Bentonite Clay is actually volcanic ash that has been compressed by the seabed over time. Due to it's high colloidal value, it is commonly used it for absorbing toxins (like a sponge with holes that draw in toxins). It is therefore very effective at drawing toxins from the body, both internally and externally. As bentonite is effective in attracting heavy metals, it is extremely important to ensure Bentonite is sourced from a reputable supplier.
