Zeolites are microporous minerals of volcanic origin. Chemically they are hydrated aluminosilicates of alkaline and alkaline-earth metals. The name "zeolite" derives from the Greek words "zeo" = "boil" and "lithos" = "stone", therefore it means stone that boils and derives from the fact that, when heated, it releases water without modifying the aluminosilicate structure and it seems to bubble. Zeolites are mostly formed from the encounter between incandescent lava and the brackish water of the seas. They appear as natural minerals with a microporous structure consisting of thousands of small channels capable of binding significant quantities of toxins and heavy metals harmful to health, as well as free radicals, nitrosamines, ammonium ions, mycotoxins, pesticides and radioactive cations.

BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Numerous studies have been carried out on a particular type of zeolite for its possible applications in medicine: the activated clinoptilolite zeolite.

Activation generally refers to the application of a chemical, chemical-physical or physical process to a material so that it can react more easily. Thanks to an activation method that is implemented with the use of special mills, the structure of the zeolite particles acquires particular properties which, combined with the increase in the surface, allows to bind toxins, metals and free radicals faster and more stably. increasing its activity. Starting from a size of about 3 square meters per gram of clinoptilolite zeolite, after activation it reaches over 250 square meters per gram, it is a purely physical process. Activated clinoptilolite zeolites are characterized by numerous negative charges present in the channels that are neutralized by as many cations such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium and are able to perform a double function: that of binding organic molecules of various kinds in the channels, for example toxins, (function of molecular sieve) and that of releasing the cations present in them by binding in their place the toxic heavy metals and free radicals (cation exchangers).

Free radicals are present in our body and are used as a defense system. Studies on oxidative stress, however, indicate that an excess of free radicals can not only cause pathologies, but also aggravate them; among these, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, those of the gastrointestinal tract and many others. The factors that cause the formation of free radicals are many and complex: pollution, fine dust, pollutants present in food, irregular and unbalanced diet, smoking, stress, drugs, chronic diseases etc. The consequence of the presence of an excess of free radicals in the body is the attack of some cellular structures with consequent functional damage which, if not eliminated, can cause the onset of various pathologies and the acceleration of aging processes. Even in sports there is the production of free radicals that limit athletic performance because they are accompanied by the presence in the muscles of a significant amount of lactic acid.

Zeolite is one of the important tools to fight and neutralize free radicals. Furthermore, zeolites act on heavy metals: mercury, lead, cadmium are among the best known and most dangerous toxic agents for the body and for the environment, present in minimal quantities in the dust we breathe and in the foods we ingest. Zeolite through the reduction of these metals in the gastro-intestinal tract can reduce their presence in the whole organism (/ detoxification) and / or avoid their absorption into the tissues (prevention). Recent studies on the use of activated clinoptilolite zeolite in combination with standard therapies have highlighted its positive action on the circulatory system, on arterial pressure, on recovery after heart attack or on the digestive system, on gastric hyperacidity and duodenal ulcers. The action of zeolite has also been studied on rheumatism, on the treatment of kidney infections and on the treatment of dermatological diseases present in patients with diabetes, while other observations concerned the direct application of the powder and numerous skin diseases. Finally, there are several scientific researches that demonstrate the anticancer and antioxidative effect of micronized zeolite. Finally, several clinical studies show that clinoptilotite treatment could affect tumor growth by weakening the vital signals of cancer cells and causing the suppression of cancer genes in treated cells.

The adjuvant capacity of zeolite in anticancer, chemo and radio therapy can be attributed to its participation in protein synthesis, the ability to contribute to the construction of connective tissue, to the adsorbing action, to the control of calcium metabolism in cells by the silicon present. in its structure and finally to the antioxidant action.
