What does zeolite do for the body?

Zeolites are minerals that contain mainly aluminum and silicon compounds. They are used as drying agents, in detergents, and in water and air purifiers. Zeolites are also marketed as dietary supplements to treat cancer, diarrhea, autism, herpes, and hangover, and to balance pH and remove heavy metals in the body.

Does zeolite help leaky gut?

In 2015, an Austrian placebo-controlled double-blind study confirmed that zeolite provides valuable help with a leaky gut: 52 athletes aged 25 to 50 years had increased zonulin concentrations (laboratory marker for leaky gut) in the stool.

Can zeolite make you sick?

In this study, endurance-trained subjects were recruited and supplemented with a clinoptilolite/dolomite/maca-based product (Panaceo Sport®). Athletes, indeed, often report intestinal symptoms including nausea, stomach and intestinal cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Does zeolite reduce inflammation?

Even though there are several synthetic or natural occurring species of zeolites, the most widespread and studied is the naturally occurring zeolite clinoptilolite (ZC). ZC is an excellent detoxifying, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.

Does zeolite cause blood clots?

Conclusion: Zeolite releases Ca2+ into blood, thus accelerating the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation and shortening the clot formation time.

Can zeolite cause blood clots?

Zeolite is thought to rapidly absorb water in a non-chemical reaction at the site of bleeding, which is thought to effectively concentrate platelets and clotting factors, promoting coagulation4,5.

Does zeolite remove magnesium?

“[They] may bind metals and prevent their absorption, but zeolites have no ability to remove heavy metals (or iron) from the human body. Overuse of zeolites will likely prevent absorption of essential nutrients such as magnesium, calcium, and zinc, but will not bring about the removal of toxic metals.”
