Which to choose — decision guide
Choose Zeolith MED if…
- You want targeted zeolite action without admixture
- You have ammonium issues (liver load)
- It is your first experience with mineral detoxification
- You prefer a single-ingredient product (cleaner profile)
- You want a more economical option
- Also available as ultra-fine powder for faster action
Choose ZeoBent MED if…
- You want the most comprehensive detox approach
- You target metals + histamine + toxins simultaneously
- You already have experience with pure zeolite or bentonite and want an upgrade
- You want the “gold standard” product without compromises
- Higher cost for broader action is acceptable
- Also available as ultra-fine powder
Choose Bentonit MED if…
- You have gastrointestinal issues (bloating, toxins)
- You want a broad adsorption surface for a variety of toxins
- You target chronic histamine or allergies
- You prefer pure bentonite without zeolite
- You have a sensitive stomach (bentonite acts protectively)
- You want a “softer” approach than pure zeolite

All 3 products are available in different forms and packaging, with verified authenticity.
Composition and mechanism of action
Zeolith MED — Pure clinoptilolite zeolite
Clinoptilolite zeolite is a natural mineral with a nano-scale porous structure. It acts as a molecular sieve with negatively charged voids that capture positively charged ions (cations). Specifically it binds:
- Heavy metals: Pb, Hg, Cr, Cd, Al, Ni
- Ammonium (NH₄⁺) — strong indication for liver load
- Histamine (moderate action)
It acts in the gastrointestinal tract without being absorbed into the bloodstream. It is excreted naturally with stool.
ZeoBent MED — Combination of zeolite + bentonite
ZeoBent adds montmorillonite bentonite to clinoptilolite in a ratio of 80/20 or 50/50. This way you get both ingredients in one product — their actions are complementary:
- Zeolite: ion exchange for metals and ammonium
- Bentonite: physical adsorption for toxins, histamine, organic substances
- Synergy: broader spectrum of action than any single ingredient
Bentonit MED — Pure montmorillonite bentonite
Montmorillonite bentonite is a volcanic clay mineral with a layered sheet structure. It has a broader adsorption surface per gram and swells up to 15× in water. It binds:
- Heavy metals through surface adhesion
- Organic toxins and histamine (strong action)
- Water — forms a gel that “cleans” the gastrointestinal tract
Dosage — All identical!
General protocol for all products
- Frequency: 2-3 times per day
- When: Immediately after meals
- How: Powder → mix in 250 ml water · Capsules → with 250 ml water
- Maximum duration: 12 weeks
- Break: At least 1 week before resuming
- Medications: 2-hour wait (take medications first)
- Avoid: alcohol, caffeine, acidic beverages (grapefruit, orange, lemon, pineapple)
Differences across forms
- Ultra-fine powder (1g/dose): Available only in Zeolith MED and ZeoBent MED. Not in Bentonit MED.
- Regular powder: Available in all. Zeolith/ZeoBent → 2g/dose. Bentonit → 1g/dose.
- Capsules 500mg: Available in all. 2 capsules/dose (=1g) in all.

Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between Zeolith MED, ZeoBent MED and Bentonit MED?
The main difference is in composition. Zeolith MED is 100% clinoptilolite. ZeoBent MED is a mix of zeolite + bentonite (80/20 or 50/50). Bentonit MED is 100% montmorillonite bentonite. All share the same intake protocol and CE 0477 certification.
Which one should I choose for heavy-metal detoxification?
All 3 target the same metals (Pb, Hg, Cr, Cd, Al, Ni) but through different mechanisms. Zeolith MED works through ion exchange. Bentonit MED through adsorption. ZeoBent MED combines both mechanisms. For a holistic approach, ZeoBent MED is the gold standard. For targeted action, choose Zeolith or Bentonit depending on complementary needs.
Do they have different dosages?
Not at the protocol level: all 2-3 times/day, immediately after meals, max 12 weeks. Only the powder dose differs: Zeolith/ZeoBent need 2g regular powder, while Bentonit only 1g. Capsules give the same dose (2 capsules = 1g) in all.
Are they made by the same manufacturer?
Yes. All 3 are made by Natur Vital Handels GmbH (Wirtschaftszeile Ost 10, A-4482 Ennsdorf, Austria) with CE 0477 certification. They are a product range from the same manufacturer (MED® Vulkanmineralien).
Can I alternate between them?
Yes, under conditions. Because they have a maximum duration of 12 weeks with a mandatory 1-week break, you can run consecutive programs. For example: 12 weeks Zeolith MED → 1 week break → 12 weeks ZeoBent MED → 1 week → 12 weeks Bentonit MED. Always after medical advice.
Do they have the same side effects?
Yes. All 3 share a similar safety profile: common constipation during the first week, rare flatulence, stomach pain, nausea, dizziness or fatigue. Prevention with proper hydration (≥2-3 liters of water per day).
Which is the cheapest?
Per gram, typically: Zeolith MED is the most economical (simpler production), followed by Bentonit MED, then ZeoBent MED (more complex blend). See current prices on shop.zeolife.gr.
When should I choose ultra-fine powder over regular?
Ultra-fine powder (available in Zeolith MED and ZeoBent MED, NOT in Bentonit MED) has a larger active surface per gram, so faster action and requires a lower dose (1g vs 2g). It is gentler for sensitive stomachs. Regular powder is more economical per program.
