Zeolite: The World's Best Detox Supplement

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.

Zeolite is one of the most fascinating and powerful natural remedies out there! Zeolite is a naturally occurring mineral that contains a very strong “cage-like” structure and negative charge. There are many types of naturally occurring zeolites. The zeolite that is being discussed in this article is called clinoptilolite, which is the form that has been most studied for human consumption.



How Does Zeolite Work?

Zeolite is a naturally occurring mineral that contains a very strong “cage-like” structure and negative charge. There are many types of naturally occurring zeolites. The zeolite that is being discussed in this article is called clinoptilolite, which is the form that has been studied most thoroughly for human consumption. Due to its strong negative charge, zeolite is attracted to positively charged elements which it collects in it’s cage-like structure.


Considering that many toxic elements- things like mercury, lead, cesium, ammonia, mycotoxins and many environmental toxicants- are positively charged, zeolite is pulled to the toxins, like a magnet, and sucks them into its structure. These dangerous substances become trapped in zeolite’s cage structure, and are then safely and gently carried out of the body.


What Does Zeolite Bind to?


Heavy Metals- Heavy metals are toxic metals that accumulate in our bodies over time and put an enormous burden on our immune and nervous systems, and make our bodies work overtime to stay healthy. Eventually our bodies lose the ability to keep up with the excess demand and symptoms such as chronic fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and a host of other symptoms and conditions can manifest. Zeolite can target hidden metals such as lead, cadmium, and arsenic among other in your body and trap them in its cage-like structure for safe removal. Once the heavy metal burden is lifted your body can start functionally at its peak potential again.

Environmental Toxicants- In the 21st century we face an unprecedented number of toxic stressors in our daily lives. From the air you breathe, to the food you eat - toxins are everywhere. Over time these toxins accumulate in your body wreaking havoc on your health.  Fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, a weakened immune system, and countless health issues are common side effects when these toxins build up. Since these toxins have a positive charge most of them will fall victim to zeolites strong binding capacity for safe removal from the body.


Mycotoxins- Mold toxicity is increasingly becoming recognized as a serious problem and a player in a number of chronic conditions. Mold toxins (mycotoxins) can result in strong immune responses that lead to a state of chronic inflammation and hypersensitivity. Clinoptilolite zeolite has been shown to bind to mycotoxins including Aflotoxins and Ochratoxin A.


Radioactive Particles - Clinoptilolite has been shown to bind to radioactive isotopes such as cesium-137 and strontium-90. Clinoptilolite has been used to successfully remove these radioactive isotopes from waste water. Clinoptilolite was used on a large scale during the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and was successfully used to decontaminate low-level radiation waters. The cesium concentration was reduced by a factor of 1000.


Metabolic Waste- As our bodies are hard at work day and night trying to remain in balance, toxic byproducts are produced which are known as metabolic waste. Ammonia is an example of a metabolic waste product produced by the body. Ammonia is highly toxic and can wreak havoc on your body if not effectively cleared. Ammonia is produced in a number of ways in the body including during protein digestion. Your liver takes the ammonia and converts it to urea which is then filtered through the kidneys and out of your body. Urea is also toxic but not as bad as ammonia. The process in which the body converts ammonia to urea is called the urea cycle. If your body’s ability to complete this process efficiently is impaired, as is often the case with poor liver function, ammonia builds up in the blood and becomes very toxic- causing damage to the central nervous system and can even cross into the brain where it is toxic to brain cells. If kidney function is impaired urea may build up which is also toxic. The good news is that zeolite binds to both ammonia and urea!


Zeolite vs Activated Charcoal and Bentonite Clay

There are a number of great natural binders out there including activated charcoal and bentonite clay. These are fantastic products and can be very helpful in a detox protocol. But binders such as charcoal and bentonite clay don't have the same capabilities as zeolite powder. Charcoal and bentonite are great at mopping up toxins but they don't have the binding capacity of a high-quality zeolite powder. Bentonite clay and charcoal may be used in conjunction with zeolite in a detox protocol but it's my opinion that zeolite should be included and considered the primary agent for a systemic detox. Another key to consider when using most binders is that they aren't selective like zeolite so they bind to everything with a positive charge including minerals. Zeolite is a selective binder that only goes after toxic metals so you don't have to worry about it depleting your body of essential minerals.


Is Zeolite Safe?

