FAQs

Zeolite in general
Is zeolite = zeolite?

No, there are some significant differences in quality, safety and effectiveness. There are a total of 200 different artificial and natural zeolites worldwide, which differ in terms of their properties and composition. Zeolite clinoptilolite is the only one known that can be used for medical applications, whereby it must be specially prepared using the unique PMA process.

Even clinoptilolite ≠ clinoptilolite, as the place of extraction influences the exact composition of the mineral and the processing/preparation changes the chemical-physical properties of the zeolite clinoptilolite.

As Panaceo utilises an exclusive mining source and uses a unique, patented manufacturing process, the effect shown for PANACEO in studies only applies to PMA (Panaceo Micro-Activation) zeolite and cannot be transferred to other zeolite clinoptilolites. The results of studies with PMA zeolite are therefore not transferable to other zeolites.

The zeolite used in Panaceo products comes from a source in Europe that has been personally evaluated by Panaceo. This source offers the best and purest raw material. An exclusive contract guarantees that this high-quality zeolite clinoptilolite is extracted using a gentle and environmentally friendly mining method and is supplied exclusively to Panaceo. This quality of raw material is significantly higher than the average material that is often used.

The clinoptilolite content is a quality feature and is specified at > 80 % for PMA zeolite. This proportion has been confirmed by university analyses. This means that the raw material used is one of the highest quality, most natural active ingredients on the market for its purpose.

The mineral composition of the material is also continuously tested in-house at our company with approx. 1,000 samples per year using special, high-tech laboratory equipment. Suitable raw materials are also characterised by a high silicon content and a low pollutant load.

PMA technology (Panaceo-Micro-Activation) is a globally unique, patented process that helps to optimise the special biophysical properties of the volcanic mineral.

The main features are the enlargement of the surface area, an even distribution of the particles and, above all, the displacement of the oxygen bridges. This results in a significantly improved effect that other manufacturing processes cannot achieve.

Intake, dosage & suitability for use

General intake recommendations:

  • BASIC-DETOX PLUS: 1 level portion spoon 2-3 x daily or 3 capsules 2-3 x daily.
  • MED DARM-REPAIR: 1 level portion spoon 2-3 x daily or 3 capsules 2-3 x daily.
  • MED THERAPY-PRO: 1 level portion spoon 2-3 x daily or 3 capsules 2-3 x daily. (Take a break from therapy on the day of radiotherapy)
  • SPORT PURE: 1-2 x daily 1 levelled portion spoon or 2-3 x daily 3 capsules.
    Stir 1 portion spoon into the respective sports drink or take 12 capsules before intensive exercise (training & competition).

Regular intake:

As with all natural active substances, consistent, regular intake is very important important in order to achieve the corresponding success. The PMA zeolite acts like a filter in the gastrointestinal tract and is transported further as part of the natural digestive process until it is excreted loaded with harmful substances. To ensure that there is always enough filter material available to bind harmful substances, the intake can be divided into two times a day. (e.g. 1x in the morning and 1x in the evening)

Gradual dosage at the start of intake:

When starting to take the product, start with a lower dose (especially for the powder products) - this applies in particular to people whose gastrointestinal tract reacts sensitively to changes and those who suffer from constipation.

It is therefore recommended to start with 2 x ½ portion spoonfuls. If the product is well tolerated, the intake can be increased over time to the full dose of max. 3 portion spoonfuls. This is best adjusted according to how you feel.

  • The duration of use should be at least 12 weeks or as long as the recurring physical stress is present.
  • According to the product authorisation, long-term use to support intestinal health is also possible.

Apart from occasional constipation, no side effects are known. This is particularly important if you suffer from chronic constipation. Therefore, please make sure that you always drink enough (at least 1.5-2 litres per day) when taking zeolite products.

Even though constipation is currently the only side effect recorded, not everything can be predicted, so it is important to recognise any other negative/unexpected/undesirable effects. For this reason, it is recommended for safety reasons to stop taking the product if an unexpected effect occurs.

The general recommendation is to take it with a glass of water (at least 100 ml) at mealtimes.

There are three ways of taking it:

  • before a meal
  • with a meal
  • after the meal

All three options have their advantages and disadvantages. Taking it before a meal optimises the absorption of nutrients. After the meal, it reduces the formation of oxidative stress and with the meal it is a mixture of both effects. It can directly bind harmful substances that may be present in the food.

It is not really possible to formulate a recommended intake for everyone (with, with or after meals) and is therefore at the discretion of the user.

As a general rule, it is important to ensure sufficient fluid intake when taking zeolite.

We recommend taking the PMA zeolite 2 hours after the medication and, unless otherwise prescribed, before the zeolite.

The reason for this safety instruction is that the medication is absorbed after 1-2 hours, while the PMA zeolite remains in the gastrointestinal tract, absorbs harmful substances and is excreted during normal digestion - loaded with harmful substances.

