It did nothing for me. You sent me nothing in a bottle.
Response from Touchstone Essentials, IncMay 26, 2026
Good morning, Andrew! Thank you for your purchase and feedback. Your assertion that we sent you "nothing in a bottle" is not the case. Starting zeolite for the first time, your body may be working through years of accumulated toxins, and that process looks different for everyone. Some people notice a difference within the first few days. For others, it takes a few weeks of consistent use before anything shifts. And some people don't feel any noticeable change at all while they're taking it. That last part is worth knowing: a surprising number of customers only realize the zeolite was doing its job after they stop taking it for a while and then notice the difference. If that happens to you, welcome to the club. Not feeling an obvious effect right away doesn't mean it isn't working. Zeolite supports the body's natural ability to cleanse at a cellular level, and that's not always something you can feel. Everyone's body is different, everyone's starting point is different, and detox isn't a one size fits all experience. Stick with it, and give your body the time it needs. Pure Body Extra (PBX) zeolite detox spray and Pure Body drops work to remove heavy metals and other toxins from the gut and cells of the body. As heavy metals and toxins are removed, the body can function at an optimal level. Through supporting the immune system, trapping free radicals, and helping to balance the body’s pH, you may find you have improved energy levels, a more restful sleep, improved focus and clarity, and an overall sense of well-being. As a natural mineral supplement, Pure Body Extra (PBX) and Pure Body are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Customer service is horrible!
Customer service is horrible! The person I contacted about my order was very rude, didn’t even know how to look up my account and was very verbally abusive as in talking down to me! I would not ever purchase from this place ever again as I was told that my account was not charged after my order was cancelled and I did get charged. I do not recommend this company as they had a lawsuit against them for lead poisoning a couple of years ago. Do your own research and shop at your own risk.

Hi Milton! We are sorry to hear this interaction left you feeling frustrated, and we appreciate you giving us the opportunity to address your concerns.
After a thorough review of the call recording, we are unable to confirm that our team member was rude or verbally abusive at any point during the interaction. Our team member handled the call professionally throughout. The conversation included language that fell outside of what our team members are required to engage with, which led to the call being disconnected.
Regarding your order, our team member located your account using the name provided at the start of the call, but was initially unable to locate a recent order. Once the order number was provided, an account under a different name — not linked to the phone number used for the call — was found. The order was canceled due to the use of a new customer discount offer, and our team explained the reason for the cancellation. You were absolutely right to question the charge, and we apologize for any confusion. We can confirm that a full refund has been issued. Depending on your payment method through PayPal, processing times can range from the same day up to 30 days, based on your bank or card issuer's policies.
The article on Trend Tracker News is an unfortunate example of an AI-generated fake story. There is no lawsuit involving Touchstone Essentials in any shape or form. Rather, this seems to be a case of an international website (based in Kathmandu, Nepal) trying to hijack commonly searched terms for the company (such as our name, product name, etc.) to drive traffic to their site. A quick review of other articles on their site shows similar stories. We are evaluating our legal options to have this false and misleading story removed.
We have a responsibility to ensure a respectful environment for both our customers and our staff. If there is anything further we can assist with, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly at [email protected].

I bought a 3 month supply for me and my 2 daughters. We all took it as stated and found absolutely no benefit. A 30 day guarantee is not long enough to see/feel a difference. After 6 weeks, I contacted the company and they wouldn't take back any of tje unopened bottles. What a waste of €1600. I STRONGLY suggest not buying more than 1 bottle if you are willing to risk trying it. Im so disappointed. I was so convinced from people on tiktok BIG MISTAKE!!

Hi Denise. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we are truly sorry to hear that you and your daughters did not see the results you were hoping for. We completely understand how disappointing that feels, particularly given the investment you made.
We understand that our 30-day guarantee window did not align with the timeline you needed, and we genuinely wish we could change that outcome for you. Your feedback about how we communicate our return policy is something we are taking seriously, and we appreciate you being direct with us about it.
If there is anything else we can do to support you, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Hi! Thanks for the recent order and for taking the time to share your thoughts with us! We're sorry to hear that our supplements haven't quite met your expectations. When using zeolite for the first time, detoxing the initial heavy metal load can take some time. Some folks notice a difference right away, for some, it takes a few weeks, while others never notice a difference. Not noticing a difference right away or at all doesn't mean the zeolite isn't working; everyone is different and feels different effects from a detox. Pure Body Extra (PBX) zeolite detox spray and Pure Body drops work to remove heavy metals and other toxins from the gut and cells of the body. As heavy metals and toxins are removed, the body can function at an optimal level. Through supporting the immune system, trapping free radicals, and helping to balance the body’s pH, you may find you have improved energy levels, a more restful sleep, improved focus and clarity, and an overall sense of well-being. As a natural mineral supplement, Pure Body Extra (PBX) and Pure Body are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to our friendly Support Team!

