Powdered zeolites are used as a desiccant in the lids of drug containers to keep the drug dry. Non-fibrous synthetic zeolites have no known toxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, teratogenicity, or hormone-like effects. This makes them a safe and sustainable material for the many applications showcased on the EUZEPA homepage.

Applications of Powdered Zeolites

Most of these applications have indirect beneficial effects on human and animal health through their positive environmental impact. For example, catalysts can reduce air pollution and powdered zeolites can be used to remove pollutants from wastewater.

A more direct impact on our health is the use of natural zeolite powder as a desiccant in the lids of pharmaceutical containers to keep drugs dry or as a component of dental adhesive powders.

As a primary principle of action in health-related treatments, powdered zeolites are used as feed additives to reduce the risk of cow’s milk fever. In humans, powdered zeolites are used for the detoxification of heavy metals, including radioactive isotopes, or as a hemostatic aid. Due to its strictly physical mode of action, zeolite is not considered an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in these applications.

The medical potential of synthetic zeolites has not been exploited to any great extent, although the use of powdered zeolites as API carriers has been published in the life science literature.
