Urea? I mix my own from Individual salts and don't use any and there is no urea in peters hydro or the others' too. I don't know what you use but all the ones you listed are mineral/synthetic based and not "naturally derived" or "organic". What do you use?
For the research here are some vids from Utah State University (they talk about nutrition somewhere at the end) and about their research lab.
i'll post some links to a few of the other ressources later, there are several papers from North Carolina University etc.
Your stuff uses n-n03. Nitrate.

EDTA
EDTA is a molecule called a chelating agent. A chelating agent is a claw-like substance that can grab and stick to other molecules.
Some types of EDTA stick to calcium. Other types stick to metals, such as lead.
Why do people take EDTA?
EDTA is sometimes prescribed by doctors to clean toxic metals, such as lead, from the blood. Doctors have used the molecule for decades to treat heavy metal poisoning. In those cases it is given through an IV.
EDTA is also an ingredient in some prescription cancer-fighting medicines.
Supplement makers claim that over-the-counter forms of EDTA can be taken by mouth to "detox" the body and make your gastrointestinal tract healthier. There is no scientific evidence to support this.
Preliminary studies show that intravenous EDTA therapy under physician supervision may help patients who have had a heart attack, particularly if they have diabetes. However, more study is needed to prove this.
Some people take EDTA to try to treat:
- Diabetes
- Peripheral vascular disease
- Alzheimer's disease
- Heart disease
However, evidence is lacking that EDTA works for those conditions. Recent studies say it is not helpful and may even be dangerous.
Optimal doses of EDTA supplements have not been set. Supplement ingredients and quality may vary widely. This makes it hard to set a standard dose.
Can you get EDTA naturally from foods?
EDTA is a chemical that is added to certain foods and beverages to help them keep their color and flavor. For instance, it is sometimes added to:
ADVERTISEMENT
- Sodas
- Canned fruits and vegetables
- Non-nutritive sweeteners
- Condiments such as mayonnaise
- Salad dressings
What are the risks of taking EDTA?
The most common side effect of EDTA is burning at the IV site.
Chelating agents can also have serious, even life-threatening side effects. One of the most serious side effects of EDTA is kidney damage and kidney failure.
Other side effects that have been reported in patients taking some forms of EDTA have included:
- Anemia
- Chills, fever, or headache
- Blood clot in a vein
- Lower levels of magnesium and potassium in the blood
- Diarrhea, vomiting, or nausea
- Fatigue
- Abnormal calcium levels in the blood
- Insulin shock
- Irregular heartbeats, which can be severe
- Low blood pressure
- Thirst
- Aching joints
