PURE CLAY Deep Mined Calcium Bentonite Clay Powder

Clay has been used for a very long time for a lot of ailments. While clay is a really safe way to deal with some health issues (such as diarrhea), it is really important to buy clay source from non-polluted locations. While I found several other brands that were much cheaper, once I did some research, I realized that they were either not labeled "food grade", came from a variety of places around the world (so there was no way to know what it was contaminated with, or came from places in the U.S. that were geographically close to areas used for nuclear testing. Since clay binds easily with radioactive materials, heavy metals, and even bacteria (hence it's ability to help the body flush out pathogens in the gut resulting from food poisoning), it is imperative that you know both where your clay comes from and that it's been tested for impurities. The reason I decided to try this white clay was that I noticed that one of the medications my gastroenterologist gave me for diarrhea attacks contained saccharomyces boulardii and white clay. The purpose of the clay is to absorb irritating chemicals or pathogens (in case there are any) and to absorb water, therefore making the stools more solid. Since I am prone to spontaneous diarrhea attacks as a part of my IBS-D, I had come to rely on that medication quite a bit. It was very effective, but then the company changed the formulation to include ingredients I couldn't ingest, in addition to some nasty artificial sweeteners. I decided to try this clay as a substitute, and it works like a charm! Luckily, I now get attacks very rarely, but when I do need it, I'm glad to say that this clay works. A little bit of clay (I use about a teaspoon) dissolved with a very small amount of water is effective at making liquid stool solid again. I am careful to use a plastic spoon to stir the clay in the water, because I read that the clay should avoid contact with metal. I'm not sure if that includes stainless steel, but I prefer not to take chances. My wife has also been using it to make a facial mask and it works great for that too. Her skin is really smooth and velvety afterwards, so double thumb up! Some people seem to use this as a daily "tonic". If you are noticing health benefits from doing so, then more power to you. However, I wouldn't advise this, because when you take something like clay or activated charcoal, they bind to both bad things and good things, which means that you may very well end up with nutritional deficiencies over time. Also, both good and bad bacteria can be eliminated, so over time you may actually decimate the good bacteria in your gut which makes room for pathogenic yeasts and bacteria to increase. I see this product as a "once in a while, as needed" thing, rather than an "every day" supplement. Update: Since my IBS-D has been in remission lately, I've not been using this clay in recent months. However, just recently, my mother was visiting and got a D attack (she has severe IBS-D). Her usual strategy is to stop eating for the rest of the day, but since I had this clay on hand in the back of my cupboard, I gave her a spoonful mixed with water and her attack stopped immediately - she was fine for the rest of the trip. This stuff works better than over the counter anti-diarrheals, and without any of the questionable "other" ingredients. Even though I no longer need to use this daily, I'm really glad to have it on hand for emergencies like that one. If you found this review helpful, please consider letting me know below

I began using this product both externally (as a face mask) and internally (2 oz. clay water daily mixed per instructions) after receiving a free sample in late January. I was surprised by the level of results and have since purchase the product and plan to continue daily consumption indefinitely. My oily skin immediately improved. I have since stopped wearing makeup and the appearance of my skin is markedly better. The real benefit of Pure Clay has been its effects on my digestive system. I have struggled since May 2011 with stomach troubles. I have spent many hours and dollars in doctors' offices from Tucson to Scripps in San Diego. Pure clay has finally brought me relief. I experienced a significant reduction in all my symptoms along with more energy and better sleep than I have had in three years. The stomach relief took several weeks to be noticeable and has gradually improved since then. I would recommend this product for both external and internal use to anybody

To start, I use this internally only. A couple years ago I read an article about drinking/eating clay and the benefits. At the time the clay I ordered sucked though, so I gave up on that. I recently saw another article about clays benefits and decided to try this brand. Wow, huge difference. Things to know: 1-This clay mixed way easier than other brands. It doesn't turn out chunky at all. I mix the clay with water with a spoon for 30 seconds and then chug it. There is very little residue in the bottom of the glass. 2-I suffer from constipation. I have since I've been 19 and I am 34 now. This stuff within a day has made it so I poop twice a day. And good poops too, not the "rabbit pellet" poops. 3-After eating my stomach would often bloat and feel super icky. This has helped that drastically. Also, if you start to have those issues, just drink some of this and it really helps calm that. The only thing I don't really like is this makes your poop feel extra slimy. Not sticky, but it feels like pooping out a slime tube. Besides that the experience has been great

