Quick verdict
The MED® Vulkanmineralien range by Natur Vital Handels GmbH includes 3 medical devices (CE 0477) for heavy-metal detoxification. They share an identical intake protocol (2-3 times/day, after meals, max 12 weeks). The only difference is composition:
Zeolith MED 100% clinoptilolite zeolite. Targeted action through ion exchange for heavy metals and ammonium.
ZeoBent MED Zeolite + bentonite (80/20 or 50/50). Combined action for comprehensive detox.
Bentonit MED 100% montmorillonite bentonite. Broader adsorption surface, gastrointestinal support.

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
Important None of the 3 options is objectively “better.” The right answer depends on your specific need health history and your doctor’s advice In any case, medical confirmation before starting is recommended.

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
In summary At the mechanism level: Zeolith = targeted ion exchange. Bentonit = broad adsorption. ZeoBent = both combined.
Dosage — All identical!
The advantage of the Natur Vital range All 3 products share the identical intake protocol. This means you can alternate between them without changing your routine — as long as you observe the minimum 1-week break between programs.
General protocol for all products

- When: Immediately after meals
- How: Powder → mix in 250 ml water · Capsules → with 250 ml water
- Maximum duration: 12 weeks

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.

- If it appears: reduce dose, increase fluids, and consult a doctor
Rare side effects (all products)
- Flatulence (bloating)
- Stomach pain
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
Usually subside after the first few days. If they persist, discontinue and consult a doctor.
Who NEEDS medical advice before use (all products)
- Kidney dysfunction
- Pre-existing illness
- Medication use

Manufacturer and certification
All 3 products of the MED® Vulkanmineralien range are made by the same Austrian manufacturer: Natur Vital Handels GmbH Wirtschaftszeile Ost 10 A-4482 Ennsdorf, Austria All have CE 0477 certification as medical devices. Instructions revision: Rev. 00, 06/2023
Why it matters A product with CE certification as a medical device has undergone strict safety, efficacy, and quality controls. This is European legal certification, not a simple quality mark. That is why it is important to distinguish CE-certified products from generic “bentonite” or “zeolite” sold on the market without equivalent certification.
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.
