Zeolites  Clinoptilolite Zeolite Structure This capability of zeolites to attract and entrap impurities is not new. Different forms of zeolites have been used for over 30 years in industrial applications like water filtration, air purification, and mat board for picture framing. It has also been used frequently as a supplement in animal feed to improve overall animal health. Zeolites are relatively unique in nature because they have a negative charge. Because of that negative charge, they attract heavy metals and toxins, all of which are typically positively charged. With that negative charge, they are also able to redistribute lighter metals (sodium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus) and acid-causing hydrogen ions throughout the body, also known as pH buffering. Zeolites are unique among chelating agents because they discriminate between good and bad metals. They're able to discriminate because they don't have the same strength of attraction to all molecules. They bind more strongly to heavy metals and have little or no affinity to lighter "good" metals. Cellular zeolite, as a liquid, is particularly bio-available, so you can be sure it's getting into your system to do its job. |
