Zeolite Powder

Zeolite is an amazing crystalline mineral capable of adsorbing and absorbing many different types of gases, moisture, petrochemicals, heavy metals, low-level radioactive elements and a multitude of various solutions. The channels in the zeolite provide large surface areas on which chemical reactions can take place. The cavities and channels within the crystal could occupy up to 51 % of its volume. Zeolites can adsorb or absorb large amounts of material such as ions or gas molecules.

There are three main kinds of zeolite: fibrous, leafy or crystalline. Medical use is from crystalline zeolite that contains high quantities of the mineral clinoptilolite.Its extremely hard, microporous, honeycomb type of structure is permeated by ducts and cavities throughout. These caves or channels are openings where either minerals or heavy metals can bind. The silicon building block is electrically neutral, but the aluminum building block carries a negative charge creating charged sites throughout the entire crystal structure. The balancing process that works to maintain electroneutrality in the clinoptilolite attracts positive minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and iron. These common cations (positively charged ions) can easily be displaced by heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury, nickel, and arsenic and be removed from the body.

Zeolite as an anti-diarrheal

The best-known positive activity of natural zeolite is its action as an antidiarrheal product. Zeolites lower the incidence of death and sickness produced by intestinals diseases in various animals. Based on these results a comprehensive study (Rodriguez-Fuentes 1997) was carried out on antidiarrheal drugs based on natural zeolite as an active material in the therapy of acute diarrheal diseases in humans. The research led to approval of the antidiarrheal drug Enterex for use in humans. The bulk of ingested zeolite remains undissolved in the gut. Because of the ion exchange properties, zeolites can change the ionic content, pH, and buffering capacity of the gastrointestinal secretions and to affect the transport through the intestinal epithelium. Also, zeolites can affect the bacterial flora and the resorption of vitamins and minerals. This creates a healthier digestive tract with beneficial flora and fauna.

Zeolite as a heavy metal adsorbent

Studies have shown that zeolite has a high affinity for trapping lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury and other potentially harmful metals. Through the process of cation exchange, zeolite can lower overall heavy metal exposure in individuals. This would have a dramatic effect in the risk reduction of certain cancers and heart disease. What is very interesting is that zeolite appears to remove toxins in a certain order. It first removes the above-mentioned heavy metals within the first few weeks, then it removes secondary priority toxins, including pesticides, herbicides and plastics.
