product description
Why Zeolite and Bentonite mixed? Because they complement each other excellently! More than the sum of their parts!
Natural Zeolite Bentonite Mixture - 600g in BPA-free 1.25-liter can
70% Zeolite Clinoptilolite ø 6 µm, milled in airflow with 30% Bentonite-Montmorillonite, ø 10 µm milled hot in the ball mill and dried
If anything belongs together, it's these two minerals! The somewhat "rougher" Zeolite as crystalline and the soft, gentle Bentonite as a layered clay mineral, which is capable of forming a protective film on the mucous membranes and binding mycotoxins even better than Zeolite. As a mixture, they are an excellent third option in this area. Professionally mixed in a ratio of 70:30, there is no need to let the Bentonite swell, as the particles are so finely mixed together that hardly any clumps can form.
However, the occurrence of geogenesis-activated Bentonite from the Aegean is unfortunately exhausted, and our special supplier for this mineral has informed us that Bentonite of this quality is no longer available anywhere in Europe. Our supplier certifies the Bentonite as a pharmaceutical excipient and does not want to use Bentonite activated by chemical processes. Therefore, we have now sourced the Bentonite from Fort Benton, Wyoming, the original location of this mineral, after which it is named. However, mixing this Bentonite with the mixture is a little more difficult than before. It is not as easily soluble in water as the other, all mixing attempts in the system result in a completely homogeneous mixture, but it acts a bit slower in liquids when dissolving. You need to stir a little longer, which also enhances the electricity and thus the effect. This Bentonite can absorb up to 10 times its weight in water and swell up to 16 times its volume.
Zeolite / KlinoMont® and Horses
Horses have a hard time with what grows in the pastures nowadays and what they are fed as hay. The grass toxins, which are supposed to increase yield and grass resistance nowadays, are good for the grass but very bad for horses. Their sensitivity in the digestive tract, a little too many carbohydrates, and the balance in the cecum are immediately disturbed, the environment becomes too acidic, the bacteria that digest carbohydrates multiply almost explosively.
There are also the fiber-digesting bacteria, which, in order to access the nutrients therein, break down the fibers, but also the carbohydrate-digesting bacteria. Ideally, the two should always balance each other out, because in this way the pH value in the environment is balanced. However, if too many carbohydrates enter the cecum, these bacteria multiply extremely, a sour environment is created due to the lactic acid they excrete. This is hostile to the fiber-digesting bacteria, in which the endotoxins are stored, which are released when these bacteria die. This acidic environment damages the intestinal walls, and the endotoxins and lactic acid can migrate through the intestinal walls into the extracellular matrix and eventually end up in the blood, where they can be responsible for acidifying the entire organism piece by piece. In horses, this often leads to hoof problems. First signs such as foul-smelling stool, diarrhea, watery stool, bloating, infections, or allergies may indicate such an overload of the intestinal flora. The detoxification metabolism is completely overwhelmed, and the immune system is weakened.
This is where aluminosilicates come in handy, such as Zeolite and Bentonite as a mixture, both basic ion exchangers with a pH value between 8.5 -10. They bind pollutants and, in exchange, release colloidal minerals to the weakened body. Additionally, they both bind mycotoxins, which is crucial for the grass toxins.
KlinoMont® is very gentle on horses because, through airflow micronization, it is not only very fine but also contains almost no Zeolite particles over 20 µm, the 30% Bentonite with the largest contained particles of about 38 µm is sufficient in the mixing ratio to gradually completely coat the digestive tract with a gel protective film without sedimenting in the cecum. Following the motto "more is better", horses were given rather coarse Zeolite in quantities of 100g / day as with cows (which doesn't bother them as much), which resulted in poor horses having colic from sedimented coarse Zeolite in the cecum. Even a healthy large horse doesn't necessarily need more than 10-20 g / day of KlinoMont®, in acute cases not necessarily more than 30g per day. We have heard from many customers that these amounts are completely sufficient. KlinoMont® has a lot of power in this regard. It should also be noted that chemical medications can be completely nullified without a time gap, especially very hard, metal-containing medications.
Tip: The easiest way is to mix KlinoMont® 1 X 1 with water and then mix the paste under the feed, with dry feed mix the powder underneath. It is also good to mix it in the drinking water of the horses while stirring.

Zeolite - Clinoptilolite
Our 6µm natural Zeolite Clinoptilolite, like many high-quality Zeolites, comes from the Carpathian belt. It is mined there according to the specifications of our Austrian suppliers and milled in Austria to about 125 µm (microns) in a roller bowl mill / hammer mill. After that, it is milled and activated in the Jet Mill process (the spiral jet mill is a gentler development of the tribomechanical micronization TmaZ) by the manufacturer of the mills and a specialized service provider in an airflow at about 300 km/h through particle / particle collision to ø 6µm (microns). It is therefore also referred to as a "grinding body-free process". Our Zeolite does not contain any nanoparticles. The datasheet and the chart on grain size distribution are available for viewing.

Klinoptilolite is legally not considered a remedy, pharmaceutical auxiliary substance, medicine, dietary supplement, medical preparation, or food in the European Union. It is listed in the FiBL Input List (Organic Inputs) 2011 and has EU approval as feed additive 1g568. Zeolite has received a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) evaluation from the FDA US Food and Drug Administration. However, this is irrelevant for the EU.

Definition: Bentonite is a natural clay with a large proportion of Montmorillonite, a water-containing aluminum silicate of natural origin, in which certain aluminum and silicon atoms can be replaced by other atoms such as magnesium and iron (Bentonite monograph, PhEur).
- Effects: adsorbing, swelling with water, therefore it needs some time to swell.
- Indications: Externally in powder form,
- Internally similar to activated charcoal as an old household remedy in the gastrointestinal tract. It stabilizes the mucus film on the mucous membrane in the digestive tract and adsorbs disease-causing substances and germs.
According to the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia, Monograph Bentonite, it is tested on a batch-related basis for identity, purity, and function-related properties. It meets all required standards, such as for heavy metals, fineness of grinding, swelling volume, and microbiology.
