Traditional Background

Bentonite is a naturally occurring mineral clay formed from volcanic ash. It has been traditionally used by cultures around the world as both an internal and external cleansing agent.

Its unique ability to bind and carry away unwanted substances has made it a long-standing component of detox programs, digestive cleansing practices, and topical skin applications.

Active Constituents

Montmorillonite Minerals:
Bentonite is rich in montmorillonite, a mineral with a natural negative charge that attracts positively charged particles such as toxins and metabolic by-products.

High Surface Area:
Its layered structure provides a very large surface area, giving it strong adsorptive (binding) capacity within the digestive tract.

Trace Minerals:
Contains naturally occurring trace minerals including calcium, magnesium, and silica that contribute to overall mineral balance.

Traditional Uses

Digestive & Detox Support:
Traditionally used to bind substances in the gut, support bowel regularity, and assist natural elimination processes during cleansing protocols.

Bloating & Gas Comfort:
Often used to help reduce digestive discomfort by binding gas-forming compounds within the gastrointestinal tract.

Internal Cleansing:
A common inclusion in short-term detox programs, supporting removal of unwanted materials from the digestive system.

Skin & Topical Use:
Widely used in face masks, poultices, and baths to help draw impurities from the skin and support clearer, healthier-looking skin.

Bentonite should always be taken with adequate water. Due to its strong binding action, it is recommended to separate it from medications, supplements, and nutrients by several hours.
