Volcanic mineral with a cage structure.
Zeolite (Clinoptilolite)
Available soonZeolite (clinoptilolite), a finely ground volcanic mineral with a lattice structure that can bind substances in the intestine.
At a glance
- What it is: a natural aluminum silicate mineral of volcanic origin
- Special feature: Crystal lattice with tiny channels that exchange ions and bind molecules.
- Legal framework: Marketed in the EU as a medical device, not as a foodstuff; health claims are not permitted.
- Tradition: Long established in agriculture and water treatment, its use for humans has been discussed since the 1990s.
Why your body is aware of this issue: Zeolite functions like a mineral sponge with fixed pore sizes: whatever fits inside gets trapped. Manufacturers state that it is intended for binding ammonium and certain heavy metal ions in the intestines. This very property has been used in agriculture and water treatment for decades.
Here's how to use it
If you'd like to try it: one teaspoon in a large glass of water, away from meals and medication, as a course of treatment over two to four weeks. Make sure you're getting tested quality: a certificate of analysis for heavy metals and purity, ground, not nano-fine.
Good to know
- Zeolite binds non-specifically, so it also binds medications and nutrients: at least two hours' interval before anything else.
- Not suitable for use in cases of kidney disease, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, or in children.
- The liver and kidneys are responsible for detoxification in the true sense, as explained in our article on detoxification. Zeolite is not a substitute for medical treatment.
As always, a medical device is not a substitute for medical advice. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a child, pre-existing medical conditions, or are taking regular medication, it is advisable to consult your doctor beforehand.
