Zeolite MED, a natural medical product from the natural mineral Zeolite, can bind to harmful substances in the gastrointestinal tract like a sponge and draw them out of the body by natural means. Burdened with harmful substances, Zeolite MED, which is indigestible, is naturally excreted with stool via the intestines without burdening the metabolism.</p> <h1 id="link_1">Binding pollutants with zeolite</h1> <p>Natural zeolite acts like a sponge and can help relieve the gastrointestinal tract and detox organs such as the liver.</p> <h2 id="link_1_1">Zeolite: natural stone with high a binding power</h2> <p>Healing clay has been used as a natural remedy for a variety of health problems since the Middle Ages. Depending on the application and variant, healing clay is composed of powdered rock with various components, such as loess, peat, loam, clay, moor and others.</p> <h2 id="link_1_2">Also a kind of healing clay: Zeolite</h2> <p>Natural zeolite can also be used to support your health. Zeolite is a natural rock of volcanic origin. The surface of the silicon-rich mineral is particularly capable of binding pollutants. The process that takes place is called adsorption.</p> <h2 id="link_1_3">What is adsorption and what does zeolite have to do with it?</h2> <p>Adsorption is a physical process in which substances get stuck to the surface of another substance and accumulate on it.<br>Due to its microporously structured surface and its ability to exchange ions, zeolite offers great potential for the adhesion of other substances. This allows it to act like a sponge and to bind pollutants.</p> <p><strong>In use for a long time</strong></p> <p>Already in ancient times, natural zeolite was used for detoxification in the form of clinoptilolite. After the Chernobyl reactor disaster, the building was encased in a cement belt containing tonnes of zeolite. The pulverized mineral was also used to decontaminate people and the environment.</p> <h2 id="link_1_4">How does zeolite adsorption work for humans?</h2> <p>If zeolite is used for medical purposes, it is used as clinoptilolite - a natural, microporous tuff rock. The natural zeolite has a crystal lattice structure with many cavities. The latter contain cations such as calcium, sodium, magnesium and potassium.<br>Due to its structure, zeolite can adsorb substances on the one hand and cause ion exchange on the other: Adsorption causes foreign matter to adhere to the surface of the rock. A similar process can also take place during ion exchange: Here the cations of the mineral can be released and exchanged by pollutant ions in the body.<br>Like a sponge, the mineral is able to bind harmful substances in the digestive tract and lead them naturally out of the organism. Due to this special composition, zeolite can act as a natural bioregulator in the body and can be used to prevent and alleviate health problems caused by harmful substances. Zeolite itself is indigestible and is excreted through the intestines.</p> <h2 id="link_1_5">The effect of Zeolite</h2> <p>Zeolite works through the binding (adsorption) of:</p> <ul> <li>Heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium)</li> <li>Aluminium</li> <li>Ammonium</li> <li>Histamine</li> </ul> <p>Zeolite MED can be used for liver relief through detoxification of the intestinal tract.</p> <p>The effect of Zeolite is based on its particular property of binding, through selective ion exchange and adsorption, to harmful substances like aluminium (Al3+), lead (Pb2+), mercury (Hg2+), cadmium (Cd2+), ammonium (NH4+) and histamine (C5H9N3). Schema for selective ion exchange:</p> <figure> <figcaption>Natural Zeolite structure:</figcaption> <img title="natural Zeolite structure" src="/pub/media/download/en/img/natuerliche-zeolithstruktur.jpg" alt="natural Zeolite structure"></figure> <p>The natural mineral Zeolite has been used since antiquity thanks to its special effect on the human body for natural detoxification and is known for its effective pollutant-binding property (adsorption). We provide pure Zeolite as a tested, certified medical product in pharmacy quality for internal and external use.</p> <h2 id="link_1_6">Zeolite as a prophylactic</h2> <p>In preventive care, one considers every measure that can inhibit or slow down an impairment to one's health (illness, injury) or reduce the likelihood of one occuring. Prevention is the best medicine. Zeolite MED proves its effect before certain pollutants arrive in your bloodstream, since Zeolite can bind to certain unwanted pollutants already in the digestive system even before they are absorbed by the body and thereby help to prevent illnesses that are linked to increased exposure to pollutants.