Yes, absolutely...well at least the high-quality clinoptilolite zeolite we utilize in ZeoCharge™. I can't speak to the safety of other zeolite products on the market. Our zeolite goes through a proprietary cleaning process to remove any toxic elements or contamination and is micronized for human consumption. It is noteworthy that there are many types of zeolite, but we are only talking about clinoptilolite zeolite here, which is the primary type of zeolite that is used in supplements. Zeolite is a natural mineral and has a variety of elements in it. It is important to note that the structure of clinoptilolite zeolite does not get broken down in the body. Because zeolite does not get broken down in the body, it does not leach any elements that make up the compound. Zeolite is not like an essential mineral that is utilized for cellular functions. It simply passes through your body collecting positively charged toxic elements and then is excreted. Warning- This is only true for purified clinoptilolite zeolite. Other forms of zeolite have not been studied for human health and I don't recommend consuming them.


How to Choose a Quality Zeolite Supplement

The two most important aspects to consider when utilizing zeolite for detox are quality and quantity. 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 zeolite supplements may be contaminated with toxic elements which lower the total binding power of the zeolite in your body. Here are four things to look for in a zeolite product:


Natural Clinoptilolite Zeolite: There are a number of forms of zeolite, and the one that has been studied and proven safe for human consumption is clinoptilolite. Many of the other types of zeolite have lower silica content, which makes them less stable and could lead to a breakdown of the zeolite structure in your body. In addition, many forms of zeolite have sharp edges, opposed to the softer-edged clinoptilolite. There are a number of synthetic forms of zeolite that have been developed, and some are being sold in supplements. I highly recommend avoiding these, as studies show that synthetic zeolite can leach aluminum into the body, while natural clinoptilolite does not. The percentage of clinoptilolite in natural zeolite products also varies. Look for a product with over 90% clinoptilolite. Many products on the market are in the 70–80% range. ZeoCharge™ contains 94% clinoptilolite.


Cleaned: Naturally occurring zeolite is often contaminated with a number of toxic elements due to its strong binding capabilities. It is important that the zeolite is cleaned to remove any unwanted contaminants. The cleaner the zeolite, the more binding capacity it will have.


Particle size: We recommend zeolite particles in the range of 0.5–8 microns. We have found that zeolite products within this range are the most widely studied and most effective. With particle sizes over 8 microns, the zeolite becomes quite grainy and has a texture similar to sand. A range of particle sizes from 0.5 to 8 microns seems to work great, and that is what is in ZeoCharge™. If the particle size is larger, the product becomes less effective and more unpleasant to consume. We don’t recommend nano zeolite due to lack of research and safety concerns. We don’t recommend liquid zeolite products or sprays due to the extremely low dose that is present in these products.


Choose Powder: Although there are a number of quality liquid zeolite products on the market, we have found that they don’t compare in effectiveness to a high-quality, full-spectrum zeolite powder like ZeoCharge™ primarily due to the low zeolite content as they are diluted with water.


Proof: It is always nice when a company can back up their claims with some data. ZeoCharge™ has been shown to be an effective tool to lower tissue levels of 15 heavy metals. You can check out some of the proof on the case studies page.


What About Liquid Zeolite?

First of all just to clarify, liquid zeolite is not actually liquefied zeolite, it's powdered zeolite mixed with water. Most of the liquid zeolite products on the market are simply traditional powdered zeolite mixed with water. So we are essentially talking about the same zeolite being used in the liquids and the powders. There is really no advantage to these liquid zeolite products over a high-quality zeolite powder. These companies often make claims such as their zeolite is "hydrated" which means nothing more than that it is mixed with water. If you take a small amount of powdered zeolite and mix it in water you have just made your own "hydrated" liquid zeolite. Many of these products are marketed as nanosized zeolite although they are the same particle size as many of the powders, because they are just powdered zeolite mixed with water. In some cases however, liquid and spray zeolite supplements exclusively contain nanosized zeolite particles which are smaller than what is used in many powdered zeolite supplements. The idea here is that these nanoparticles can cross the blood brain barrier and provide a full-body detox while many of the powdered zeolite supplements only detox the gut. This is great in theory but in reality these liquid zeolite supplements are limited in what they can detox and pose potential safety concerns due to the low dose in the products and lack of research on nano zeolites. In addition, some of these nano-sized zeolite products are lab-grown or synthetic opposed to naturally occurring zeolite.
