G-PUR® Purified Clinoptilolite is a patented form of a type of zeolite. G-Pur is refined to remove natural impurities. Zeolites are derived from volcanic ash. These crystalline substances have porous structures. The pores in these mineral substances form negatively charged channels and cavities; as such, zeolites act as an ion exchanger and selective adsorbent. In other words, zeolites function as a molecular sieve, which helps filter toxins from the GI tract. G-PUR contains a zeolite called clinoptilolite, whose molecular structure is arranged in a way that they form large amounts of pore space in the crystals. The clinoptilolite subset of zeolites are also known for being stable in acids. These features make clinoptilolites potentially of great use in the elimination of toxic agents.
Apple Pectin (Pyrus malus) and Okra Extract (Abelmoschus esculentus) are both natural sources of pectin. Pectins are soluble fiber polysaccharides and they bind substances in the intestines, as well as add bulk to stools. Okra polysaccharides demonstrate a variety of biological activities potentially helpful in human health such as antioxidant support, immunomodulation, hypoglycemic activity, and improving intestinal function. Okra is a rich source of vitamins and carbohydrates. In Chinese medicine, okra flowers are used for the treatment of kidney diseases like chronic kidney disease, chronic glomerulonephritis, membranous nephropathy, and diabetic nephropathy. Okra polyphenols demonstrate antioxidant activity increasing superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. Apple pectin has been found in animal studies to modulate gut microbiota, preserve gut barrier function, and alleviate metabolic endotoxemia and inflammation.
Activated Carbon Charcoal – Activated charcoal acts within the gastrointestinal tract to capture toxins in the digestive tract for excretion in the stool. It does not interfere with iron or electrolytes like magnesium or potassium.
Bentonite Clay – This natural clay is composed of montmorillonite along with other associated minerals like quartz, calcite, and feldspar. It possesses a large surface area which allows this clay to help bind toxins, along with its ability to form gels with water and to absorb large quantities of gas.
Solnul® is a resistant starch derived from potatoes (Solanum tuberosum). Resistant starch has been studied for its benefits to support endogenous good gut bacteria like Bifidobacterium and indirectly enhances other good bacteria like Akkermansia. Resistant starches also support colonic detoxification by promoting ammonia detoxification in the colon.
Humic/Fulvic Acid Mineral Blend (52/28) – Fulvic acid is found in high amounts in a tar-like substance called shilajit, from Himalayan mountain rocks. Shilajit has been used in traditional medicine in India and Nepal for thousands of years, where it is prized for its rejuvenating and anti-aging properties. Fulvic acid has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.x Humic acid may promote healthy colonic microbiome, increasing concentrations of preexisting colonic microbiota.
