Both have an extraordinary ability to bind toxins, heavy metals and other harmful substances and remove them from the body. This reduces the burden on the liver, as it has to break down fewer harmful substances.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"80\" data-end=\"427\"><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"429\" data-end=\"456\"><strong data-start=\"434\" data-end=\"454\">What is zeolite?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"457\" data-end=\"713\">Zeolite is a volcanic mineral with a highly porous structure that acts like a sponge.