</p> <h2 id="link_1_7">Zeolite effect – alleviation of symptoms</h2> <p>The ability of Zeolite MED to bind to and draw out pollutants allows for it to be used therapeutically or to accompany therapy as needed, particularly with increased histamine exposure and histamine intolerance such as allergies, gastrointestinal tract illnesses, liver malfunction or increased strain on the liver through ammonium compounds. The enrichment of toxic metals like mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminium and other substances like ammonium and histamine can be the cause of a variety of chronic illnesses.</p> <h2 id="link_1_8">Zeolite as an antioxidant</h2> <p>Zeolite possesses strong pollutant-binding and absorbing properties. It is also able to neutralize free (oxygen based) radicals in the intestines and thereby also possesses an antioxidative effect. Oxidative stress can negatively affect the body.</p> <h2 id="link_1_9">Which illnesses can Zeolite help?</h2> <h3 id="link_1_9_1">Gastrointestinal illnesses</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Stomach flu</strong><br> Zeolite can be used to accompany therapy. Zeolite calms the bowels and unburdens the body through the absorption of certain pollutants and heavy metals.</li> <li><strong>Irritable bowel syndrome</strong><br> A range of commonly occuring gastrointestinal tract illnesses fall under the term “irritable bowel syndrome”. Zeolite can contribute to the reduction of symptoms because it is used as a medical product for regulating the intestines. The exposure of the gastrointestinal tract to pollutants, harmful substances, industrial chemicals and radioactive particles that we absorb with food can be effectively diminished with Zeolite. Furthermore, Zeolite works for allergies which may also play a role in irritable bowel syndrome.</li> <li><strong>Diarrhea and Constipation</strong><br> Zeolite calms the bowels and is therefore utilized for the alleviation of various gastrointestinal illnesses such as diarrhea or constipation.</li> </ul> <h3 id="link_1_9_2">Heavy metal exposure</h3> <p>Often, we absorb heavy metals without even realizing it. Old lead pipes, unsafe drinking water while on holiday or high concentrations of mercury in seafood can burden our bodies and lead to a range of illnesses. Zeolite works as a detoxifier and can help protect the body against heavy metals, pesticides and other harmful substances.</p> <h2 id="link_1_10">Why do we need help in coping with pollutants?</h2> <p>The healthy human body is normally able to metabolize toxins in food as well as toxins from the environment to a certain degree. However, certain pre-existing conditions - such as liver damage, allergies or gastro-intestinal diseases - can cause the body to lose its inner balance and no longer be able to cope easily with the breakdown of pollutants. Excessive intake of toxins or exposure to particularly toxic substances, such as heavy metals, also pushes the body to its limits: This leads to diseases and the storage of harmful substances in the organism.<br>When pre-existing diseases are present, it is important to keep the organism as low as possible in pollutants. This can be achieved, for example, with a strictly controlled diet. But even with this, it is not really possible to keep potentially harmful substances, such as lead or cadmium, completely out of the body.</p> <h2 id="link_1_11">Relieving the liver - keep toxins away</h2> <p>Taking zeolite can have a positive effect on the gastrointestinal tract and also relieve the liver as it is relieved of harmful substances.<br>Among the substances that natural zeolite can selectively bind are heavy metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium as well as other potentially harmful substances such as aluminium, ammonium and histamine.<strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <h1 id="link_2">Dangers from heavy metals in everyday life</h1> <p>It is usually assumed that the risk of contracting heavy metal poisoning in Germany is relatively low in everyday life. Strict legal requirements convey the feeling that it is rather unlikely to come into contact with a dangerous dose of harmful substances.<br>The reality, however, is different. In fact, virtually everyone is exposed to some form of toxic substance on a daily basis. Often heavy metals are even ingested directly through food.