AB – BACKGROUND: Zeolites are crystalline compounds with microporous structures of
Si-tetrahedrons. In the gut, these silicates could act as adsorbents,
ion-exchangers, catalysts, detergents or anti-diarrheic agents. This study evaluated
whether zeolite supplementation affects biomarkers of intestinal wall permeability
and parameters of oxidation and inflammation in aerobically trained individuals, and
whether it could improve their performance. METHODS: In a randomized,
double-blinded, placebo controlled trial, 52 endurance trained men and women,
similar in body fat, non-smokers, 20-50 years, received 1.85 g of zeolite per day
for 12 weeks. Stool samples for determination of intestinal wall integrity
biomarkers were collected. From blood, markers of redox biology, inflammation, and
DNA damage were determined at the beginning and the end of the study. In addition,
VO2max and maximum performance were evaluated at baseline and after 12 weeks of
treatment. For statistical analyses a 2-factor ANOVA was used. RESULTS: At baseline
both groups showed slightly increased stool zonulin concentrations above normal.
After 12 weeks with zeolite zonulin was significantly (p < 0.05) decreased in the
supplemented group. IL-10 increased tendentially (p < 0.1) in the zeolite group.
There were no significant changes observed in the other measured parameters.
CONCLUSIONS: Twelve weeks of zeolite supplementation exerted beneficial effects on
intestinal wall integrity as indicated via decreased concentrations of the tight
junction modulator zonulin. This was accompanied by mild anti-inflammatory effects
in this cohort of aerobically trained subjects. Further research is needed to
explore mechanistic explanations for the observations in this study.
