Bentonite is absorbent phyllosilicate clay. It's named after Fort Benton in Wyoming where the largest sources are found. It's also known as Montmorillonite clay after the region of France called Montmorillon where it was first found.
It's possible to consume Bentonite clay, although there are no dosage guidelines on the pack. Once ingested it can act as a detoxifying agent. This property is referred to its poly-cationic nature, which leads to the absorption of negatively charged toxins.
