How Does Bentonite Clay Work As An Internal Cleanser?
Bentonite clay works by absorbing water and swelling up. As it swells, it is stretched and spread out which increases its surface area which acts like a highly porous sponge. Toxins are attracted into the clay through electrical attraction and are bound with the clay. In fact, according to the Canadian Journal of Microbiology (2), bentonite clay can reportedly absorb pathogenic viruses, as well as herbicides and pesticides. The bentonite and the toxins are then eliminated from the body as waste by way of a bowel movement.
