Abstract
Methods are provided to make clinoptilolite into a water-soluble hydrolyzed form suitable for various administration routes, including oral administration. Absorption of water-soluble hydrolyzed clinoptilolite fragments can aid in detoxification by binding heavy metals and environmental toxins, can reduce reactive oxygen species and inflammation related to heavy metals and other/environmental toxins, resulting in an increase in energy, and/or in an increase in one or more of focus, concentration, and memory. Water-soluble hydrolyzed clinoptilolite fragments can be combined with one or more dietary supplements, including various vitamins and sleep aids.
Claims20
A composition comprising an aqueous solution of water-soluble clinoptilolite fragments,
- wherein 91 percent to 98 percent of the fragments have a particle size from 0.1 microns to 1.0 microns and are adapted to cross cellular membranes,
- wherein the water-soluble clinoptilolite fragments include fragments having molecular weights ranging from 100 Daltons to 1000 Daltons, and
- wherein there is substantially no suspended clinoptilolite in the composition.
A method of making water-soluble clinoptilolite fragments comprising:
- hydrolyzing zeolite clinoptilolite with acid in a single step;
- and
- separating the hydrolyzed zeolite clinoptilolite into a liquid portion and a solid portion, the liquid portion including the water-soluble clinoptilolite fragments,
- wherein 91 percent to 98 percent of the fragments have a particle size from 0.1 microns to 1.0 microns and are adapted to cross cellular membranes,
- wherein the water-soluble clinoptilolite fragments include fragments having molecular weights ranging from 100 Daltons to 1000 Daltons, and
- wherein there is substantially no suspended clinoptilolite in the liquid portion.
