Zeolite: Nature's Miracle Detox Mineral

Important Note: There are many types of zeolite and many zeolite products on the market that differ greatly. The content presented here is based off of experience with ZeoCharge™ and may not be relevant for all zeolite products.

Zeolite is one of the most fascinating and powerful natural remedies out there! Zeolite is a naturally occurring mineral that contains a very strong “cage-like” structure and negative charge.  There are many types of naturally occurring zeolites. The zeolite that is being discussed in this article is called clinoptilolite, which is the form that has been most studied for human consumption.

How Does Zeolite Work?

Zeolite is a naturally occurring mineral that contains a very strong “cage-like” structure and negative charge. There are many types of naturally occurring zeolites. The zeolite that is being discussed in this article is called clinoptilolite, which is the form that has been studied most thoroughly for human consumption. Due to its strong negative charge, zeolite is attracted to positively charged elements which it collects in it’s cage-like structure.

Considering that many toxic elements- things like mercury, lead, cesium, ammonia, mycotoxins and many environmental toxicants- are positively charged, zeolite is pulled to the toxins, like a magnet, and sucks them into its structure. These dangerous substances become trapped in zeolite’s cage structure, and are then safely and gently carried out of the body.

What Does Zeolite Bind to?

Heavy Metals- Toxic metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic can accumulate in our bodies over time and put an enormous burden on our immune and nervous systems, and make our bodies work overtime to stay healthy. Eventually our bodies lose the ability to keep up with the excess demand and symptoms such as chronic fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and a host of other symptoms and conditions can manifest. Zeolite can trap these metals in its cage-like structure for safe removal. Once the heavy metal burden is lifted your body can start functionally at its peak potential again.

Environmental Toxicants- In the 21st century we face an unprecedented number of toxic stressors in our daily lives. From the air you breathe, to the food you eat, to the water you may be drinking – toxicants are everywhere. Over time these toxic substances accumulate in your body wreaking havoc on your health. Fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, a weakened immune system, and countless health issues are common side effects when these toxins build up. Since most of these toxic elements have a positive charge they will fall victim to zeolite’s strong binding capacity for safe removal from the body.

Mycotoxins- Mold toxicity is increasingly becoming recognized as a serious problem and a player in a number of chronic conditions. Mold toxins (mycotoxins) can result in strong immune responses that lead to a state of chronic inflammation and hypersensitivity. Clinoptilolite zeolite has been shown to bind to mycotoxins including Aflotoxins and Ochratoxin A.

Microbial Toxins- When microbes get out of balance in your body some of them start releasing toxic elements as waste products resulting in a constant supply of inflammation and irritation. These microbes turn into little “toxin factories” that are constantly producing biotoxins that are putting extra stress on your system and often resulting in uncomfortable symptoms. Many of the symptoms that result from conditions associated with microbial imbalance such as Lyme Disease result primarily from the toxins produced by microbes, not the microbes themselves. These toxins make their way to the bloodstream where the immune system mounts an attack and inflammation occurs as a result. Zeolite helps bind many of these toxins before the they have a chance to wreak havoc on the body.

Metabolic Waste- As our bodies are hard at work day and night trying to remain in balance, toxic byproducts are produced which are known as metabolic waste. Ammonia is an example of a metabolic waste product produced by the body. Ammonia is highly toxic and can wreak havoc on your body if not effectively cleared. Ammonia is produced in a number of ways in the body including during protein digestion. Your liver takes the ammonia and converts it to urea which is then filtered through the kidneys and out of your body. Urea is also toxic but not as bad as ammonia. The process in which the body converts ammonia to urea is called the urea cycle. If your body’s ability to complete this process efficiently is impaired, as is often the case with poor liver function, ammonia builds up in the blood and becomes very toxic- causing damage to the central nervous system and can even cross into the brain where it is toxic to brain cells. If kidney function is impaired urea may build up which is also toxic. The good news is that zeolite binds to both ammonia and urea!

Histamine- As the body is hard at work protecting us from a daily invasion of toxic stressors, inflammatory substances such as histamine are produced by the immune system. If there is an excess of histamine produced it could result in a number of symptoms. Many people with overactive immune systems or with conditions such as Mast Cell Activation Syndrome produce a lot of histamine and often experience symptoms such as hives, itchy skin, flushing, and headaches on a regular basis. Zeolite can bind to excess histamine greatly reducing symptoms of histamine intolerance and can even help with seasonal allergies.

Radioactive Particles - Clinoptilolite has been shown to bind to radioactive isotopes such as cesium-137 and strontium-90. Clinoptilolite has been used to successfully remove these radioactive isotopes from waste water. Clinoptilolite was used on a large scale during the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and was successfully used to decontaminate low-level radiation waters. The cesium concentration was reduced by a factor of 1000.

Possible Zeolite Benefits

Antioxidant Support- Zeolite is a unique antioxidant that combats oxidative stress in a number of ways. It directly traps free radicals in its cage rendering them inactive, it reduces free radical formation, and it enhances the body’s total antioxidant capacity which means the body can handle more free radicals before oxidative stress occurs. Oxidative stress results in accelerated cell damage and causes your body a great deal of problems.

Reduces Inflammation- can help regulate inflammatory processes by removing toxic invaders that are stressing out your body and causing excess inflammation.

Energy- By assisting with the removal of toxins, zeolite can help reduce the workload of the body resulting in more energy!

Immune Support- Zeolite can help reduce stress on an overworked immune system by removing toxic elements that never give your body a break.

Weight Loss- Zeolite can help push you past your weight loss plateaus by removing toxins that are stored in fat that your body won’t burn as a protective mechanism to prevent the toxins from being released into your system. Get rid of the toxins and you don’t need the fat anymore!

