Zeolite, a mineral recognized for its outstanding absorption capacity, plays a crucial role in deworming protocols. It is not limited only to eliminating parasites and fungi such as candida from the body, but also contributes in an integral way to the improvement of health. As an essential element in an antiparasitic program, zeolite acts as a purifying agent, binding to toxins released by parasites and facilitating their safe elimination through the digestive system, avoiding any harmful reabsorption in the body.

Numerous studies have shown its effectiveness in reducing the presence of parasites in a variety of animal species. For example, in research with rats, it was observed that the administration of 10% clinoptilolite (a type of zeolite) in their regular diet led to a significant elimination of intestinal parasites. This mineral was also effective in accelerating the recovery of rats after infection by Nippostrongylus brasiliensis nematodes, by enhancing intestinal α-d-glucosidase and aminopeptidase activity. These findings were later corroborated in lambs, where clinoptilolite was reported to markedly reduce gastrointestinal parasite infestation.

However, its benefits go beyond the simple elimination of toxins, since it also enhances the effectiveness of antiparasitic medications. It has been shown that zeolite can amplify the activity of these drugs, allowing a more effective and rapid action against parasites.

In addition to its absorbing and enhancing properties, zeolite has an active role in stimulating the human immune system. Its presence invigorates the body's defenses, improving the fight against parasitic infections. In other words, it acts as a strategic ally, enhancing the body's natural responses to parasites.

At a deeper level, zeolite demonstrates its versatility with its drying and ammonia-absorbing properties. It is capable of dehydrating and weakening parasites, depriving them of the humid, toxic environment they need to survive. This effect results in a multifaceted attack against parasites, hindering their survival and spread.

Furthermore, zeolite can prevent parasites from absorbing heavy metals, an essential factor for their growth and reproduction, thus restricting their expansion.

Last but not least, zeolite strengthens the intestinal barrier. Through this mechanism, maintaining a balanced intestinal pH and flora can prevent the entry and proliferation of new parasites, thus safeguarding the intestine against future attacks.
