Clinical Evidence on Bentonite

Preventive Effect Against Pyoderma

Bentonite shows a strong binding affinity for staphylococci, reducing viable colony counts and inflammatory responses. This suggests its potential as a non-antibiotic preventive option for skin diseases like pyoderma in humans and animals.
