From what I have read, the bentonite and zeolite does remove some
minerals and metals from food being digested but the amount is too small
to be significant. However, I do take a vitiman/mineral supplement and
humic acid. Much of the available, and I think credible, information on
zeolite has to do with using zeolite in animal feed.
There are numerous studies of the effects of zeolite on farm animals
where zeolite has been added to animal feed and supports zeolite as
providing a general and significant improvement in animal health. I
think a good overview of this is provided in patent # WO 2005032268
20061102
(http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/wo.jsp?wo=2005032268&IA=WO2005032268&DISPL
AY=CLAIMS).
It is common practice to add substances to animal feed to improve the
digestibility of the feed, give them antibiotics to improve animal
health and hormones to increase growth rates. The patent documents the
results of a study where hormones, antibiotics and digestive aids were
replaced by zeolite and humic acid being fed to farm animals. The
results are compared against animals that were fed the normal hormones,
antibiotics and digestive aids. The humic acid replaced the digestive
aids and the zeolite replaced the antibiotics. The results are
impressive. In all cases animal growth rates of the zeolite/humic acid
fed animals matched or exceeded the growth rates of the animals fed
hormones, antibiotics and digestive aids. Some other benefits:
Poultry: death rates reduced by 79%, egg size increased 60% and egg
breakage reduced by 33%.
Piglets: death rates reduced by 75% and increased litter sizes by sows.
Fish: death rates reduced by 50% and unit weight increased by 23%.
The odor of liquid and solid animal waste was significantly reduced.
I think that the significant improvement in health and size in animals
fed zeolite support the claims that using bentonite and zeolite
regularly does not cause a significant loss of nutrients.

Steve,
That is interesting but I wonder if the bentonite/zeolite mixture
might block the absorption of some nutrients through the intestinal
wall.
Not a concern if using only occasionally but long term it might be.