</p> <h2 id="link_2_1">Where can lead be found?</h2> <p>What about lead, for example? In earlier times there was a lot of lead poisoning, as the heavy metal was present in everyday life in many places. In the meantime, however, the times when crockery and cutlery containing lead were used are over. In addition, lead-free petrol has established itself as the standard for several decades. Leaded stains are also avoided as far as possible.<br>Nevertheless, lead can become a health hazard, for example if lead pipes have been used in a house and have not been replaced. It is also possible that old cups and spoons containing lead are still circulating (and even being used) in some households. In addition, it can also happen in individual cases that you come into contact with lead in your job, for example if you work with anti-rust paint. And last but not least, beauty care can also make people ill, for example when harmful lead has been used in ointments and creams to create a particularly light complexion.</p> <h2 id="link_2_2">What are the symptoms and dangers of lead poisoning?</h2> <p>Lead poisoning occurs when lead is absorbed into the organism via the gastrointestinal tract, the skin or the respiratory tract.<br>Depending on the type, duration and intensity of lead exposure, people with lead poisoning have acute or chronic lead poisoning. This particular type of poisoning is also known as saturnism.</p> <p><strong>Symptoms</strong></p> <p>Acute lead poisoning manifests itself in symptoms such as headaches, aching limbs, fatigue and gastrointestinal complaints.<br>If the course of the disease is chronic, lead anaemia, i.e. anaemia caused by lead, and a lead tinge on the gums can occur. Other symptoms of chronic lead poisoning include nerve damage (polyneuropathy), disorders of brain functions (encephalopathy), convulsive abdominal pain (lead colic), kidney damage and paralysis of the hand (falling hand).<br>These sometimes widespread symptoms result from the fact that lead can damage various organ systems of the body. Depending on the amount absorbed, the heavy metal has an effect on the central and peripheral nervous system, the bone marrow (and thus on blood formation), the kidneys, the digestive tract, the gonads and the skin. The latter can also lead to chronic lead poisoning, in particular, being accompanied by the pale, greyish-yellow "lead colouring" of the skin.<strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>Dangers</strong></p> <p>The severity of lead poisoning depends on the level of lead concentration in the blood. People who are acutely severely poisoned can fall into a coma and die of circulatory failure.<br>After lead has been absorbed, it first ends up in the blood, is later distributed in the soft tissues and is then partially excreted again. The other part is stored in bones and teeth in the form of lead phosphate. It remains there with a half-life of up to 20 years. In times in which the body degrades bone substance, it can also lead to increased blood-lead-values without external influences. Animal experiments indicate that lead could also have a carcinogenic effect.<br>Furthermore, lead is placental-prone. This means that it can pass from the mother to the embryo and damage it.</p> <h2 id="link_2_3">What are the symptoms and dangers of mercury poisoning?</h2> <p>Mercury poisoning is also called mercurialism. The population is usually afraid of coming into contact with mercury vapours through broken fever thermometers or energy-saving lamps. Generally, however, the amount of mercury released in such cases is too small to cause severe poisoning. Nevertheless, old thermometers and energy-saving lamps with mercury must always be treated with vigilance and, in the event of breakage, immediately sealed airtight and the room in which the incident occurs well ventilated as quickly as possible.<br>A higher risk of mercury poisoning exists for people who work directly with the heavy metal. This can be the case, for example, in laboratories and in the manufacture of thermometers. Mercury has a high vapour pressure - this allows the heavy metal to balance with the atmosphere of a room without sufficient air exchange.<br>Mercury can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin. It is also possible for the heavy metal to enter the body during ingestion, for example through the consumption of contaminated fish.