Is this sodium bentonite OR calcium bentonite?

It has both according to the Yerba website - yerba.com/bentproc.aspAnd third, Great Plains Bentonite has the optimum ratio of sodium to calcium ions to give it maximum ability to swell, adsorb and hold toxins.

doesn't say, but it does say on the bottle that," Bentonite is a mineral source dietary supplement that traps and binds unwanted,non-nutritive substances such as herbacides and other potentially harmful substances. Bentonite's mechanism of action is physical, due to its colloidal structure and charged particles. Great Plains is a unique naturally occurring bentonite with the proper mineral composition for maximum composition for maximum ability to remove unwanted substances." that is off the bottle. I also use a bentonite powder, mixed with apple cidar vinegar, to create a cleansing mask for my face. I have also used it on the bottoms of my feet (the powered kind mixed with the liquid) to detox as well. The manufacturers are good about telling you which one is for internal and which one for external, so no worries there. I get great results from this....I usually mix in a tsp of psyllium as well...really cleans house! hope this helps you. Dr. Laura :)

It looks to be crystalline silica, like normal sand grains. Just very well sorted, and cleaner than normal play sand silica grains.

The label says it contains sodium sulfate, a mineral based processing agent.

I am trying to find out if this can be taken internally? Is this also sodium bentonite?

The ingredient I saw was sodium silico aluminate. Does this answer the question?

The label does not say. It simply says "proprietary blend , Sodium Bicarbonate, Potassium Bicarbonate, Magnesium Chloride, and Calcium Chloride, 4.93 g. " It does not break that down. Sodium is listed first so I assume that is the largest part of it. Maybe the manufacturer could provide more information.

The label on the container does not indicate any zeolite, just plain calcium bentonite clay.

Sulfate free, but it contains sodium. It's the next ingredient after water.

There is no sodium listed on the label. 1,300 mg calcium, 440 mg phosphorus, 15 mg magnesium. Other ingredients: none. Hope that helps.

It can't say because I haven't seen yours, but I ordered the same french green clay, and it is exactly like the green clay I've bought from other places. A little more unrefined, but effective regardless of consistentcy. It feels, smells and looks like green clay. Once it's wet it changes it's hue. My bentonite is a different texture, smell and color altogether.

This product is Sodium Bentonite. As to which (Sodium vs Calcium) is better to take internally, I cannot find a clear answer anywhere. Until your question, I hadn't realized there were two types. Perhaps this could explain the difference between this product and the first bentonite product I used. I did read that calcium bentonite is supposedly a larger module, thus a more surface area and a greater ability to attract toxins.

Contains calcium, phosphorus and magnesium from bone meal. They guarantee that it contains nothing other than what is on the label and these are the only items on the label. Sodium is not on the label.

All Bentonite clay has less than 1mg of lead in it, so "technically" to needs to have the prop 65 label. Most tap water has more and is more harmful to you. Bentonite clay comes from volcanoes. Very healthful. It even kills some viruses like E. Coli and MRSA.
