Natural zeolite as a CE-certified medical device for Switzerland

Zeolite is a naturally occurring volcanic mineral and the sole ingredient in ZeolithMED. Available in powder and capsule form, it can support the body's detoxification of toxins. Its use may potentially reduce symptoms associated with elevated heavy metal levels, such as fatigue and headaches. ZeolithMED is an independently tested product for oral use in humans.
The effect of zeolite is based on adsorption and ion exchange. The natural mineral zeolite is indigestible and can selectively bind toxins such as certain heavy metals in the human gastrointestinal tract on its porous, sponge-like surface. The toxins bound to the zeolite in the digestive tract can thus be excreted from the body via the intestines before being absorbed. These toxins include heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, nickel, and aluminum. The effectiveness and safety of zeolite under the brand name ZeolithMED were tested and confirmed during the medical device approval process.

Bind pollutants with zeolite
Natural zeolite powder can act like a sponge, helping to relieve stress on the body. The surface of this silicon-rich mineral has a particularly high capacity to bind pollutants. The process involved is called adsorption.
What is zeolite and how can it work?
Zeolite is a crystalline volcanic mineral with a microporous structure. The name "zeolite" comes from ancient Greek and means "boiling stone," because the mineral releases water and effervesces when heated. The special property of zeolite lies in its ability to bind harmful substances through selective ion exchange and adsorption.
The potential effects of zeolite are based on its unique crystal lattice structure, with numerous cavities containing cations such as calcium, sodium, magnesium, and potassium. This structure allows zeolite to act like a sponge, absorbing harmful substances. As an indigestible mineral, zeolite passes through the digestive tract and can bind heavy metals and other toxins, which can then be excreted naturally.
Zeolite: Natural stone with a long tradition
Since the Middle Ages, healing clay, which includes zeolite, has been used as a natural remedy for various health ailments. After the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, zeolite was used extensively to bind radioactive substances and decontaminate the environment.
Natural zeolite, in the form of clinoptilolite, was already used for detoxification in ancient times. After the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the building was encased in a cement belt containing tons of zeolite. The powdered mineral was also used to decontaminate people and the surrounding area.
How does adsorption with zeolite work in humans?
When zeolite is used medicinally, it is used as clinoptilolite – a natural, microporous tuff rock. Natural zeolite has a crystal lattice structure with many cavities. These cavities contain cations such as calcium, sodium, magnesium, and potassium.
Due to its structure, zeolite can both adsorb substances and facilitate ion exchange. Adsorption can cause foreign substances to adhere to the surface of the rock. A similar process can also occur during ion exchange: This process can release the mineral's cations and replace them with pollutant ions present in the body.
Like a sponge, the mineral can bind toxins in the digestive tract and naturally expel them from the body. This special property allows zeolite to contribute to health. Zeolite itself is indigestible and is excreted through the intestines.
The possible effect of zeolite
Zeolite can bind (adsorb):
- mercury
- Lead
- cadmium
- aluminum
- nickel
The CE-approved medical device ZeolithMED can be used to relieve the body's stress by detoxifying the intestinal tract.
The possible effect of zeolite is based, among other things, on its special property of binding harmful substances such as aluminum (Al3+), lead (Pb2+) and mercury (Hg2+) through selective ion exchange and adsorption.
The natural mineral zeolite has been used since ancient times for its special properties for natural detoxification and is known for its effective pollutant-binding effect (adsorption). We offer pure zeolite as a tested product for internal and external use.
Why do people need help in dealing with pollutants?
The healthy human body is normally capable of metabolizing toxins in food and from the environment to a certain extent. However, certain pre-existing conditions—such as liver damage, allergies, or gastrointestinal diseases—can cause the body to become unbalanced and no longer be able to properly degrade harmful substances. Excessive intake of toxins or exposure to particularly toxic substances, such as heavy metals, also pushes the body to its limits, and illnesses can result from the overloading of the organism.
If you have pre-existing medical conditions, it's important to keep your body as free from harmful substances as possible. This can be achieved, for example, through a strictly controlled diet, such as a special diet. However, even this approach is unlikely to completely eliminate potentially harmful substances such as lead or cadmium from your body.
Relieve the liver – keep toxins away
The liver is one of the body's most important detoxification organs and has a significant impact on the immune system and our overall well-being. An overburdened liver can manifest itself in the form of exhaustion, sleep disturbances, and bloating. Taking zeolite can have a positive effect on the gastrointestinal tract and, in turn, relieve the liver by removing toxins.
The substances that natural zeolite can selectively bind include heavy metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium.
Dangers of heavy metals in everyday life
It is generally assumed that the risk of heavy metal poisoning is relatively low in everyday life. Strict legal regulations create the impression that it is rather unlikely that you will come into contact with a dangerous dose of contaminants.
The reality, however, is quite different: In fact, virtually everyone is exposed to some form of toxic substance every day. Heavy metals are often even ingested unknowingly through food. Unwashed fruits and vegetables, meat, old lead pipes, contaminated drinking water on vacation, or high concentrations of mercury in seafood can burden our bodies and lead to various health problems. Zeolite can have a detoxifying effect and potentially protect your body from heavy metals.
Reduce the risk potential with zeolite
Every day, humans are confronted with a multitude of harmful substances, be they potentially toxic heavy metals or other potentially toxic substances.
A healthy body can cope with small amounts of harmful substances on its own and detoxify them through its own digestive system. Problems can arise when the organism is flooded with too many toxins or if certain pre-existing conditions exist. In this case, the body's own detoxification functions may be overwhelmed, leading to faulty processes that can cause toxic substances to accumulate in the body and cause damage.
Zeolite can help the body cleanse the gastrointestinal tract of toxins and thus help relieve the burden on important detoxification organs such as the liver and kidneys.
Zeolite powder, ultrafine powder or capsules?
We offer zeolite in different grain sizes as powder, ultrafine powder and in capsules.
powder
The powder can be easily mixed or whisked into water and drunk. This ensures contact with the oral mucosa, allowing its toxin-binding properties to work throughout the entire digestive system.
Ultrafine powder
The ultrafine powders are even smaller, or more finely micronized, than powders. This gives them an even larger internal surface area and allows them to bind more pollutants, which is why they require a lower dosage than powders. The ultrafine powders are completely free of "crumbs" and so fine that they almost feel as if they are dissolving.
Capsules
The purely plant-based (vegan) capsules are the ideal companion for on-the-go thanks to their simple and practical use. Capsules are taken with water and offer an alternative for people who don't like the taste of the natural mineral.
Effect of zeolite natural cosmetics (external application)
Zeolite clinoptilolite has now become an integral part of natural cosmetics. We already utilize the unique properties of the volcanic mineral zeolite in various natural cosmetic products. Zeolite can act as a filter on your skin, binding harmful toxins that could otherwise irritate and inflame your skin.
Zeolite toothpaste without fluoride
Zeolite can also exert its beneficial effects in toothpaste. With the help of zeolite, impurities and plaque can be gently and effectively removed. Fluoride, which can be very harmful and even dangerous to humans in high doses, is not necessary.
Zeolite skin cream
The potential detoxification of the skin can support the skin's regeneration process. Zeolite can work by binding harmful substances, thus relieving stress on the skin. Daily application of this rich zeolite skin cream for all skin types can become an integral part of your daily natural cosmetic routine.
Zeolite interaction with other agents
Leave at least two hours between taking medication. Do not consume at the same time as alcoholic, caffeinated, or acidic beverages such as grapefruit, orange, lemon, or pineapple juice.
Side effects of zeolite
In rare cases, constipation may occur as a side effect of zeolite if fluid intake is insufficient. This effect is dose-dependent and can be avoided by adequate fluid intake and a dose reduction. If constipation occurs, increase fluid intake, reduce the dosage, and consult your doctor if necessary.
Warnings and precautions
To support the detoxification and regulatory processes, it is important to ensure adequate fluid intake while taking ZeolithMED, both when taking it (0.25 liters of water) and in terms of the daily ration (2-3 liters/day).
Use in patients with existing constipation and impaired renal function should only be undertaken after consultation with a physician. This also applies to drug therapy or chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children and adolescents (under 18 years of age) must contact their doctor before use.
Not intended for continuous use. Discontinue use if you notice any unusual effects.

