The natural Zeolite structure binds mycotoxins to its surface and ionically buffers the digestive tract. Due to the surface cation exchange capacity (CEC), the Zeolite surface is polar and attracts the complex and polar mycotoxin molecules.
The internal CEC binds positively charged ions such as the ammonium cation. When excess ammonia builds up in the digestive tract, Zeolite exchanges ion, thereby reducing the toxic effects of excess ammonia.
