Bentonite attracts water to its negatively charged surface and holds it in place. This unique characteristic causes Bentonite to absorb 7 to 10 times its own weight in water. It can swell to 18 times its dry volume. Its molecular structure changes upon the addition of water, producing an electrical charge that toxins bind to. One quart of moistened Bentonite presents a surface area of nearly 1,000 square yards! For educational purposes only. The Food and Drug Administration has not evaluated this information.
