What is montmorillonite bentonite?
Bentonite is a volcanic mineral formed by the weathering of volcanic ash and is known for its special detoxifying properties. As a natural medicinal product, BentonitMED can help bind toxins in the body and eliminate them naturally. The special advantage of this mineral: Upon contact with water, it forms a protective gel film that can be particularly gentle on sensitive gastrointestinal mucosa.
What is montmorillonite bentonite?
Montmorillonite is the main component of bentonite and belongs to the group of phyllosilicates. It is named after the French region of Montmorillon, where it was first discovered. While conventional bentonite contains 60-80% montmorillonite, our BentonitMED contains more than 95% montmorillonite, which significantly increases its effectiveness.
The fine, gray to white powder is characterized by its remarkable swelling capacity—it can absorb six to seven times its dry mass in liquid. This property can have positive effects on intestinal health.
How can bentonite work in the body?
The layered structure and negative electrical charge of the bentonite particles enable the mineral to bind positively charged pollutants such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and aluminum through selective ion exchange and adsorption. The bound pollutants can then be excreted naturally through the intestines.
Particularly important: When ingested, bentonite forms a protective gel film in the gastrointestinal tract, making the mineral particularly suitable for people with sensitive stomachs or intestines. This gel film can gently coat the mucous membranes, thus reducing the effects of pathogenic factors and soothing nerve endings and mucous membranes.

Frequently asked questions about bentonite
What can bentonite be used for?
Bentonite can be used to support the body's detoxification process. It can help bind harmful substances such as heavy metals and naturally eliminate them from the body. Additionally, its protective gel film can have a soothing effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa.
How is BentonitMED used?
The powder can simply be stirred into a glass of water (approx. 250 ml) and consumed with a meal. When stirring the fine bentonite powder into water, it may be helpful to use a whisk, mixer, or whisk. Please follow the exact instructions on the label for use.
How long can BentonitMED be used?
The medication can be used for up to 12 weeks. If taken repeatedly, a break of at least one week should be observed.
Why is bentonite considered a “gentle detoxifier”?
When ingested, bentonite forms a thin, protective montmorillonite gel film. This gently coats the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines, reducing the effectiveness of the substance against pathogens. Bentonite is therefore particularly suitable for detoxification in sensitive mucous membranes of the digestive tract.
Can bentonite be combined with other products?
Yes, bentonite can be combined with zeolite , which combines the detoxifying properties of both minerals. You can find this combination in our ZeoBent . If you are taking medication, a gap of at least two hours should be observed.
Are there any side effects when taking bentonite?
In rare cases, constipation may occur due to insufficient fluid intake. This effect is dose-dependent and can be avoided by adequate fluid intake and a dose reduction. If constipation occurs, increase fluid intake, reduce the dosage, and consult a physician if necessary.
Who is bentonite particularly suitable for?
Bentonite is particularly suitable as an initial detoxification treatment or for gastrointestinal problems. Its protective gel film makes it milder and can have a particularly gentle effect on mucous membranes.
How does bentonite differ from zeolite?
Both minerals can contribute to detoxification, but they have different structures. While zeolite has a crystalline structure with many cavities, bentonite has a layered structure and the special property of forming a protective gel film. For comprehensive detoxification, the combination of both minerals in ZeoBent can be beneficial.
