Can the aluminum be absorbed into the body from the zeolite?
A. No. The aluminum in the product is at the center 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 aluminum in the center of that pyramid. It’s what they call ‘non-exchangeable aluminum’. We have done studies where we have found that Natural Cellular Defense increased the excretion of additional aluminum, which means that the zeolite is pulling aluminum out of the body in addition to the aluminum contained in the product itself.
