Questions and Answers From Waiora HQ
Q: Will heat affect the zeolite in the NCD?
A: The zeolite is an extremely stable molecule that can withstand very high temperatures (over 900 degrees Fahrenheit). Hot days will not change the product or limit its efficacy. Additionally, the NCD can safely be added to hot foods or beverages without limiting its benefits.
Q: Will cold alter the product in any way?
A: The zeolite is completely stable at cold temperatures. If the product becomes frozen, simply defrost it and shake it lightly before using to insure a uniform suspension of the zeolite.
Q: Why does the NCD sometimes look, taste or smell differently?
A: The zeolite in the Natural Cellular Defense is an all-natural mined product. As such, there will be some variability as to its excess mineral content (i.e. magnesium, sodium, potassium, etc.). Although these are very slight variations, they can cause great differences in the taste, smell and color of the product. Additionally, some minerals may darken in solution (i.e. iron). Because of this, some of the NCD may have a brownish tint.
Q: If there are different amounts of minerals in the product, can it be dangerous?
A: No. The variations in the excess mineral content are negligible and cannot be considered as a source of the mineral. For example, a recent sample of the product contained less than 1 microgram of iron. This was certainly enough iron to change the color of the product, but not enough to have any physiological effect.
Q: Is 1 microgram a lot of iron?
A: No. It's a negligible amount. As an example, one average bite of steak has approximately 500 micrograms of iron.
Q: Why are other mineral products consistent while the NCD may be different from one bottle to the next?
A: Most multi-mineral products use formulations of single, purified minerals. These are known quantities that may be entirely consistent. The NCD uses a natural, mined product that contains natural variations of its mineral content. While the amount of the zeolite is standardized and remains constant in the product, the excess minerals may change.
Q: Can the zeolite in the NCD lower potassium in the body?
A: No. The zeolite has a very specific reactivity series. Smaller atoms with higher positive charges have greater affinity for the zeolite. Heavy metals tend to be small and highly charged while the necessary minerals tend to be larger with lower charges. For example, arsenic has a charge of +3 and a diameter of 1.8 Angstroms. Potassium only has a charge of +1 and a comparatively large diameter of 2.8 Angstroms. Arsenic has high affinity for the zeolite while potassium has almost no affinity for the zeolite.
Q: Can the plastic from the bottle leech into the product?
A: No. We use a high-density bottle that is resistant to leeching and there are no components in the NCD that are known to degrade plastic.