</p> <p><strong>Symptoms</strong></p> <p>The acute form of mercury intoxication begins with symptoms such as headaches, dry mouth, dizziness and nausea and is subsequently characterized by severe vomiting. Untreated, the disease destroys the kidneys and liver.<br>Sub-acute mercury poisoning leads to symptoms such as increased salivation and inflammation as well as ulcers of the mucous membranes (stomatitis mercurialis). The latter affects in particular the gums, on which a dark seam forms due to the stored mercury sulphide. It is also possible that damage to the intestines and kidneys may occur.<br>The chronic form of the disease can also be accompanied by stomatitis mercurialis. Especially if the heavy metal has been absorbed in the form of steam, neurological symptoms are the main symptoms. After the mercury vapour enters the body via the lungs, it is transferred to the brain via the blood and the blood-brain barrier. There the oxidation to the mercury ion takes place. The ion then binds to the brain tissue.<br>During the course of the chronic intoxication, symptoms such as irritability (erethism mercurialis), lack of concentration, sleep problems and intention tremor - i.e. trembling when approaching a target - can occur. Furthermore, chronic mercury poisoning often leads to emaciation (cachexia).<br>In addition, oral intake of mercury can cause other symptoms such as impaired vision, hearing and walking, paralysis and psychosis.</p> <p><strong>Dangers</strong></p> <p>Mercury poisoning can be fatal. For treatment, a drug is administered to remove the heavy metal from the body. Normally, so-called chelates are used for this - however, these have the side effect of also flushing out important minerals and trace elements.</p> <h2 id="link_2_4">What are the symptoms and dangers of cadmium poisoning?</h2> <p>We encounter cadmium in everyday life from time to time in batteries and rechargeable batteries. In addition, humans do not actually come into contact with the heavy metal - at least this is the theory.<br>In fact, cadmium, like many other toxic substances, is found in a variety of foods, such as cereals, nuts, cocoa and pulses. It is also often found in meat and meat products. It can also be found in chemical products such as fertilisers or pesticides. Other factors such as smoking and house dust can also contribute to too much cadmium accumulating in the organism.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Symptoms</strong></p> <p>Acute cadmium poisoning manifests itself above all in burns to the digestive tract, which in turn can trigger stomach pain, diarrhoea and severe vomiting. If the poison has entered the organism by inhalation, it can irritate the respiratory tract. If the exposure was immense, it is also possible that pulmonary oedema may develop as a result.<br>Among the symptoms of chronic cadmium poisoning are massive pain, which is why the disease is also called "Itai-Itai disease" (= "ouch-ouch disease") in Japanese. These occur mainly in the back and legs. They are caused by bone softening caused by cadmium, which can lead to spontaneous bone fractures. In addition, the chronic course of the disease is likely to damage the kidneys. Defects in the liver and anaemia are also possible. Furthermore, damage to the central nervous system and the immune system can occur, as well as impairment of fertility with potential infertility. Psychological dysfunctions, damage to the genetic material, cancer and loss of the sense of smell are also possible symptoms, the latter especially if one has poisoned oneself with the heavy metal by inhalation. Chronic inhalative cadmium poisoning can also lead to the development of pulmonary emphysema.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Dangers</strong></p> <p>For a long time it was assumed that you could not poison yourself with cadmium at all. The first poisoning with the heavy metal was not described until 1858. In fact, the human body has a special protein that is able to bind excess cadmium. There is no specific treatment for the disease.</p> <h2 id="link_2_5">What are the symptoms and dangers of ammonium poisoning?</h2> <p>Ammonium is not a heavy metal. Rather, ammonium is a metabolic product that accumulates after the recycling of proteins in our organism.<br>The human body could have too much ammonium, for example, if it has undergone a radical diet. If, during this time, a tight sports programme was also completed in which a lot of protein was converted and plenty of amino acids were produced, an excessive ammonium level is all the more likely. Other reasons for excessive levels of ammonium may include liver disease, a zinc deficiency, consumption of glutamate-rich foods or salmiak liquorice.