What is Lithovit®?

Zeovita has made it its corporate objective to pursue the optimum utilization of natural raw materials and their active ingredients by means of tribodynamic activation (TDA), to the benefi of humans, animals and plants.

In TDA process technology, solid materials are accelerated to a speed of more than 20,000 revolutions per minute, i.e. several times the speed of sound, in a unique type of tribodynamic micromill equipped with a number of concentric rings of impact elements. This leads to the particles colliding with each other in rapid succession, and thereby repeatedly shattering each other until they are broken down to a very small size. Due to the high
levels of energy involved, these collisions also lead to significant changes in the shape and form of the particles, breaking open the crystal lattices on the surfaces of the grains and modifying the lattice structures of the layers of material immediately below them.

After having been micronized down to nano sizes in this way, and at the same time activated and electrostatically charged, the substances demonstrate new and surprising properties that cannot be achieved by traditional milling processes, e.g. an enhancement of their reactivity and ion-exchange capacity. These and other specific effects open up a multitude of new possible applications in agriculture, in the food, beverage and tobacco industries and in the fi elds of cosmetics, health and medicine.

The latest innovation in the field of TDA, the Lithovit® series of products here presented (utility model registered with the German Patent and Trade Mark Office), is the fi rst natural CO2 foliar fertilizer for outdoor use in the world that can be applied in agricultureand forestry, in fruit-growing and vegetable cultivation, in the garden and in the home.
