Edible Kaolin Clay is a #325 mesh ultra fine clay powder. This finer mesh is more easily dispersed for maximum internal detoxification.
Kaolin Clay binding abilities lie in the fact that, its molecules are negatively charged. So as it passes through the intestinal tract it attracts the toxins, which are positively charged. When they are in contact with each other, the two swap ions and are bound together. The toxic molecule is then absorbed by the clay molecule. The toxin molecules that are bonded with the clay molecules are internalized in the clay molecule. In this state, your body can expel the toxin-filled clay in normal bowel movements.
How Kaolin Clay Works
The absorptive abilities come from the low number of minerals that comprise it — only 17 minerals. This low number indicates a higher potential to absorb other molecules.
