POWDERED ZEOLITE: These products are not bio-available to the human system. What has made this class of minerals valuable in extracting toxins from soil and waste streams is the fact that it does not mix with water. It is used to separate toxins from water, air, and soil. Even very fine nano particles are not available and only work in the digestive system. Powdered Zeolite does support remove toxins from the digestive track, which is important. They do not provide full body toxin removal.

LIQUID ZEOLITE SUSPENSIONS: Liquid Zeolite products tend to be suspensions of clinoptilolite in water. These are nano or fine particles of clinoptilolite in water. They act like powdered zeolite and do not work throughout the body. Only “Soluble Zeolite Solutions” (Clinoptilolite Fragments) are fully bio-available to the body. Liquid Zeolite Suspension products have very limited systemic activity. There are too many liquid products to discuss anyone in detail, but none get beyond the blood brain barrier and none work through cellular walls. They have limited activity in the body as a whole where toxins are stored.

CITRUS PECTIN (MCP & PECTA-SOL-C): This product has proven effective in removing lead from the system. It is taken is 10 gram daily dosage. The performance on other heavy metal toxins is not as well established. The major issue is Citrus Pectin tends to knock toxins lose in to the blood, but does not bind them as well as hydrolyzed clinoptilolite. Citrus Pectin’s do not work through the blood brain barrier and does not work inside cell walls, as does hydrolyzed clinoptilolite. They do support improvements in cellular health and improve the immune system.

BROKEN CELL WALL CHLORELLA: This is a very important nutrient rich in chlorophyll. The broken wall types can be digested and are bio-available to the body. This helps the body and builds the immune system, but does not help significantly with toxin removal. This is a cellular health product and not a well established toxin remover.

MEDICAL CHELATION SYSTEMS: EDTA, DMSA, DMPS, and BAL are used medically for acute heavy metal toxicity. Each works best on a specific range of toxins. They are effective and have a well know range of side effects. For persons with heavy metal poisoning these are the standard of care.

HYDROLYZED CLINOPTILOLITE: A process developed specifically for natural toxin removal that works systemically to remove toxins and improve cellular health. It is proven to pass through cell membranes and the blood-brain barrier and until recently there was only Hydrolyzed “soluble” Zeolite solution available that provided systemic delivery. Due to the concentrated strength of this product, it is only available through medical professionals, however, many users have reported strong detoxification symptoms and are only able to continue its use under the close observation of their doctors. It’s also important to note that the only manufacturer of this soluble Zeolite solution has issued a product recall due to a potential risk of contamination with the bacteria Burkholderia cepacia.

VITALITY Detox Drops – A proprietary Hydrolyzed “Soluble” Zeolite solution: Vitality Detox Drops is 100% bioavailable and proven to pass through cell membranes and the blood-brain barrier. These soluble zeolite fragments are a patent pending technology for safe, systemic delivery that helps to remove toxins, improve cellular health and support the body’s natural processes. Our proprietary patent pending technology for safe, bioavailable, systemic delivery is the most advanced formula available today! Test results, including heavy metal challenge tests and live blood cell analysis, show greater efficacy and users report experiencing “zero to none” detoxification symptoms as compared to our competitors “Hydrolyzed” formula.

Whole Body Detoxification can be accomplished using a variety of methods; each one is associated with benefits and problems. Detoxification is a core part of natural health.  These are the major methods used for Detoxification.

Chlorella can also absorb toxins from the intestines. Because of its ability to bind to heavy metals and other toxins, it makes it a good partner to cilantro.

Cilantro can help remove heavy metals; however it tends to carry these metals to another part of the body. It should be used with other products that will capture heavy metals and remove them from the body.  

Milk Thistle supports the liver functions and prevents toxins from building up in the liver. It helps support liver health and heavy metal removal. Its action is primarily observed in the liver.

Vitamin C has a long history of use in immune system support. Vitamin C helps boost the body’s production of glutathione. It also helps remove free radicals from the body.

Vitamin E works best in removing lead. It works well with Vitamin C. It helps reduce the stress caused by toxins in the body. Some concerns exist regarding high dosages of Vitamin E.

Magnesium supports detoxification and the production of energy process (as ATP), which provides cells with the energy they require for pumping out toxins before, during, and after they accumulate.

Modified Citrus Pectin is found in apples and fruits. It binds heavy metals and some free radicals. It has limited use in detoxification.

Glutathione is the body’s natural detoxification agent. Glutathione helps to remove heavy metals such as cadmium, iron and mercury. It is very difficult to supplement with Glutathione because the human body does not absorb it easily.  

NAC is an amino acid, which can bind heavy metals and stimulates the body’s natural removal systems.  NAC is used to treat acetaminophen over dose. It is used with DMPS to support heavy metal removal.

EDTA is effective in removing heavy metals from the blood; it is the standard, FDA-approved treatment for lead, mercury, aluminum and cadmium poisoning. EDTA may deplete important vitamins and minerals, so daily multivitamin supplementation is required

DMPS is a drug developed in Europe and is widely used to lower heavy metal toxin levels. It is administrated orally by physician. Side effects are common and its use must be monitored.  DMPS is no longer available for purchase in the United States due to removal by the FDA.   

DMSA is used for lead poisoning in children. It is used by some physicians prior to having mercury amalgams removed. This requires physician monitoring due to potential side effects. Unable to permeate cell membranes.  Mobilizes metals in  the body.

Clinoptilolite Zeolite is a naturally occurring volcanic mineral formed from the combination of volcanic ash mixing with sea water and blue green algae. Clinoptilolite is the variety of zeolite most associated with detoxification. It is sold as a powder or suspension.  These forms of the zeolite are not bioavailable and provide excellent support to the GI system. It is widely used in environmental toxin and chemical removal. Published and proven to bind a wide range of toxins and chemicals.

Humic & Fulvic Acid are naturally occurring acids used with other detoxification systems. Humic acid is known for immune support. Fulvic acid is known for detoxification and energy support. Neither has undergone extensive safety or performance studies. Both have minimal effects on systemic detoxification.

Soluble Clinoptilolite Fragments provide a different concept in detoxification via oral chelation. These patented pending forms of hydrolysis create water-soluble zeolite crystalline fragments that are 100% bioavailable and work at subcellular and mitochondrial levels. Preclinical studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of soluble zeolite fragments, establishing a foundation for natural health improvement by passively and systemically removing heavy metals, bio-toxins and other environmental toxins.
