What are Clinoptilolites Zeolites

Zeolite Clinoptilolita is of natural volcanic origin. They are hydrated aluminum silicates that have infinite three-dimensional structure. This mineral has a high cation exchange capacity - CTC. It is a product suitable for all animal species.

Zeolitas were discovered in 1756 by the Swedish mineralogist Freiherr Axel Frederick Cronsted. Since then, about 50 species of natural zeolites have been identified and recognized and more than 100 species have been synthesized in laboratories. Zeolites sold by ZEOVET are 100% natural products registered in MAPA - Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply under number SP -59389-30003

It is important to note that aluminum does not leave the crystalline network, so it does not penetrate the body!

The cation exchange capacity, represents the amount equivalent to a cation that can be retained by means of ionic exchange, by a Zeolite mass. The three-dimensional crystalline structure of the mineral forms a mesh with hollow parts, charged with negative ions, thus sequestering toxins and heavy metals by adsorption, in addition to its absorption capacity.

Detoxification is done sequentially, as it has pores that can vary in size due to the simple process of ionic exchange of size exclusion in the manner of a "molecular sieve". Heavy metals such as ammonium, lead, cadmium, aluminum, mercury are easily removed, sequentially, as toxins are allocated in the small intestine, toxic pollutants, ammonium, methane gas, xenoestrogens, histamine.

How Zeolita works

Zeolites work by 3 different mechanisms:

  • Cation exchange: Releases sodium, calcium, magnesium and potassium ions, capturing mono and divalent cations present in the medium;

  • Physical barrier: the spaces between the grains act as a sieve, retaining solid particles;

  • Adsorption: Through weak bonds (Van der Waals bonds) ions are retained on the mineral's surface.
