Clinoptilolite (a naturally occurring aluminosilicate mineral, classified as a zeolite).

Often found in equine “joint” and “hydration” supplements.

This zeolite is a very dangerous substance for horses, why?

-Potential impact on bone mineral density

-Interference with trace mineral bioavailability

-Not biologically nutritive

-Binds more than toxins

-Mineral stripping from the digestive tract

-Powerful ion-exchange properties

Zeolite (clinoptilolite) functions as a mineral binder, not a feed ingredient. Its indiscriminate adsorption may reduce mineral absorption, disrupt internal balance, and place unnecessary strain on skeletal and metabolic systems when used long term.
