What is the Difference Between Red Desert® Clay, Betonite, Pascalite and Other Clay?
There are numerous factors which sets the Red Desert® Clay apart location of the mine, the particle size, the elements it contains, i.e. high silica content, and the scientific studies (soon to be available on this website). The Red Desert® Clay mine is located in the hot dry California southwest desert. The high heat and arid conditions keeps the clay particles in an ‘open ion state’ creating stronger pulling power for removing toxins. It also allows for high alkalinity and smaller particle size as explained below. It is termed living clay. In the heat of the desert, the rainfall is minimal, moisture is nearly non-existent, and temperatures are consistently high; therefore there is almost no leaching of minerals. No drying is needed as found with other betonites and montmorillonites. This means minerals and trace elements are not lost, and washing away of the ions and chemical hydrolysis is almost non existent. Clay deposits found in colder Northern areas where there is significant ra
