How Much Zeolite Should I Take?

Updated: Dec 14, 2025

Important Note: There are many types of zeolite and many zeolite products on the market that differ greatly. The content presented here is based off of experience with ZeoCharge™ and may not be relevant for all zeolite products.


Please note that all of the content presented here is for educational purposes only. This is not medical advice or a recommendation of any kind.


The two most important aspects to consider when utilizing zeolite for detox are quality and quantity. Here we'll see why getting the right dose of zeolite is essential for a proper detox, and that all of the general supplement dosing rules don't apply with zeolite supplements.



The Zeolite Dosing Paradox

The biggest mistake I see people making with zeolite is taking too low of a dose. The traditional start low and slow approach to supplements does not apply with zeolite- a lower dose is more likely to cause detox reactions than a higher dose. Too low of a dose will results in redistribution of toxins, and an ineffective detox. Although it seems counter-intuitive, we recommend starting with a higher dose and working down to a lower dose. The higher the dose, the less likely you are to experience a detox reaction and redistribution of toxins. Taking a higher dose of a high-quality zeolite powder like ZeoCharge™ can expedite your results and reduce or eliminate uncomfortable symptoms associated with detox, even in sensitive individuals. Starting with a higher dose is especially important for individuals prone to detox reactions. It is very important to note that this observation is based on use with ZeoCharge™ and may not apply to all zeolite products. ZeoCharge™ meets certain criteria that makes this possible, many zeolite supplements do not.

The Dosing Explanation

Here are Five Reasons why a Higher Dose is Gentler and more Effective than a Low Dose:


Reason One: A Higher Dose Prevents Redistribution of Toxic Elements.

Redistribution occurs when things get stirred up and the body isn’t able to remove all of the toxins from circulation. The toxins that are not expelled from the body relocate to a new home in the body. Taking a higher dose of zeolite results in having enough available zeolite cages to deal with toxins currently in circulation and toxins that are pushed into circulation as things get stirred up in the body during the detox process. This prevents the body from being overwhelmed with toxins which results in redistribution and an overall stressful experience on the body.


Reason Two: A Higher Dose helps remove immune-stimulating toxins that are released during detox, preventing an unnecessary immune response resulting in inflammation.

As toxic elements are dumped into circulation the immune system starts attacking these elements which results in inflammation and stress on the body. Having available zeolite cages to bind to these toxic substances before the immune system attacks them will prevent inflammation and symptoms from occurring.


Reason Three: A higher dose of zeolite helps prevent or remove byproducts of detox that are stressful on the body such as excess histamine and free radicals. Available zeolite cages will help reduce current levels of free radicals and histamine along with any histamine and free radicals produced during the detox process.


Reason Four: A higher dose helps remove your “daily dose” of toxins that are lowering your body’s total detox potential. Removing these toxins allows your body to better deal with toxins dumped into circulation as things get stirred up during detox. Your daily dose of toxins is the total amount of new toxins your body is exposed to daily. The daily dose is made up of toxins from external exposure along with internal production. Most people don’t realize that the majority of the toxins the body is exposed to are generated from within. These internally produced toxins include metabolic waste and microbial waste. When you add these to other internally produced toxic substances such as free radicals and excess histamine, the daily dose of toxins adds up fast. If your body is already having a difficult time keeping up with its daily dose of toxins, starting a detox protocol to remove stored toxins may overload the body resulting in redistribution of toxins and uncomfortable detox symptoms. The higher your daily dose of toxins, the more zeolite you will need.


I believe that zeolite’s ability to help remove the body’s daily dose of toxins is why so many of these “too sick to detox” individuals have been able to successfully detox with zeolite. Once again the dose is crucial. A low dose could overwhelm the system if there aren’t enough available zeolite cages to remove the daily dose toxins from circulation before additional toxins start getting stirred up.


Reason Five: A higher dose helps raise your body’s natural detox capacity by balancing pH levels, reducing inflammation, optimizing immune function, reducing oxidative stress, and improving nutritional status.


