The invention relates to a stabilizing agent capable of realizing degradation, 
detoxication and harmless treatment of 
heavy metals in food, foodstuffs and traditional Chinese medicines and a preparation method thereof. The stabilizing agent is prepared by mixing raw materials consisting of 
phosphoric acid or 
phosphate, a swelling agent, an acidity conditioning agent and 
chloride. The stabilizing agent provided by the invention is applied to stewing, cooking or flavoring of food, foodstuffs and traditional Chinese medicines; i.e., before food, foodstuffs and traditional Chinese medicines enter the 
stomach and intestine of a 
human body, the stabilizing agent can degrade leaching 
toxicity of 
heavy metals in the food, foodstuffs and traditional Chinese medicines, i.e., reduction of the leaching and 
dissolution quantities of the 
heavy metals; even in an environment with acidity strength greater than the acidity strength of 
gastric acid in the 
human body or in an extremely abnormal environment such as 
acid rain, the stabilizing agent allows heavy metals to form products hard to decompose and having inactive chemical properties in a 1N 
hydrochloric acid solution, so the heavy metals are hard to absorb by the 
human body and crops, thereby realizing harmlessness treatment; moreover, migration, 
diffusion and conversion of the heavy metals in environment are reduced, so returning of heavy metals to food chains is prevented and reduced, and the 
toxicity of heavy metals is lowered; and thus, the stabilizing agent has good application prospects.