It is recommended to consult a doctor if you are taking medication at the same time.

As interactions can be virtually ruled out due to the pore size and the mineral pre-loading of the natural mineral, it would also be possible to take food supplements at the same time. The food supplement should be taken before the zeolite product, as it metabolises immediately after ingestion. The PMA zeolite remains in the gastrointestinal tract and is excreted as part of the natural digestive process.

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.

To date, there is no evidence of possible harmful effects during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, there is insufficient data to confirm that it is completely safe to take during pregnancy - especially as toxicological studies on pregnant women cannot be carried out for ethical reasons. In this case, please be sure to consult your doctor.

Which dosage form is taken is up to the individual. Zeolite powder has the advantage that it passes through the entire digestive tract, starting in the mouth, and unfolds its effect immediately. Capsules, on the other hand, only dissolve after some time, so that the zeolite is only released in the gastrointestinal tract. Capsules are particularly convenient when travelling and are preferred by people who do not like the natural taste of zeolite.

  • The content of one capsule of the zeolite products is approx. 410 mg.
  • The content of one portion spoon corresponds to approx. 3-4 g.

How long you can get by with one dose depends on the dosage and how regularly you take it. The following table is only a guide:

Dosage formAmount to be takenWeeks
Powder 400 g1-2 PS/dayapprox. 5-6 weeks
Powder 200 g1-2 PS/dayapprox. 3-4 weeks
Powder 100 g1-2 PS/dayapprox. 2-3 weeks
Capsules 200 pc.6 capsules/dayapprox. 4 weeks
Capsules 100 pc.6 capsules/dayapprox. 2 weeks

*PS = portion spoon

Die gleichzeitige Einnahme von Darmbakterien zusammen mit PMA-Zeolith ist durchaus empfehlenswert. Darmbakterien können ohne zeitlichen Abstand gemeinsam mit PMA-Zeolith eingenommen werden. Der PMA-Zeolith bindet Schwermetalle und Ammonium, da diese positiv geladene Ionen (Kationen) sind. Darmbakterien hingegen sind weder positiv geladen noch passen sie in die Hohlräume des PMA-Zeoliths, weshalb sie nicht gebunden werden.

💡 Die kombinierte Einnahme bietet den Vorteil, dass die Darmschleimhaut repariert und das Mikrobiom durch die Darmbakterien optimiert wird.

Zeolite quality & safety

If a product is approved as a medical device, this means that it is safe, effective, easy to use and of good quality. This approval shows that the product has been carefully tested and this can be recognised by the CE marking on the product.

This testing concerns not only the manufacture, but also the sale and monitoring of the product on the market. In addition, the safety and efficacy of the product must be proven by scientific studies.

The raw material zeolite is already more than 200 million years old. For this reason, the material is not expected to spoil after 5 years. For regulatory reasons, however, the date must be limited for regulatory reasons.

Consumption beyond the best-before date is at the discretion of the user. Of course, correct storage is important: dry, sealed and at room temperature.

The PMA zeolite from PANACEO, which is authorised as a medical product, is safe and effective. It contains a lot of silicon, which means that the aluminium remains solid in the zeolite and is not released. There is therefore no risk of harmful aluminium being released. The PMA zeolite is also stable, which means that it does not break down or release aluminium in the gastrointestinal tract. Clinical studies have shown that taking PMA zeolite has no effect on blood aluminium levels, so no aluminium enters the bloodstream.

The PMA zeolite from PANACEO has a particle size of 4 to 7 micrometres (µm). This size is optimal to ensure effective binding of harmful substances without the particles being too small to enter the body. The particle size of 4 to 7 micrometres is well outside the nano range (1 to 100 nanometres), which means that the particles cannot enter the bloodstream. This size provides an increased surface area, which is important for binding pollutants without compromising safety.

Effect of zeolite

The special PMA zeolite from PANACEO protects the body in a special way. It works like a sponge in the gastrointestinal tract, absorbing harmful substances such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, chromium, nickel and ammonium. Loaded with harmful substances, it is then excreted naturally via the faeces. As a positive systemic side effect, minerals and trace elements (e.g. calcium, magnesium or potassium) are also released in traces.

In the gastrointestinal model, the affinity of PMA zeolite for mercury was also investigated. The result showed a tendency to bind, but no significant reduction. For this reason, we are not yet able to analyse this effect on the product. In any case, the affinity of the PMA zeolite is given by its selectivity.

The selective adsorption of pathogenic substances (including mercury = Hg) by the PMA zeolite was carried out in vitro in the gastrointestinal environment in a university collaboration. The study was deliberately carried out with multitoxins. In addition to Hg, the heavy metals lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) were also used.

There was a significant reduction of Pb, Cd, As, Cr and Ni. For Hg there was no significant reduction
significant reduction, but a promising binding tendency.
