How does clinoptilolite zeolite work in the body?

​

Clinoptilolite has a surface with a negative charge, which, like a magnet, attracts all those particles of positive charge (opposite charge). This allows it to trap, through a chemical process called absorption, a large number of molecules and atoms in its pores and surface. Its porosity provides a greater surface area and a protected absorption region against local environmental changes such as pH. Molecules such as ammonium ion and, to a lesser extent, lactic acid (both produced in excess by cancer cells, as shown in this and this paper), can be hypothetically trapped and removed by zeolites. Heavy metals such as copper, lead and zinc also adhere to clinoptilolite and can be removed. The presence of heavy metals is a common problem in cities globally whose water sources come from mountainous places. For example, in February 2016, the Medical Association of Chile indicated that drinking water in Santiago, the country's capital, which supplies 80% of its population, contains high rates of iron, manganese, cadmium, lead and molybdenum. All these metals have a positive charge and can be removed with zeolite clinoptilolite.

Our experience

​

Our company is located in Chile was born as a supplier of zeolite for water filtration and animal feed applications. Over the last years, we started to produce high quality natural clinoptilolite for human consumption due to a large amount of inquires. We use a natural clinoptilolite that we believe has the highest purity worldwide. Our company has a laboratory-analyzed zeolite batch that meets WHO food-standards. In addition, we apply a sterilization process with UV radiation before encapsulation to ensure elimination of naturally-ocurring microorganisms.
