It has been established in vitro and in vivo that hydrated bentonite adsorbs toxins, bacteria and viruses. By virtue of its physical action, bentonite serves as an absorbent aid in detoxification of the intestinal canal. Because bentonite is not itself absorbed, whatever it adsorbsis removed in the faeces. This includes miscellaneous intestinal poisons, toxins generated by Candida (especially during a cleansing program) and the Candida itself.
