Iodine & Zeolite

by Brenda

Hi There

I've recently learnt about iodine deficiency and over the past couple of years have read and used Zeolite.

Now I'm beginning to wonder if Zeolite IS ACTUALLY iodine just packaged under a different name, perhaps to avoid attracting unwanted attention by authorities?

RESPONSE

Iodine is an element and is listed in the periodic table as a member of Group 17, and is considered a halogen.

Zeolite is created from molten lava scientifically called clinoptilotite.

Neither are related as far as I can tell. Iodine is an element and zeolite comes from lava - two different creatures.

Thanks for taking the time to pose this thought.
