Where can I buy Zeolite?

QUESTION:
I have used all natural Zeolite Powder by the Dasun Company (also their zeolite bags) for many years. They are now out of business. Does anyone know where I can find these? Thank you.

ANSWER:
Zeolite is still alive and well and available to use as an adsorbant to remove chemicals, metals, and even radioactive materials from the air. I wrote all about it on page 130 of my book Home Safe Home. If you want to learn more about zeolite, check out this website: The Zeolite Group of Minerals.

To purchase zeolite powder for odor control, visit these websites: Bramton Company Zeolite Odor Removing Granules and Bear River Zeolite.

While searching for these links, I noticed that zeolite is now being sold for body detoxification. I have no experience using this, but it makes sense to me that if it adsorbs pollutants from the air, it would also adsorb them from the body. I saw lots of "liquid zeolite" being sold for this purpose as well as powder. Liquid zeolite does not make sense to me, as it is the adsorbant ability of the mineral itself that does the adsorbing, a liquid just mechanically wouldn't do that as far as I can see.