The amount of toxins each person is able to handle will be determined by what I call natural detox capacity, which is simply your body’s ability to remove toxins through natural detox functions. The healthier your body is, the higher your natural detox capacity will be. There are many factors that will lower your natural detox capacity including chronic inflammation, an overstimulated immune system, oxidative stress, pH imbalance, and nutrient deficiencies to name a few. The goal is to have a natural detox capacity high enough to effectively remove the daily dose of toxins plus have energy to remove stored toxins. Your ability to avoid accumulation of toxic elements in your body is largely determined by your natural detox capacity. The lower your body’s natural detox capacity, the faster you will accumulate toxins. The healthier you are, the higher your natural detox capacity will be which means your body can handle a higher load of toxins and accumulation will be kept to a minimum. A less healthy individual will have a lower natural detox capacity and toxin accumulation will occur at a much higher rate. The more stress your body is under the lower your natural detox capacity will be. When the body is burdened with anything that makes it work harder than normal to stay in balance its ability to detox decreases and whatever toxins the body can’t remove will be pushed into organs and fatty tissue for storage. Not only does zeolite directly bind to toxins, but it can greatly improve your natural detox capacity. Just from binding to toxins in circulation it takes a load off of the body and helps it keep up with the daily dose of toxins. Now that the body has some help it will stop accumulating toxins and will start dumping toxins from storage for elimination. Zeolite reduces the formation of free radicals and prevents oxidative stress from occurring, it helps regulate the body’s pH, calms down the immune system, lowers inflammation, helps optimize essential nutrient levels, helps repair the lining of the gut, and more. All of these things will contribute to a higher natural detox capacity. Of course it taking the proper dose of zeolite is essential to achieve this. Taking too low of a dose could lower your body’s natural detox capacity, while taking a proper dose will raise it. If a low dose of zeolite is taken which results in redistribution of toxins and stress on the body, the body’s natural detox capacity will go down. If a proper dose is taken that removes stress on the body, natural detox capacity will rise.

Real World Example

Let’s consider the experience of Heidi when starting on ZeoCharge™. Heidi is the “sensitive” type who has a difficult time with detox protocols due to terrible detox reactions that seem to happen every time she tries a new product or protocol. Some practitioners have even told her that she is “too sick to detox.” For years Heidi has been challenged with MCAS, chronic Lyme, mold toxicity, heavy metal toxicity, EMF sensitivity and the list goes on. Heidi has tried almost everything searching for something that will help her get back on track with her health. She hasn’t been able to stick with any of the detox protocols she has started due to the terrible detox reactions that she experiences. She has tried supplements along with technology such as infrared saunas but everything she tries seems to be too much for her body to handle. Heidi heard about ZeoCharge™ and decided to give it a try in hopes that this was the answer that she has been looking for. She was terrified of the recommendation of taking 10 grams so she decided to start with 400mg instead to see how she would react. Bad idea- Heidi ended up bed ridden for 3 days. Terrible weakness and neurological symptoms are a couple of the debilitating symptoms that resulted from this low dose. After receiving a call from Heidi informing me that the ZeoCharge™ did not work but made her worse I asked how much she took. After learning that she only took 400mg (25x less than than the 10 grams/10,000mg I recommended) I encouraged her to immediately take 20 grams. She was uncomfortable with the suggestion considering this was 50x the dose that just made her feel terrible but she decided to give it a try based on my explanation. She called me back about an hour later in a state of unbelief...She felt amazing! She gleefully explained that her fatigue and brain fog started lifting within 10 minutes of the 20 gram dose. Heidi began experimenting with various doses and confirmed that low doses made her feel terrible, while high doses made her feel better than she has felt in years. The higher the dose the better! Heidi is now taking between 10 and 20 grams per day and loving every spoonful of ZeoCharge™!


"Holy Shift" Reactions

Taking the proper dose of zeolite can greatly reduce your chances of experiencing a detox reaction by reducing the redistribution of toxins and metals but sometimes "shift happens" and "holy shift" symptoms may be unavoidable. When you first start taking zeolite a major transformation begins to take place. Metals and other toxic elements are uprooted and removed and pathogenic microbes are disrupted. This shifting process can be stressful and result in a number of reactions. Everybody responds a little differently to zeolite based on their toxic load and microbial activity. The more toxic an individual the more likely a reaction will occur because it will result in a more dramatic shift/transformation in the body. As toxic elements are removed and microbes are balanced your body begins shifting into a healthier state. During this shift some will experience undesirable side effects which might make them say, “holy shift what is happening to me?” The more toxic or gut-impaired an individual the more likely that they will experience “holy shift” symptoms.

How Much Zeolite Should I Take?

The dose needed varies from person to person based on a number of factors. Basically, the more complex the health challenge the higher the dose that is needed. For ZeoCharge™ we have found that a starting dose of 10 grams per day (2 scoops), taken all at once, works great. If a headache or other detox symptoms occurs it is recommended to double the dose. The healthier you are, the less you need.


Maintenance dose for a healthy individual: 5 grams (one scoop) per day, taken all at once.


Dose for someone who is not as healthy as they would like to be: 10-30 grams per day, taken all at once.

Important Note

Everything I have mentioned in this article is based off of my experience and research with ZeoCharge™ . I cannot speak to the quality of other zeolite products on the market and these principles may not apply.


Choosing a Quality Zeolite Supplement

It's important to choose a quality, effective zeolite product and also to take it at the necessary dose. Utilizing a poor quality zeolite or taking the wrong dose can result in negative outcomes. Poor quality or liquid zeolite supplements lack the dose, combination of large and small particle size and binding capacity needed for an effective detox.
