Is zeolite also suitable for children and infants?
According to the safety information, there is insufficient study data available for use in children and adolescents, so consultation with a doctor is necessary. From a toxicological point of view, there is no reason why it should not be taken by children. From an immunological point of view, however, we recommend that children should be exposed to diseases until their immune system is fully developed (especially infants). Therefore, prophylactic intake of zeolite is not recommended.
The recommendation of the reference physician Dr Triebnig provides a general guide:
- Children: 1 coffee spoon - 1 mocha spoon
- Infants: ½ mocha spoon
The dosage should always take body weight and age into account and should not be administered continuously - especially in the case of diarrhoea and then only during this time.
However, this guide is not a substitute for consulting a doctor in the event of specific problems.
