Research: Natural Cellular Defense

Natural Cellular Defense ®  (NCD) is a  colloidal  suspension of activated zeolite produced by Wellness Industries, Inc. and marketed and distributed by Waiora, Inc. NCD contains primarily clinoptilolite as the constituent zeolite, a naturally-occurring Sodium aluminosilicate. This product is classified as a dietary supplement under US-FDA guidelines. The following report will outline the history of use and safety of the zeolite, clinoptilolite, in both animals and humans. It will also include published data on the ingredient as well as unpublished clinical data on the NCD itself. Read the entire white paper here NCD Report.