<br>In addition, a congenital enzyme defect in the urea metabolism can also cause ammonia to accumulate in the blood. If left untreated, this disease leads to brain damage and disability.<br>Even if too much ammonium can poison the organism, the permanently elevated level is not called poisoning. Instead, it is referred to as hyperammonaemia if the ammonium content in the blood is abnormally high.</p> <p><strong>Symptoms</strong></p> <p>Too much ammonium makes the body tired. Sometimes it is possible that it causes a real lethargy in those affected. It can also cause concentration problems, sweating, a drop in blood pressure and cramps. In general, the symptoms of hyperammonaemia are similar to those of ammonia poisoning or acute liver failure.<br>If the disease already occurs in childhood, eating and drinking difficulties can become a major problem and have consequences. Furthermore, brain damage with developmental disorders, learning problems, movement impairments and mental disabilities are possible.</p> <p><strong>Dangers </strong></p> <p>Ammonium is formed when nucleic acids are broken down: it is broken down by the liver into an intermediate product and finally metabolized by the kidney.<br>If ammonium is present too long and excessively in the organism, it can act as a strong neurotoxin. It occupies the sites otherwise occupied by potassium ions, can no longer be split off and leads to permanent irritation of the nerves.<br>The detoxification of the toxin takes place in the so-called ammonium mechanism. In the case of hyperammonaemia, the ammonium level in the blood must be lowered immediately. This can happen through a variety of measures - such as the administration of infusions, medication, blood washing, etc.<br>If the body excretes too much ammonium in the urine, this can also be an indication of urinary stones.</p> <p><strong>How does too much histamine affect the body?</strong></p> <p>Another substance that can cause problems for the body is histamine. Normally, this so-called biogenic amine fulfils a useful purpose: If, for example, foreign substances penetrate our organism, it serves as a neurotransmitter to trigger an inflammatory reaction and thus prevent things getting worse. However, it becomes problematic if too much histamine accumulates in the body or if the organism has developed a histamine intolerance. This can lead to severe symptoms.<br>Histamine is formed and stored in different body cells, such as mast cells or nerve cells. The release of the biogenic amine occurs as a result of stimuli. These can occur, for example, in the form of the body's own enzymes, chemical or physical stimuli, oxygen deficiency or even medication or food.<br>In addition to its ability to trigger inflammations, histamine also serves as a biological messenger for other body functions: It can, for example, help to dilate blood vessels and thereby lower blood pressure. It also plays a role in appetite, sleep-wake rhythm and emotional regulation.</p> <p><strong>Symptoms of too much histamine</strong></p> <p>Too much histamine in the body or the presence of histamine intolerance leads to symptoms that otherwise occur in the context of an allergy: The skin reddens, itches and forms hives. The affected person feels unwell and has a headache. Furthermore, tachycardia and dizziness are possible complaints that can occur in the context of histamine intolerance. Asthma attacks, vomiting and diarrhoea can also occur.</p> <p><strong>Measures to reduce histamine</strong></p> <p>The treatment of an acute relapse can be done with drugs such as antihistamines. In general, however, it is important to orient your diet in such a way that foods with the lowest possible histamine content are consumed. It is also important to avoid foods that do not themselves contain histamine, but can provoke the release of the neurotransmitter in the body.<br>Foods high in histamine include bacterially fermented foods such as smoked meat, ham, offal, canned fish, ripe cheeses, sauerkraut, beer, red wine, vinegar and mushrooms. Furthermore, chocolate, some vegetables and fruits (such as tomatoes, avocados, strawberries and spinach), nuts and alcohol are considered problematic for histamine intolerance. Histamine intolerance is also advised against the use of certain drugs such as anti-inflammatory drugs, which increase the release of histamine in allergy sufferers.<strong>&nbsp;</strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>Dangers</strong></p> <p>In view of the fact that people with histamine intolerance have to organise their diet very specifically, there is - in addition to the unintended intake of histamine - the danger of unbalanced nutrition and thus the risk of an undersupply of nutrients.</p> <p><strong>Reducing the risk potential with zeolite</strong></p> <p>Every day we are confronted with a multitude of harmful substances, whether they are toxic heavy metals or other potentially toxic substances.<br>A healthy body can cope independently with a small amount of harmful substances and detoxify them through the body's own digestion. However, it becomes problematic if the organism is flooded with too many toxins or has certain pre-existing conditions. Then the body's own detoxification functions are overworked and defective processes occur in which toxic substances accumulate in the body and can cause serious damage.<br>Zeolite can help the body cleanse the gastrointestinal tract of toxins and help relieve important detox organs such as the liver and kidneys.</p> <h2 id="link_2_6">Zeolite Powder, Ultra Fine Powder or Capsules?</h2> <p>We offer Zeolite in various grain sizes as a powder, an ultra fine powder and in capsules.</p> <h3 id="link_2_6_1">Powder</h3> <p>The powder can be lightly stirred or whisked in water and then drunken. This allows for early contact with the oral mucous membrane so the polluntant-binding properties can begin to work throughout the entire digestive system.</p> <h3 id="link_2_6_2">Ultra Fine Powder</h3> <p>The ultra fine powder is even smaller and more finely micronized than the powder. As a result, the grains have an even larger inner surface and can bind to more pollutants, which results in a lower dosage as compared to the powder. The ultra fine powder is completely without ''clumps'' and so fine that you have the feeling it might disintegrate.</p> <h3 id="link_2_6_3">Capsules</h3> <p>These vegetarian capsules are the ideal companion for on the go thanks to their easy and practical use. They release their contents from the stomach onwards so that the pollutant-binding properties begin to work in the middle digestive tract.</p> <h2 id="link_2_7">Effect of Zeolite natural cosmetics (external use)</h2> <p>Zeolite-clinoptilolite is by now a core component of natural cosmetics. We already utilize the unique effect of the volcanic mineral Zeolite in almost all of our natural cosmetic products. Zeolite acts like a filter on your skin and binds to harmful toxins that would otherwise irritate your skin uninhindered.</p> <h3 id="link_2_7_2">Zeolite Fluoride Free Toothpaste</h3> <p>Zeolite even proves its positive effect in toothpaste. With the help of Zeolite, impurities and plaque are gently removed. Fluoride, which in high dosages is very harmful and can even be dangerous for humans, is unnecessary. A homeopathically compliant menthol free Zeolite toothpaste is also available.</p> <h3 id="link_2_7_3">Zeolite Hyaluron Gel</h3> <p>Hyaluron gel combined with Zeolite produces a smoothing and nourishing moisturizing gel for your skin that can applied sparingly. It moisturizes and reduces water loss and thereby dehydration of your skin. Natural Zeolite-clinoptilolite supports skin regeneration through its ability to bind with harmful substances.</p> <h3 id="link_2_7_4">Zeolite Skin Cream</h3> <p>The skin's regeneration process is supported by detoxification of the skin. Zeolite works by binding to histamine, harmful heavy metals and toxic particles through adsorption and thereby unburdening the skin. Daily use of Zeolite Skin Cream for Normal Skin is a core component of a daily natural cosmetic routine.</p> <h3 id="link_2_7_5">Zeolite Skin Cream for Dry Skin</h3> <p>Zeolite Skin Cream for Dry Skin is richer than Zeolite Skin Cream for Normal Skin. Zeolite's ability to bind to harmful substances detoxifies and protects the skin.</p> <h3 id="link_2_7_7">Zeolite Skin Powder for external use</h3> <p>Zeolite MED Skin Powder is a non-invasive medical product and natural bioregulator for external use on the skin. The medical product Zeolite MED is comprised of 100% of the natural mineral clinoptilolite-zeolite which originates from a crystalline microporous volcanic rock. Because of its enormous inner surface and its extraordinary properties for selective ion exchange and adsorption, Zeolite MED can, as needed, bind its microporous structure exsudate to harmful substances, particuarly heavy metals like mercury, lead and cadmium, radionuclides, histamine as well as ammonium. Because of these properties, Zeolite MED Skin Powder can be applied to the wound like a protective shield for damaged skin, accelerate hemostasis which reduces further penetration of microorganisms and thereby support wound healing.