I am an African American 28 year old female and have been suffering with acne for 3years now up until I purchase this clay mask. This has eradicated the breakouts and my face is smoother and healthier looking than ever. I mix it with Apple cider vinegar 1:1 ratio. I use it 3x a week. This regime works well for my skin and it doesn't dry it out. His was a miracle product

I have been using, Tierra Buena, calcium bentonite now for 7 days...that's right, only 7 days. And I have a nearly flat stomach. That's going from miserable bloating, for decades, to a nearly flat stomach. I actually can fit in my pants without them being uncomfortably tight and I have noticed my back and joints have stopped aching constantly. I cannot believe that I have finally found only one product that has helped me so much! If you have problems with constant bloating, diarrhea, sour stomach, (basically, ibs symptoms) this should be your go to. I have had severe problems with ibs-d my entire life. I have switched jobs over and over, then went to college and finished so I could work in an environment conducive to helping me mitigate my symptoms. I.e., sitting more and being able to use the restroom immediately when needed, ect. It's been a long long debilitating journey. In January, of this year, I was given the opportunity to work from home, which is really where I started the arduous process of once and for all trying to fix my ibs-d. I have had so many diet changes over the years, I knew another change in diet wasn't going to be enough (And I am fastidious when it comes to follow through). I had to find the magic bullet, if it existed...and I believe this is it. I know I sound like an infomercial but I'm very sincere when I write, this stuff really works. Yes it's dirt 😂...but it's magic dirt! I will be taking calcium bentonite for the rest of my life, if these are the results I can expect. Tierra Buena is the first calcium bentonite I have tried. I did what I always do when buying anything. I went on Amazon and read nearly every review, for several different products, "not calcium bentonite". One of the reviews I read was about calcium bentonite and how it was a must have, for internal use, when mitigating the symptoms of ibs. So I found the calcium bentonite with the highest reviews (on Amazon) that was graded for internal use...and that was Tierra Buena. After reading all the reviews, I went to their website for further review and based on the aggregate information, I, hesitantly, decided to try Tierra Buena. I am an ambivalent skeptic when it comes to most product claims; because I have wanted products to work and they have let me down. I promise that this clay works wonders. At least it did for me! And the clacium bentonite, from Tierra Buena, is a great product; it has hardly any flavor, goes down smooth and actually has a hint of sweetness after the mixture has been in the refrigerator blooming for a few days. I mixed per the directions, take 3-4 tablespoons per day, first thing in the morning, and I'm AMAZED at the difference it's made. I look forward to years of being able to praise Tierra Buena..."I never thought I would aver that about any product." But this product has "literally" changed my life in only 7 days. I sincerely hope it has a life long effect similar to the affect it's had on me in 7 short days. I also want to point out that Tammy, from Tierra Buena, sent me a stock/standard follow up email making sure everything was satisfactory, with my order, and the quality was as expected. I have a lot of respect for companies that have good/great customer service etiquette. I can comfortably attest that the quality is very high and my satisfaction is also very high. Everyone should feel confident when ordering, from Tierra Buena, knowing their order will be on time and of the highest quality

