A bentonite clay detox product, identical to another entry, with negligible iron and unproven direct benefits for energy, productivity, hair, or mood.
This 'Great Plains Bentonite Detox' product is essentially the same formulation as ID 164368, focusing on bentonite clay for detoxification. The purported benefits for systemic well-being, energy, productivity, hair health, or mood from internal bentonite consumption are not strongly supported by scientific consensus for healthy individuals. Its extremely low iron content of 2.00mg makes it entirely inadequate for addressing any iron deficiency-related symptoms that might be impacting the specified goals.
- May aid in digestive regularity for some individuals.
- Available in a smaller, more manageable size for first-time users.
- Minimal iron content, making it ineffective for iron-related goals.
- Detox claims often lack robust scientific backing for systemic benefits in healthy individuals.
- Can cause constipation or other digestive issues if not consumed with sufficient water.
- Potential to bind with and reduce absorption of medications or other nutrients if taken concurrently.
- Bentonite clay can absorb toxins, but also essential nutrients and medications, so it should not be taken with food or other supplements/medications.
- Prolonged or excessive use may lead to mineral deficiencies due to binding.
- Contains lead as a naturally occurring element, though within safe limits in many brands, it's a concern for some consumers.

Categories
Iron 5.0
With only 2.00mg of iron, this product provides an insignificant amount of the mineral. It cannot be considered a useful source of iron for supplementation purposes within the 'Iron' collection.
Goals
Energy 5.0
Any energy benefits from bentonite clay would be indirect through generalized detoxification, which is often not necessary or proven for healthy individuals and does not directly address energy metabolism.
Productivity Boost 5.0
There is no direct scientific evidence supporting bentonite clay's ability to boost cognitive function or productivity, and its minimal iron content is irrelevant for iron-dependent cognitive benefits.
Hair Health 5.0
The product's negligible iron content (2.00mg) provides no effective support for hair health related to iron deficiency. Bentonite clay consumed internally has no direct, scientifically proven benefits for hair.
