Can the aluminium be absorbed into the body from the zeolite?
A. No. The aluminium in the product is at the centre of a tetrahedron (it’s surrounded by tightly-held oxygen atoms). It is not free to exchange into the system. So imagine you have a pyramid that’s made of oxygen with aluminium in the centre of that pyramid. It’s what they call ‘non-exchangeable aluminium’. We have done studies where we have found that Activated Liquid Zeolite increased the excretion of additional aluminium, which means that the zeolite is pulling aluminium out of the body in addition to the aluminium contained in the product itself.
