What is Bentonite Clay?

Bentonite clay is an amazing substance! It’s actually formed from a crystal , known as Montmorillonite. The unique property of bentonite clay is that it has a strong negative charge. The negative ions present in bentonite clay will be magnetically attracted to the positively charged ions in the body, such as toxins, heavy metals, acids and other unwanted substances. This is why bentonite clay is a powerful detox tool.

What is the Best Bentonite Clay to Use?

Believe it or not, not all the bentonite clays available in the market are equal. The 2 commonly available varieties of bentonite clay include: sodium bentonite clay and calcium bentonite clay. It really doesn’t matter what variety you choose.

What matters is the extraction process used for harvesting the clay. Knowledgeable companies will use stainless steel and other coated tools to mine the clay. Using metal tools for mining would render the clay completely useless because all the negative charge in the clay would be neutralized by the positive charge in metals.

This is the brand I recommend based on their quality of clay: Aztec Secret Indian Healing Bentonite Clay, 1 pound jar
