How does liquid zeolite remove heavy metals but not healthy ones?
It is all down to the size, shape and electronic configuration of the zeolite cages which have the greatest affinity for heavy metals, namely mercury. The lighter healthy metals like calcium, magnesium and phosphorous, on the other hand, are smaller ions and so their affinity to the zeolite cage in orders of magnitude is less. In any case, our Activated Liquid Zeolite comes pre-loaded or activated with these healthy ions, so substitution results not just in the loss of a toxic ion, but the gain of a healthy one in its place. That’s actually the ‘secret’ while our zeolite is such a potent chelator.
