What is Bentonite?
Bentonite is a highly absorbent
clay-like substance that helps to lift
impacted waste matter which has
accumulated on the walls of the
gastrointestinal tract. It is usually
used in colon cleansing programs and
with enema therapy. It should be used
under the direction of a health care
practitioner.
Bentonite History & General Information
Bentonite Geology A material composed
of clay minerals, predominantly
montmorillonite with minor amounts of
other smectite group minerals, commonly
used in drilling mud. Bentonite swells
considerably when exposed to water,
making it ideal for protecting
formations from invasion by drilling
fluids. Montmorillonite forms when basic
rocks such as volcanic ash in marine
basins are altered.
