The Real Thing Zeolite Powder – 300g
N$193.20Zeolite Powder
A volcanic mineral compound with maximal detoxifying effects. Eliminates toxins from the body and helps your system detox naturally. Take volcanic rock and ash, add some alkaline ground water, then wait a few million years. Voila! Zeolite.
What Zeolite can do:
- Fight infections: It blocks viral replication – as in cases of herpes zoster. Studies also suggest that zeolites help treat hepatitis C, colds and flu.
- Reduce hangovers: Seriously. Zeolite removes the toxic metabolites that cause alcohol after-effects like nausea and headaches. It also improves liver function by helping to remove pesticides, herbicides, and xeno-estrogens.
- Relieve allergies: It captures and clears the triggering antigens that cause asthma, allergies and migraines.
- Remove free radicals: A 2002 study by German rheumatologist Wolfgang Thoma found that zeolites can slow the oxidation process by 100% and delay muscle tissue oxidation by 50% in athletes.
- Optise and alkalinize: It helps maintain an alkaline pH between 7.35 and 7.45, which promotes healthy brain and immune function.
- Soothe the stomach: It counters acid reflux, acute diarrhoea and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It also works to neutralise nitrosamines – carcinogenic compounds found in processed meats and thought to contribute to stomach cancer.
- Skin: Zeolite improves skin quality and fights the visible signs of ageing. An attractive extra.
- Increase energy levels: A 2006 report found that 70% of patients treated for conditions like ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, hepatitis, cancer and burns showed significant improvements in vitality, general health and appetite during the first seven days of zeolite treatment.
- Boost mood: It eliminates toxins and increases serotonin production. Research even suggests that zeolites can help relieve depression. Happy days.
Suggested use:
Try The Real Thing Zeolite for a multisystem internal detox, or a skin-deep external one.
- Orally: For detox, take 1 teaspoon (5g) daily, mixed with water or a cold drink of your choice, for at least 30 days. For acute conditions, take 1 teaspoon three times daily, or consult your health practitioner. Mix well and drink quickly.
- As a face mask: Mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of The Real Thing Zeolite with a little water to make a paste. Before the paste dries, apply evenly over the face (as well as neck and chest if desired). After 10 minutes, rinse with water and mild soap. Use once every two weeks. If skin feels dry after application, apply a moisturiser. If irritation occurs, suspend use and consult your health practitioner.
Warnings:
Consult your physician if pregnant/nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.
Supplement facts:
Pure zeolite (95-98% clinoptilolite balance opaline silical.)