Oh, I have an idea! I am going to take 4-5 tablespoons of Pure Clay and make a smooth but not too thick paste - enough for light layer to spread over as much skin surface as I can reach. The next part is the challenge, as I am not the type to run around the house naked. I suppose I will have to confine myself to the bathroom, but that's okay because I can rearrange my medicine chest items, clean out a few other bathroom drawers, do the toilet and sink, fold some laundry, pour the bath. Before I know it, 15 or 20 minutes will have passed and I will then sink into a nice warm tub and luxuriate as the clay dissolves into the water. I'm dreaming of this now, as I write. Can you tell how much I love this stuff? As the name implies, it's Pure Clay. I don't see how it can get better than this. The clay is extremely finely ground making for a very dense 1 lb. tub, which will last a long time. Mixing less than a tsp. of it is plenty for a nice facial mask. Nothing but 100% pure calcium bentonite clay - no contaminants, no preservatives, nothing else, so it's good enough to ingest. Which brings me to another favorite thing about Pure Clay. You can drink it to rebalance your stomach pH. Go ahead and google the alkalizing properties of bentonite clay. This isn't new information, and I continue to believe it's something which the pharmaceutical companies would rather we didn't know about. If you rebalance the pH of your stomach, you will likely eliminate the need for things like antacids. I don't know how many people with acid stomach problems I've told this to and they give me that blank, whatever-are-you-talking-about stare. I know first hand that the need to balance one's gut is the answer to a plethora of sicknesses - such as the evil h.pylori bacteria. So now Pure Clay is at the top of my list of everyday essentials - both topical and internal and I have most definitely already noticed a huge difference in my gastric health. Huge! I'm equally hopeful about the possible benefits which its calcium may provide for my bone-on-bone knees, but it might take a few months longer to know those effects, so I will have to weigh in on that later. I could go on, I really could, but I have laundry to fold and a bath to take

I usually don't leave reviews but this deserves some credit. Without getting too graphic or going into too much detail this product cleared out at least 10lbs worth of poop. Keep in mind I was still having 1-2 bowl movements a day but when I started this clay some days were 15 plus bowl movements! Talk about clearing you out! Before I was having problems with bloating and constipation despite a near perfect diet and exercising frequently. I feel like it's too early to see all the benefits but so far I feel lighter, my head feels clearer and I went from over 190lbs down to 182lbs in about a week but it feels like good weight to lose. My wife can notice a huge difference that I lost fat/water weight on my body and neck. I should also add I've suspected a parasite infection or candida and I've seen some strange stuff while taking this clay. Maybe parasites or maybe mucus but either way it's cleaning house

This is an excellent product. I've used another clay previously but to my surprise Tierra Buena dissolved easier and is of a lighter consistency. I use it daily and must admit my health is better because of it. My aching knees, which I'd been told was arthritis, has lessen. I truly believe it to be Candida, memicking arthritis, and it settled in my joints. I also believed I had a parasite infection. Notice the word "had" because I believe the clay is flushing it out daily. I have changed my diet, added more exercise, and using this clay to flush out impurities. Only using it internally. I'm almost 70 years young and take a tablespoon each morning with fresh made vegetable juice. I feel awesome and look great

I broke out with a rash over my chest and abdomen in July 2015. Initially I thought it was a "heat rash" due to the hot summer weather and lack of air conditioning. Eventually I discovered it was candida overgrowth, due to the funky yeast smell on my skin. I went through two treatments of Fluconazole prescribed by my dermatologist, with no discernible effect. In March 2016 a co-worker suggested Pau d'Arco tea, which definitely worked, as I experienced several uncomfortable "die-off days". However, even with daily use its effectiveness reached a plateau. At that point I realized that I needed to clean out my system and eliminate areas where candida could colonize. That's when I purchased this clay. On 6 May 2016, after four days of a morning glass of water containing a spoonful of clay, a sprinkling of activated charcoal, and a bit of psyllium fiber, followed by drinking water the remainder of the day (which is my habit anyway), along with a single dose of probiotic FiveLac (found on Amazon), I had definite proof that my candida overgrowth was in remission. My bellybutton cleaning Q-tip no longer smelled like yeast!?!?!? Today, day seven of this cleansing routine, I was awakened by uncomfortable abdominal cramping which signaled a big release moving down the line. As I released this blockage I realized that a huge candida colony condo had probably been eradicated. As for the product itself - the taste is very mild and inoffensive, with a slight "chalky" texture. I plan to include this product in my daily nutritional routine. Elimination is improving. My abdomen is feeling lighter - less bloated and blocked. What is never said out loud in our culture is just how good a "good" poop can make you feel - ha! Try it, you'll like it..

I began taking for systemic candida issues. It will help flush out your system very well when taken orally, however, a good amount of fiber seems necessary to help prevent it from creating constipation. I've been using it a couple weeks and can feel the cleansing benefits. For the most part it tastes plain, but does have a slight taste of dirt. Best to chase it with some fresh filtered water and all is well. It is a bit pricey but seems to last long and seems to be good quality
