Bentonite Clay 200g

This pack is ideal for using with a water buffet, or as a smaller taster sample pack.

Water buffets are becoming more common as a creative way to encourage horses to drink more, and offer additional paddock enrichment, particularly for horses on track systems. Alongside their normal source of water, a selection of flavoured waters offer variety, interest and behavioural and well-being benefits.

Bentonite is obtained from volcanic ash and is a soft clay that is said to host a wide range of nutrients including calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and silica but its superpower is its ability to absorb and clarify. 

When clay is ingested, it travels through the body looking for bad guys—toxins, impurities, or pathogens—to bind to. Clay particles are like magnets. They have a negatively charged surface, while most toxins and impurities carry a positive charge.

Absorption

Bentonite, particularly sodium bentonite, is a swelling clay. It excels at absorbing because of it's many microsopic plates with large surface areas that adhere together when wet. When used externally—such as in a horse poultice, wound cream, or hoof pack—it effectively draws out excess fluid, infection, bacteria, toxins, and contaminants. It also improves circulation to the area, increasing blood flow and oxygen to cells and speeding up healing.

Because of its fine particle size and negatively charged ions, bentonite also has the uncanny ability to bind to and eliminate heavy metals, damaging toxins and pollutants inside the body. (For example, those unwanted and often undetected aflatoxins and mycotoxins hiding in horse feed.)

Internal Uses and Benefits

When bentonite is ingested internally, it can:

• Treat digestive disorders and diarrhea
• Improve gut flora activity
• Increase nutrient absorption
• Boost immune response
• Improve renal health and kidney function
• Regulate thyroid health
• Act as a natural antibiotic for some harmful bacteria strains
• Reduce the bioavailability of aflatoxins and mycotoxins
• Reduce metal poisoning

Feed 1 to 2 heaped teaspoons daily, mixed with water to make a paste and added to feed.

Also a great option to add to a water buffet
