What Are the Benefits of Bentonite Clay?
Bentonite is a clay derived from volcanic ash that is composed of montmorillonite and smectite minerals. Bentonite clay comes in two commercial varieties: calcium bentonite and sodium bentonite. Sodium bentonite has absorbent properties and swells when it comes in contact with water. Calcium bentonite does not expand when liquid is added. Both types work as an effective binding agent.