Reduce Brain Fog- Zeolite can help with mental clarity, alertness, and help remove brain fog by removing toxic junk that is making it hard to think.

Repair Leaky Gut- Zeolite can help improve symptoms associated with leaky gut by removing toxic elements that are breaking down the gut lining and by helping regulate immune function and inflammatory processes.

Nutritional Status- zeolite helps optimize mineral levels be removing heavy metals that are competing for space in your cells with essential minerals. It helps optimize vitamin and nutrient levels by reducing stress on the body which results in using up vitamins and nutrients faster.

Zeolite vs Activated Charcoal and Bentonite Clay

There are a number of great natural binders out there including activated charcoal and bentonite clay. These are fantastic products and can be very helpful in a detox protocol. But binders such as charcoal and bentonite clay don't have the same capabilities as zeolite clay. Charcoal and bentonite are great at mopping up toxins but they don't have the binding capacity of a high-quality zeolite powder. Bentonite clay and charcoal may be used in conjunction with zeolite in a detox protocol but it's my opinion that zeolite should be included and considered the primary agent for an effective detox. Another key to consider when using most binders is that they aren't selective like zeolite so they bind to everything with a positive charge including minerals. Zeolite is a selective binder that only goes after toxic metals so you don't have to worry about it depleting your body of essential minerals.

Is Zeolite Safe?

Yes, absolutely...well at least the high-quality clinoptilolite zeolite we utilize in ZeoCharge™. I can't speak to the safety of other zeolite products on the market. Our zeolite goes through a proprietary cleaning process to remove any toxic elements or contamination and is micronized for human consumption. It is noteworthy that there are many types of zeolite, but we are only talking about clinoptilolite zeolite here, which is the primary type of zeolite that is used in supplements. Zeolite is a natural mineral and has a variety of elements in it. It is important to note that the structure of clinoptilolite zeolite does not get broken down in the body. Because zeolite does not get broken down in the body, it does not leach any elements that make up the compound. Zeolite is not like an essential mineral that is utilized for cellular functions. It simply passes through your body collecting positively charged toxic elements and then is excreted. Warning- This is only true for purified clinoptilolite zeolite. Other forms of zeolite have not been studied for human health and I don't recommend consuming them.

How to Choose a Quality Zeolite Supplement

The two most important aspects to consider when utilizing zeolite for detox are quality and quantity. It's important to choose a quality, effective zeolite product and also to take it at the necessary dose. Utilizing a poor quality zeolite or taking the wrong dose can result in negative outcomes. Poor quality or liquid zeolite supplements lack the dose, combination of large and small particle size and binding capacity needed for an effective detox.

What About Liquid Zeolite?

First of all just to clarify, liquid zeolite is not actually liquefied zeolite, it's powdered zeolite mixed with water. Most of the liquid zeolite products on the market are simply traditional powdered zeolite mixed with water. So we are essentially talking about the same zeolite being used in the liquids and the powders. There is really no advantage to these liquid zeolite products over a high-quality zeolite powder. These companies often make claims such as their zeolite is "hydrated" which means nothing more than that it is mixed with water. If you take a small amount of powdered zeolite and mix it in water you have just made your own "hydrated" liquid zeolite. Many of these products are marketed as nanosized zeolite although they are the same particle size as many of the powders, because they are just powdered zeolite mixed with water. In some cases however, liquid and spray zeolite supplements exclusively contain nanosized zeolite particles which are smaller than what is used in many powdered zeolite supplements. The idea here is that these nanoparticles can cross the blood brain barrier and provide a full-body detox while many of the powdered zeolite supplements only detox the gut. This is great in theory but in reality these liquid zeolite supplements are limited in what they can detox and pose potential safety concerns due to the low dose in the products and lack of research on nano zeolites. In addition, some of these nano-sized zeolite products are lab-grown or synthetic opposed to naturally occurring zeolite.

Common Zeolite Usage Mistakes

The biggest mistake I see people making with zeolite supplementation (when using a quality product) is taking too small of a dose. A small dose will result in detox reactions, redistribution of toxins, and an ineffective detox. If you are experiencing detox reactions when taking zeolite it may be helpful to raise your dose. It seems counter-intuitive but the lower the dose, the more likely you are to experience a detox reaction. In order to effectively detox with zeolite you need a relatively high dose, and the more toxic you are the higher dose you need.

Recommended Detox Dose

The dose needed varies from person to person based on a number of factors. Basically, the more complex the health challenge the higher the dose that is needed. For ZeoCharge™ we have found that a starting dose of 10 grams per day (2 scoops), taken all at once, works great. If a headache or other detox symptoms occurs it is recommended to double the dose. The healthier you are, the less you need.

Maintenance dose for a healthy individual: 5 grams (one scoop) per day, taken all at once.

Dose for someone who is not as healthy as they would like to be: 10-30 grams per day, taken all at once.

Conclusion

High-quality zeolite powder is an effective and safe detox tool for a number of toxic elements including heavy metals, environmental toxins, and mycotoxins. It is important to utilize a quality zeolite powder (not a liquid) at the proper dose for optimal effects.

Are You Ready to Revolutionize your Health?

If you think that zeolite is something you would like to try, I encourage you to order a bottle or two (or 20) of ZeoCharge™ and experience this amazing product for yourself!

The serving size as stated on the container is 5 grams (one scoop) per day but keep in mind that if you would like to start off with the recommended higher dose of 10 grams per day it will require two jars of ZeoCharge™ for a one month supply. Remember - the healthier you are, the less you need. It is always better to start with a higher dose and work your way down. Enjoy the journey...happy detoxing!
