rather like that
dihydrogen monoxide stuff, too much is definitely bad, but a little bit isn't so
bad. Especially when mixed with some 1-hydroxyethane and a few complex organic
molecules.
