Hi, I have just been introduced to a mineral called Zeonite. There are
many referrences on the Internet that claim this mineral has many
uses, that the chrystal is "negatively charged" and, therefore
captures and elliminates "positively charged" odors, toxins in the
body and improves ph in the body. My question is how much of these
claims are verified scientifically or is this another snake oil and is
there a good source of the raw material being mined in Canada. Also
like to know which form of Zeonite is most effective if any of them
are.
Thanks, Albertr

Please note I am asking about Zeolite not Zeonite. I am most
interested in agricultural applications IE: using Zeolite on pig farms
to reduce odors. Also interested in a Canadian source.

Perhaps you are referring to zeolite, a useful mineral for which many
grandiose and unproven health claims have been made.

You're right, either I typed it wrong twice or Google corrected me. I meant Zeolite

A major Canadian source of zeolite products is National Silicates:

Regarding the odor control on a pig farm, this may be of interest:
