Brief overview:
Sodium bentonite is a clay mineral, which is formed by weathering from volcanic ash. It is also made commercially. [F1]
Uses and Benefits:
- Sodium bentonite is used for eliminating heavy metals from the body.
- The clay mineral has a large negatively charged surface area, giving this material an unusually high absorption capacity for harmful substances and thus absorbs them in the organism. [F1]
When do we need it?
- Bentonite binds toxics from the digestive system so they can not be stored in the body.
- This clay mineral absorbs toxic substance before they can enter the bloodstream.
- The excretory organs of the body, such as the liver and kidneys, are supported in their own detoxification activities with bentonite. [F1]
Synergies:
Chlorella is synergistic with Bentonite clay in that it positively influences the detoxifying effect. [F2]