- Zeolite for masks: Mix 1 teaspoon of powder with a little water, apply a thin layer, and rinse off after 10-15 minutes.
First time using zeolite and/or sensitive?
Experience has shown that in cases of high sensitivity, first-time use or longer breaks, use should begin slowly with lower doses of 1x daily and, if necessary, slowly increase to 2x daily up to a maximum of 3x daily.
Frequently asked questions about zeolite
Why should I detoxify with ZeolithMED, even if I eat a healthy diet?
Because pollution has increased in recent decades—in our food, air, water, and our living and working environments. ZeolithMED can help relieve the body of these unavoidable environmental burdens.
Why is zeolite suitable for detoxification in humans?
Our ZeoliteMED is a 100% pure natural mineral without additives or impurities, independently tested, and CE-approved. The mineral's special structure enables the selective binding of harmful substances in the digestive tract before they can be absorbed by the body.
What should I pay attention to when using it?
When using ZeolithMED, it is important to ensure adequate fluid intake. It is recommended to drink at least 2-3 liters of water daily while taking it.
What is the difference between ZeolithMED, BentonitMED and ZeoBentMED?
The different mineralogical structures are the main difference. Zeolite and bentonite can both bind pollutants. Bentonite has two additional properties: It swells, and when mixed with water, it can form a protective gel film. This can be particularly helpful for sensitive gastrointestinal mucosa.
In ZeoBent , both minerals are combined, meaning that zeolite and bentonite can complement each other, which is why the ZeoBent mixture can be particularly effective.
How are toxins removed from the body?
Zeolite is insoluble in water and indigestible, meaning it travels through the digestive tract like a sponge, selectively binding harmful substances, and is excreted naturally along with the bound toxins. The metabolism remains unaffected.
Does zeolite also bind vitamins, enzymes, minerals and hormones?
No, decades of observational use and scientific studies have shown that even with daily, high-dose use, no deficiencies occur.
In what form are the detoxification products available?
Our ZeolithMED is available in powder and capsule form, all without additives or impurities. The capsules are naturally purely plant-based.
What is the difference between zeolite powder and zeolite capsules?
The powder is mixed with water and drunk, allowing it to take effect starting from the oral mucosa and active throughout the digestive tract. Capsules are convenient for on-the-go use, and the effect only begins in the stomach when the capsule shell dissolves.
Where is zeolite mined?
Our zeolite comes from high-quality deposits in the Carpathian Mountains. Quality tests are conducted in accredited testing laboratories. Further processing takes place under strict quality standards.
