Natural Cellular Defense (NCD) Overview (White Paper)
3 min readIntroduction: Natural Cellular Defense® (NCD) is a colloidal suspension of activated zeolite produced, 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.
This monograph will outline the following:
- The history of use and safety of clinoptilolite in animals and humans
- Published clinical data on clinoptilolite
- The history of use and safety of clinoptilolite after nuclear disaster
- The micronization and activation process for NCD
- Quality assurance / product analysis
- Clinical Trials
- Clinoptilolite health benefits
