Ingredients
Not all products have all of these ingredients. Please check each product for specifics on which of these ingredients are included.
Zeolite*
 |
Zeolite is composed of a unique group of minerals with a
naturally-occurring negative charge, organized in a honeycombed
matrix. This gives Zeolite the ability to attract and trap into
the cage like structure, heavy metals and toxins. Zeolite is
formed from ash deposits originating from ancient volcanic
eruptions into neighboring seas and lakes. Zeolite first entered the public’s attention when it was baked into bread and cookies in Russia following the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant disaster.
|
| It was also added to dairy cow feed to bind to contaminants
such as Strontium and Plutonium. There are many types of Zeolite. The type meant for human consumption is called Clinoptilolite. Animal Element has an exclusive distribution deal with the purest source of Clinoptilolite in the world. This source is 95% pure. Typical purity from other mines in the United States is between 55% and 80%. Zeolite Myths There is a lot of misinformation about Zeolite. One popular company talks about a proprietary "cleaning" process that is used. This is because they are sourcing their Zeolite from a mine with lower purity ratings. Another company lists their Zeolite as Organic. There is no such thing as Organic Zeolite. Organic designations are regulated by the USDA and does not include minerals like Zeolite but it does sound fancy! Don't let other companies fool you, irregardless of the
source. Zeolite is not an expensive ingredient but it is very
effective. |
Organic Kelp*
 |
Kelp is an amazing plant. Our organic Kelp contains over 60
minerals, 17 complex amino acids and a vitamin complex. Most
important for detoxification is its Sodium Alginate content. Sodium Alginate may help prevent the absorption of toxic metals like mercury, cadmium and plutonium. "The alginates have been shown to bind tightly to strontium, barium, cadmium and radium so that these toxins pass out of the body with little or no absorption. It also binds with lead, but not as completely." |
| Reduction in the absorption of strontium has been noted in children given an alginate derivative. Retention of radioactive barium has been reduced in rats fed sodium alginate derivatives. In one human trial, 10 grams of sodium alginate ameliorated acute radiation effects due to exposure to radiation doses of 50 to 3,000 rads.”1 |
Organic Turmeric*
 |
Curcumin, a constituent of Turmeric and a spice used in
Indian curry dishes, is an effective antioxidant and is known to
induce the enzymes of glutathione-linked detoxification pathways
in rats. Some consider the natural glutathione pathway to be the safest way to detoxify. It is generally accepted that ingesting glutathione has little effect. There is evidence that Turmeric's active ingredient, curcumin, may increase glutathione in-vivo, supporting this natural detoxification pathway. |
Diatomaceous Earth*
 |
Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.) is the fossilized remains of hard
shelled, one celled plants called Diatoms. There is evidence to
show that D.E. can control parasites.

It does this through a purely physical means. It's sharp edges
cut and subsequently dehydrate parasites. Parasites also tend to scavage heavy metals and toxins, which is good, but when they die those toxins can be released. This is why we've included Kelp and Zeolite. |
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane 99%+ pure)*
 |
While MSM is well known as a supplement for joint health, it
is also useful for detoxification. MSM makes the cell walls more
elastic, allowing easier exchange through the cell wall. This is
important for intra-cellular toxins that might otherwise be
difficult to remove. |
Organic Hawthorn*
 |
Toxins have a tendency to get embedded in deep tissue where
substantial blood may not always easily reach.
2
3 Hawthorn acts as a vasodilator, increasing blood supply to the heat and
improving circulation to the extremeities. The main
phytochemical that is of interest in Hawthorn is Vitexin. We
test and source Hawthorn with the highest standardized levels of
Vitexin possible. |
Organic Red Raspberry*
 |
The most common use of Red Raspberry leaf is for hormonal
support for mares. The main phytochemical of interest to us in
Red Raspberry Leaf is Ellagic Acid. The antiproliferative properties of ellagic acid are due to its ability to directly inhibit the DNA binding of certain carcinogens, including nitrosamines 56 and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.7 As with other polyphenol antioxidants, ellagic acid has a chemoprotective effect in cellular models by reducing oxidative stress.8 |
Hyaluronic Acid*
 |
Hyaluronic Acid (also called Hyaluronan) is an important
component of articular cartilage. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a component of connective tissue whose function is to cushion and lubricate. Many biological factors, such as growth factors, cytokines, and eicosanoids and so on, are generated in the inflammation process. These factors are necessary for the subsequent steps of wound healing due to their roles in promoting migration of inflammatory cells, fibroblasts and endothelial cells into the wound site. The wound tissue in the early inflammatory phase of wound repair is abounding with HA, probably a reflection of increased synthesis. HA acts as a promoter of early inflammation, which is crucial in the whole skin wound healing process. |