Over priced products - poor affiliate support
I've been both a customer and an Affiliate of Touchstone, but I won't be using or promoting their products any longer.
The products themselves are comparatively expensive which I assume is because they have to factor in the commission they have to pay to Affiliates promoting their products. There's cheaper equivalent products on the market.
I'm not sure how Touchstone are still selling their zeolite drops and sprays for human consumption in the UK and Europe as zeolite is now classed as a 'novel food' and I notice other zeolite brands no longer give dosage information on their labels.
The Touchstone website encourages you to 'Autoship' and buy packs of 5 to get the best price which, to most consumers nowadays is not a viable option.
With regard to Affiliates, the commission structure makes it difficult to earn money for the majority of Affiliates. For example, as an Affiliate+ (which means you get paid commission on your downline) you have to either introduce 5 new paying customers a month or make personal purchases to the value of 100PV. As an example, buying 5 bottles of their Fulvic Minerals at the best price of £175 would only give you 90PV meaning you wouldn't even qualify after buying 5 months worth of one of their products! You would have to spend further on another product to get an additional 10PV to qualify for that month and have to do the save every month to remain qualified.
There is the option of just Affiliate, whereby you do not need to meet any minimums, but you only earn commission from your personally introduced customers, and not from your downline. This defeats the whole purpose of a 'Multi Level' marketing business model and I can't imagine any serious Affiliates being interested in this option.
As a Touchstone Customer or Affiliate, you are almost coerced into signing up for an Autoship subscription throughout the checkout process. Even if you choose a 'one-off' purchase, rather than subscription, you are hit with pop-ups and tick boxes throughout the check out process to encourage you to subscribe to auto-ship - not good customer practice.
There's more bad practice concerning the Affiliate+ fees. The cost to be an Affiliate+ is $19.95 a year. (in the UK you are billed the UK equivalent). Again there is an 'Auto-Renewal' box, and heres' the catch. Not many people like 'Auto-Renewal' as lots can change in 12 months, however if you fail to tick the Affiliate+ auto-renewal box, in 12 months time you lose your position as Affiliate+ and drop to Affilate - meaning you LOSE your whole downline! Naughty!
Touchstone say they send a reminder email, but beware, they don't.
On the positive side, Touchstone offer a wide range of products which are tested to contain very low levels of heavy metals and many of their products contain organic ingredients. The pay off is the high price.

Good morning! Thank you for your purchase and feedback. Touchstone believes it’s not too much to ask for your nutritional supplements to meet the same high standard you want for your food: organic, clean, and natural. This starts with organic practices, which mean fruits and vegetables that are free of herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides. Touchstone uses ingredients that are grown sustainably and gently processed to preserve the goodness within. All formulas are vegetarian friendly, and include plant-based enzymes and probiotics. We are sticklers about quality control and test everything before it ever gets close to the bottle. We select a diverse array of powerful plants that deliver concentrated nutrition in a convenient form. Efficacious, clean nutrition at your fingertips is the goal, and it simply costs more. You have a choice. After using our products, your experience will demonstrate that the extra efforts are worth it.
Touchstone Essentials adheres to all guidelines for selling our products in the associated country, we sell where it is legal to do so, which includes the UK and Europe. The website contains offers for opting into the auto-ship subscription, we also have 3 and 5 pack options of some of our products to increase the savings that customers see. You’re by no means required to do so, but the option is there if you’d like it. On the contrary, the 3 and 5 pack options are very popular with our customers and the auto-ship subscription is even more popular.
In regards to your comments about the Affiliate + membership and remaining active via the 100PV threshold, this information is provided to Affiliate+ members during sign-up via the terms and conditions and we’ve made it even easier to remain active by introducing the option to have 5 personally enrolled members of your downline as an option, instead of 100PV per month. This is a goal that many Affiliate+ members are easily able to maintain.
We don’t coerce anyone into any purchase or program, there are options throughout the checkout process making customers aware of their options and the available upgrades and programs they can opt into, but again, that’s the extent of it, they can opt into these programs, they’re not forced or coerced to do so.
Many of our Affiliate+ members opt into the yearly auto-renewal, however, once again, our Affiliate+ policies and procedures covers what happens if you opt out of the yearly renewal. The Affiliate+ program is only available via a yearly membership, so if you opt out of that membership and lose your Affiliate+ status, you’re downgraded to you a standard customer account, this is standard practice with many memberships that require a paid option.
Furthermore, we do send quite a few emails out to customers regarding concerns with their accounts, if you haven’t received one of our emails, we’d suggest checking your spam filters and folders.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
