Hi,
I plan on getting the clay for allergies, sinus and candida.
Is there anything in the clay other than clay? That I could be possibly allergic to?

Marc, Redmond Clay is 100% natural — we don’t add anything, we don’t take anything away. As such, unless you have a reaction to trace minerals, you should be in good shape. Here is a link to a mineral analysis of Redmond Clay, so you can see which elements come together to make Redmond Clay what it is.
Hi! Just wondering if anyone has success stories using Redmond clay for allergies, sinuses and candida?
Some people say you should take calcium bentonite clay. Like Terramin clay. Redmond clay is sodium bentonite clay. What is your opinion about that?
Frank, sorry to make you wait for an answer!
We’re putting together a blog post that talks about the idea you mentioned, but in the mean time, consider the ancient civilizations who relied on clay on clay for their health. They may have lived near calcium-rich clay, or sodium-rich clay, or magnesium-rich clay, but they each used and benefited from clay. We’re working on a more complete post for you and others who have wondered the same thing. Thanks for the question!
I too want to know the difference between the sodium and calcium clay.
Also, I have been using Redmond Clay for my dogs.
Hi Teri. Have you read this blog post about sodium and calcium in Redmond Clay? Hope it answers your question!
Once you have mixed the clay with water, do you drink the entire glass of water or only a few teaspoons of it?
How long will the pre-mixed jar keep? Do you just keep it on-hand in the refridgerator?
Thanks!
Leigh, it’s a matter of personal preference. Take a few minutes to watch this video explaining how people use Redmond Clay internally — hopefully it will help you out!
Can clay be used in smoothies?
Julene, we use Redmond Clay in our smoothies all the time! It’s a great way to get it in your diet.
I noticed in the analysis that there is aluminum, fluoride, tin,thallium in the clay. these things are toxins so why would taking these be “good” for you? the ppm of most of these is substantial as well imo.
Cheryl, so sorry we missed this comment! We posted a summary about aluminum in bentonite clay that might be useful to you. Thanks for your question, and again, sorry we left it in the queue so long!
HI Guys. Is there any problem to mix this clay with zeolites? If you wanted to use both in a synergistic fashion?
Jake, we can’t think of any reason that would be a problem. We like synergy!
Any comments on taking Redmond Clay internally when a woman is pregnant or nursing?
Thanks!
Colleen, we know a lot of women who are big fans of Redmond Clay during pregnancy and nursing. It’s a great way to supplement your minerals!
I suffer from acid reflux, but am also interested in the toxins being cleaned out. Do I need to take both types of capsules, or would one work better to do those two things?
Terry, you only need to use one variety. We created multiple labels to make it easier for retailers, but the capsules are all the same amazing Redmond Clay!
Where can I find an analysis of this clay, so I know the ingredients? I couldn’t find it on your website.
Sorry you couldn’t find it, Diane. Here’s a link.
My baby has problems with her stomach. Would it be alright to give her a very small dose of clay to help calm her tummy?
We’ve done so with our kids, Katherine. You probably want to mix clay water (here’s a video explaining how) and put a bit in her bottle.
I am curious about the aluminum content and possible toxicity? There is information that the body will not absorb the metal as another ingredient in the clay somehow binds to it rendering absorption impossible (or something to that effect). I wondered if there is any scientific research to back these claims?
In reading and researching, I also came across a recipe for toothpaste. I will be testing Earthpaste, but the recipe specifically called for the calcium bentonite variety. Is there a difference that you are aware in the efficacy of remineralization between the two?
Thank you.
We put together a post summarizing the question about aluminum in bentonite clay, including links to more reading, if you’d like. You might also read about the sodium/calcium distinction for your Earthpaste question.
Hope the information is helpful!
Can you tell me if you can get any lead poisoning from drinking clay?
Only if you add your own lead, Katie!
Clay is actually used by many heavy metal treatment programs.
Do you happen to know the pH level of Redmond Clay?
Thank you.
Hi,
Redmond Clay has a pH of between 8.7 and 9.
Can redmond clay be helpful as a bile sequestrant? How many capsules
would you recommend? Could it cause constipation like colestid?
Hi Debbie,
Thanks for your great question. Redmond Clay has a pH of 8.7 to 9, therefore, it works well to neutralize acids in the body and might possibly help with your bile issue. We sell the clay encapsulated for convenience sake. We also sell it in a lose powder form. To prevent possible constipation when using the clay, we suggest drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Also, some of our customers are adding a bit of fiber, such as psyllium husk to their hydrated clay.
Have a great day!
