Zeolite (Clinoptilolite)

Not a plant. Clinoptilolite is a naturally occurring zeolite of the heulandite group, classified among the tectosilicate minerals.

Zeolite deposits have been quarried since antiquity for construction and water clarification. Its use in nutrition is comparatively modern.

The material is extensively described in materials science for its cation-exchange capacity and molecular sieving behaviour. Nutritional research is more recent and smaller in volume.

Physical properties exhaustively characterised in materials science. Nutritional literature limited and largely preclinical.

The negatively charged crystalline lattice exchanges cations, a physical rather than pharmacological property.

• Cation exchangeA physical property of certain crystalline minerals with a negatively charged lattice.

• Aluminosilicate lattice
• Exchangeable calcium, potassium and sodium cations

Use only material of documented purity, tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Contraindications

Insufficient data for those with kidney conditions.

Drug interactions

May bind concurrently taken oral medication; separate doses by several hours.

Pregnancy

Avoid.

Breastfeeding

Avoid.

• Medication interaction. If you take prescription medication, speak with your healthcare provider before use.
• Adults only. Formulated for adults. Keep out of reach of children.

• What independent testing actually meansA certificate of analysis is only as good as the laboratory, the method and the lot number printed on it.