</p> <h2 id="link_2_8">Zeolite interactions with other medicines</h2> <p>After ingestion of medication, a space of at least two hours should be observed.<br> Do not use simultaneously with alcoholic, caffeinated or acidic drinks such as grapefruit, orange, lemon or pineapple juice.</p> <h2 id="link_2_9">Side effects of Zeolite</h2> <p>In rare cases constipation can occur as a side effect of Zeolite due to low fluid intake. This effect is dependent on dosage and can be avoided through adequate fluid intake and dosage reduction. In the occurence of constipation, increase fluid intake, reduce dosage and, if necessary, consult your doctor.</p> <h2 id="link_2_10">Warnings and precautions</h2> <p>Zeolite MED  is not an alternative for persons suffering from allergies.<br> To support detoxificiation and regulation processes, ensure that there is ample fluid intake when ingesting these medical products, both when ingesting (0,25 liter water) and in terms of the daily ration (2-3 liters/day).<br> In the case of severe kidney function disorders (i.e. kidney insufficiency) Zeolite MED should not be taken. In the case of a medical issue, reduced kidney function, pregnancy or breastfeeding as well as for use for children, Zeolite MED  should only be used after consulting a doctor. This medical product may not be inhaled or applied to the eye. In case of contact with eyes, wash out eyes adequately. Not to be used continuously over long periods of time. Discontinue use if you notice unusual effects.</p> <h1 id="link_3">Use and dosage of Zeolite</h1> <h2 id="link_3_1">Dosage and duration for detoxification treatment with Zeolite</h2> <p>Zeolite can be used individually as needed over days, weeks or months. Due to exposure today from the environment and one's living conditions, these volcanic minerals may also be used over longer time periods as needed. Extensive long-term studies conclude that no negative effects on mineral and vitamin supply could be determined.</p> <h2 id="link_3_2">Dosage of Zeolite for internal use</h2> <p><strong>Maximum volume requirement examples for 2 months</strong></p> <p><strong>Dosage of Zeolite Powder:</strong><br> 1 heaping teaspoon 3x daily = approx. 10g x 60 days = 600g of powder</p> <p><strong>Dosage of Zeolite Capsules:</strong><br> 2 capsules 3x daily = 6 capsules x 60 days = 360 capsules</p> <p><strong>Dosage of Ultra Fine Zeolite Powder:</strong><br> ½ teaspoon 3x daily = approx. 3g x 60 days = 180g of ultra fine powder</p> <h2 id="link_3_3">Dosage of Zeolite for external use</h2> <p><strong>External Use Example:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Zeolite comes in powder form and is commonly used as a foot or body powder</li> <li>Zeolite as a bath supplement for foot baths (1 teaspoon) and full baths (1 tablespoon)</li> <li>You can mix a packet of Zeolite with water until it forms a pulpy consistency, then apply to the affected area, cover with a compress and allow to work overnight</li> <li>Zeolite for skin care use: take a knife point of ultra fine powder in the palm of your hand, mix with skin cream and apply as usual</li> <li>Zeolite for masks: mix 1 teaspoon powder with some water, apply a thin layer, rinse off after 10 – 15 minutes</li> </ul> <h2 id="link_3_4">First time using Zeolite and/or prone to sensitivity?</h2> <p>Past experience shows that those who are prone to sensitivity, or who are using the product for the first time or after a longer break, should begin use gradually by easing in with a low dosage 1x daily. Use can gradually be increased to 2x daily and up to a maximum of 3x daily, as needed.</p> <h2 id="link_3_5">Zeolite regularity, rhythm and times of use</h2> <p>The regularity of use of Zeolite influences its effectiveness, whereas interruptions can minimize it. In the following list, simply find appropriate time windows that work for you. According to Karl Hecht, Dr. med. Dr. med. habil., professor for neurophysiology and professor em. for experimental and clinical pathological physiology at the Institute of Physiology - Charité at the Humboldt University of Berlin, the following daily chronobiological times are recommended for internal use on humans: 6am – 8am, 1pm –3pm, 6pm– 8pm; for overnight use: 10pm.</p>
