We began supplements as soon as received. We saw an increase in negative behaviors, brain fog and saw an increase in hunger. We reached out and decreased the dose. Still no improvement. We finally stopped the supplements and things got better. This didn't work for us.

Good morning, Lyndee! We hope this finds you well. Thank you for your purchase and feedback. With the exception of brain fog, these are not typical side effects of Zeolite detox. Most people who use natural zeolite report positive experiences as they detox heavy metals and toxins. Some people may have mild detox effects when they start out. In most cases, reducing the amount of zeolite and increasing water intake will ease those effects. The zeolite Clinoptilolite has been granted GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status by the Food and Drug Administration. Since zeolites will attract water to facilitate the detoxification process, adequate filtered water intake is suggested (8 to 10 glasses a day) to avoid dehydration. If any signs of dehydration do appear (headaches, tiredness), increase your water intake and reduce your zeolite intake for that day. In rare cases, someone may experience a Herxheimer reaction or “healing crisis” whereby you may experience worsening symptoms for a short period before feeling relief. Herxheimer symptoms may include: Headache Nausea Upset stomach Brain fog Fatigue However, because the zeolite clinoptilolite captures and holds heavy metals and toxins within its crystalline structure, a detox reaction is less likely to occur, since the toxins do not come in contact with the body’s systems as they are removed. This makes zeolite a far more gentle and preferred detoxification method compared to any other method. Please let us know if you have any further questions!
