The anti-inflammatory action of zeolite as help in the body's response to irritants
The anti-inflammatory action of zeolite can help improve our body’s overall well-being.
Generally, inflammation is the body’s immune system’s reaction to an irritant. It commences when the body endeavors to resist damaging or dangerous pathogens, chemicals, or radiation.
Inflammations usually occur in various body parts, like the skin, joints, ears, bronchi, bladder, and intestines. There are various types also. Some inflammations come with visible and some with invisible symptoms.
Our immunity system initiates inflammation to defend our body when injuries, diseases, or harmful infections occur. Inflammation acts as the first line of healing.
Clinoptilolite zeolite, tribomechanically activated, may act wonders when inflammation occurs in the intestinal area. Researchers have found that zeolite can increase the production of B-lymphocytes and Immunoglobulin A (IgA). These two are the essential protective agents of the intestines in defense from pathogenic bacteria.
IgA is the antibody that the human body is most abundantly producing. It is found in the mucosal tissues, mainly in the gut. Having a low level of IgA in the blood means possessing low power to fight sicknesses.
The action of zeolite on intestinal lymphoid tissues acts similarly to probiotics. It helps improve the intestinal ecosystem and strengthen the immune system.
Zeolite assists the body in protection from inflammation in professional sports and endurance training
Playing professional sports requires considerable effort from the body.
To withstand such a strain on the body, the athletes take a diet made chiefly from animal proteins. Taking a lot of animal proteins is good for strength, but it can lead to some problems for the gut.
Because of a high protein intake, there are frequent intestinal complaints. Subsequently, following a high protein diet, symptoms such as a sense of sickness with an inclination to vomit, stomachache, intestinal cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting often appear.
These bothersome disorders usually occur because of excessive protein fermentation and the high amount of ammonia released in the intestine. In addition, intense training can also compromise intestinal permeability and stimulate cell-mediated inflammatory responses.
That’s why we see more and more that many professional athletes are turning towards vegetarian type of proteins, which are not producing so many gut problems.
Due to its ion-exchange capacity, zeolite acting as a detoxifier, helps the body to bring the inflammation down. Thus it may help improve the strength of the intestinal membrane. At the same time, zonulin accumulation will decrease with the more vital integrity of the intestinal barrier. Zonulin level shows if there has been an increased intestinal leakage.
So, in that way, the anti-inflammatory action of zeolite might have favorable impacts on nausea and diarrhea due to excess protein consumption.
