What is Zeolite?
Zeolite is the name given to crystallized volcanic ash which came into being thousands of years ago when volcanoes erupted their magma onto lakes or oceans. A fusion of volcanic lava and alkaline water resulted in the formation of many different kinds of Zeolite crystals.
Today Zeolite is found in basalt cavities in volcanic areas around the world. It is sourced for industrial and medical use in the USA, Turkey, Slovakia, Jordan, Japan, South Korea, China and other countries.
Clinoptilolite - A special type of zeolite
Since Zeolite is a naturally occurring mineral, its composition varies to a certain degree, depending on location and other factors. The Zeolite we use in our NZeolite range (known as Clinoptilolite) is sourced in Turkey and later selected for its specific beneficial composition. It is further processed or 'activated' to enhance its detox ability in the body.
It contains 88-95% Clinoptilolite (Aluminosilicate), 3-5% Feldspar (Tectosilicates; e.g. Labradorite), 2-5% Montmorillonite (Phyllosilicate, e.g. Bentonite clay), up to 2% Cristobalite (Polymorph of Silica) and up to 3% Muscovite (Phyllosilicatemineral).
Our Zeolite powder has no smell and looks ivory white. It stirs well into water but does not dissolve.
Its pH level ranges from 7.0-8.0 which makes it alkaline and similar to the healthy blood pH level of 7.34–7.45. Therefore it is suggested that Zeolite can assist in balancing a healthy acid-base homeostasis in the body.
Why Use Zeolite?
Globally, industry and traffic emit 12 – 13 tonnes of (petro-) chemicals into the air every day. This is an average daily amount of 2kg for every person inhabiting our planet. These toxic particles are usually inhaled in small portions and accumulate in the body over time, particularly within those living in cities or near industrial areas.
More and more people express their concerns about chemtrails in the sky and possibly connected illnesses caused by exposure and inhalation of aerosols containing aluminium and barium. [1]
In addition to air contamination, today our daily food and water is often loaded with noxious substances ranging from chemicals such as pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides to antibiotics and other pharmaceutical residues. Even municipal drinking water usually still contains pharmaceutical residues, traces of hormonal medications (such as oral contraceptives), heavy metals, pesticides etc. Furthermore, municipal water is often chlorinated and in some countries also fluoridated (in New Zealand for example). On top of this chemical mix, many people suffer from mercury and other heavy metals leaching out their tooth fillings – often without knowing that all this can be the cause of their ailments.
The Body's Capability to Cleanse and Detoxify Itself Is Limited
Particularly with a high and frequent exposure to toxins the body’s cleansing mechanisms can be insufficient to maintain good health and optimal body functions.
Additional to toxins and chemicals, many people are exposed to noise pollution, electromagnetic pollution or electric smog, economic pressures and emotional stress.
Environmental Pollution Ultimately Results in Health Pollution
Such unhealthy influences build up over time and can lead to oxidative stress with accumulating free radicals and various dysfunctions in the body.
Furthermore, aggregating toxins can block cell receptors in the body and inhibit mineral intake. [2]
Powerful and Unique Detoxifier
The positive results from using Activated Zeolite (Clinoptilolite) as a detoxifier and dietary supplement have been described in various studies and by thousands of users. Zeolite is a natural substance that is listed on the ‚U.S. Government's list of GRAS‘ (Generally Regarded As Safe), and functions as a powerful and unique detoxifier.
Protection After Exposure To Nuclear Toxins
Being such a potent detoxifier, Zeolite has even been used in Chernobyl and Fukushima for its ability to bind radioactive elements. It was employed to plaster the damaged reactor to shield off nuclear radiation, and in Japan it was strewn into the Pacific to reduce the spread of Caesium, Strontium and other lethal radioelements and it found use treating people after exposure to radiation.
It may be of support to relieve toxic reactions towards x-ray or atmospheric radiation after exposure during a flight.
Antiviral Properties
Zeolite absorbs viral particles and therefore reduces viral proliferation. In a study about ‚Antiviral Properties of Clinoptilolite‘ it has been suggested that local application of Zeolite (Clinoptilolite) can help against herpes virus infections and the internal use against adenovirus or enterovirus. [7]
72 Elements: Goodness From The Oceans
Zeolite contains the minerals and trace elements that sea water is made of, and depending on the area even additional elements adding up to almost the entire periodic table.
Nature’s Rejuvenator
Zeolite also functions as an antioxidant, by reducing free radicals, binding and evacuating them from the body.
This detoxification of the organism results in an improved state of health and prevents premature ageing.
NZeolite is Selected Quality Activated Zeolite
Only Zeolites in their purest form should be used for human consumption, since natural Zeolite can occur nearby unfavourable minerals.
NZeolite is a selected quality product and every care is taken to provide a clean, quality powder that aids your good health.
After mining, milling and crushing, the Zeolite is dried to a remaining moisture content of less than 5%, preventing it from inhabiting mould spores, and further processed to be highly bio-available in the body.
NZeolite, Nature’s Most Potent Mineral Detoxifier
Zeolite or Clinoptilolite in its powdered form and without nano-particles is neither digested nor absorbed into the bloodstream. The Zeolite itself plus the captured toxins are eliminated by bowel movement. Cations such as Silica, Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Iron are exchanged for noxious chemicals (inhaled or ingested), poisonous heavy metals, free radicals (e.g. formed by stress), bacterial or viral particles, myco-toxins (from fungi), radiation (X-ray, cosmic radiation) and nuclear radioelements.
So why not use Zeolite?
No Nano Particles
The particle size of the Zeolite used for our NZeolite range varies between 70-80 micron or micrometer; one micron being one-millionth of a metre or one-thousandth of a millimetre.
That means the particles of our NZeolite are larger than nano particles. Since NZeolite does not contain any nano particles and is non-soluble, it does not enter the bloodstream, but is eliminated together with the trapped toxins through the bowel.
NZeolite’s compounds Silica, Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, for example, are positively charged ions, also called cations. Zeolite‘s detoxifying and molecular-sieving properties derive from its ability to exchange cations for toxins. Minerals and trace elements are attracted into the body in exchange of another cation such as positively charged toxins like lead, mercury, ammonium, nickel or cadmium. These heavy metals are adsorbed (or bound) by the Zeolite. While Silica and other cations contained in the Clinoptilolite’s complex are exchanged, the negatively charged ions of the powder remain stable and are eliminated with the bound toxins.
Craters Everywhere
The size of NZeolite’s powder grains is matched to optimally support bowel cleansing and waste elimination processes. The NZeolite crystals are micronised down to a size in which its crater-like edges fit into the intestinal craters of the bowel's folds which average at 150 micron.
Electrostatic Attraction
The electrostatically attracted toxins are irreversibly trapped in the cage-like cluster of Zeolite and then carried safely out of the body through normal digestion. These toxins, along with the remaining Zeolite, are eliminated from the body within 5 to 7 hours. There is no digestion of the actual Clinoptilolite, only the released cations can be ingested into the mucosa (mucous membrane) of the intestinal tract.
In addition, Zeolites can affect the healthy bacterial flora and the resorption of bacterial products, vitamins and oligoelements/trace elements.
