This came in a plastic bottle, have read several different places not store activated bentonite in plastic. Does this mean the bentonite is not good?

Not to my knowledge - haven't heard anything and you may have to call the manufacturer if you want that kind of info

I had not heard that, i have not had any side effects and found the product to work as it should.

Bentonite should never be packaged in plastic. Because of its extreme drawing properties, bentonite can leach petrochemicals from plastic bottles.

i don't really understand the question or know how to answer. i didn't have any problems with it though. it seemed effective to me.

Will this work on the intestines? I like my sodas. Do I have to stop drinking my sodas?

From my understanding, it is important to not have the clay touching anything metal as it can change the ionic structure within the clay. Even though it is stored in glass, I keep it in my cupboard away from any metals, and at room temperature.

I just received my order, it came in a plastic bottle. It appears to be of high quality.

It is plastic. I would be curious what grade of plastic it is since when making mascara I use things like activated charcoal and coconut oil which are known for their ability to "pull" things out of the containers they're in. I would hope it is a non-toxic, non leaching plastic...but I doubt it :/

It should state on the back of container. I would check with the manufacturer first, as to not ruin your stone. I also question how pourous your stone is. I would look around for something in a larger quantity. This is a very small bottle.

Mine came as a powder,it sounds like yours got wet in the package ,then dried out.Don't think it should cause any quality issues.I would put the plastic bag in a cloth bag and slam it on the concrete :-).

There is nothing wrong with the product. I believe those reviews are over a year old. There was a batch made over a year ago and the heat induction seal that goes under the lid was applied with a little extra heat upon packaging. When the bottle was opened they thought it was something with the plastic, but it wasn't. We use FDA approved food grade plastics. There was nothing wrong with the plastic or the product. This was a very isolated incident and after the seal was removed and the lid left off for a few minutes the odor they were getting was gone. This is all packaged in a cGMP facility and was investigated and cleared. Hope this helps answer your concerns. There is nothing wrong with the product. I believe those reviews are over a year old.

It came in Plastic but you can get it in a glass bottle, if you got to their actual website it might be a bit pricer because I believe it's a bit bigger than the plastic one.

I've had an open jug, about half full, on the shelf (in a dark room) for about 2 years now and it is still fine. I use it periodically and no sign of deterioration, mold, or discoloration of any kind. We do live in a dry climate (I don't know if this makes a difference). Just make sure to pour off a portion into a separate container before dipping cloths into it etc (so the original bottle does not get contaminated). And close it well right after pouring off what you need. I've used it extensively on solid maple, and on a few teak items also. Excellent results every time. And no chemical reaction for me! :) I've had an open jug, about half full, on the shelf (in a dark room) for about 2 years now and it is still fine.

Hmm I'm not 100% on that. Mine was never clumped, but I have had creatine clump and I still use it. It shouldn't do that on arrival though bc that either means it's been exposed to air or has sat a very long time

Yes, but I stopped taking it internally. It is almost black in color and I think it is absorbing the black plastic. I don't think the bottle is even BPA free so there are a lot of plastic toxins. Safer to go with a glass bottle. I went back to buying it in a glass bottle at Sprouts (Super Target even carries it!).

It's just what the other two people said. Look on the bottom of the bottle. It's different for every batch of product depending on when it was manufactured. The bottles I purchased from Amazon were good for well over a year. I put mine in the fridge door to possibly extend the shelf life past the expiration date.

It is indeed. I contacted the manufacturer; their response was: The polyethylene we use, by its nature, does not contain BPA. We have no recommendations on storing water for any lengthy duration, but obviously that should be avoided for the same reason that water bottles in a grocery store are rotated so that older ones are sold first. Even the most filtered of water will support bacterial growth over time. Plastics are by their nature porous to some extent when compared to other materials such as glass or metal, so oxidation (bacterial growth) can occur over extended periods of time, however the actual length of suitability is all subject to environmental conditions . I hope this information is of assistance. Sincerely, Scepter Corporation Marine Products | International Export

Have you kept it in the refrigerator? Personally I think if you've had it that long I wouldn't trust it in my tank. It's inexpensive where as your tank inhabitants is not. Toss it and get a new bottle would be my advice

As long as you keep it between 45 to76 degrees and the cap tight, it should be good for up to 5 years. The only thing that would go bad is if the water grew mold. The clay won't go bad in of itself. That is why it is in a brown bottle, to keep sun from growing bacteria. It may be good after 5 years also, that is just my limit to err on the side of caution. You can also go to Sonne's web site and ask them. I hope this is helpful.

doesn't say, but it does say on the bottle that," Bentonite is a mineral source dietary supplement that traps and binds unwanted,non-nutritive substances such as herbacides and other potentially harmful substances. Bentonite's mechanism of action is physical, due to its colloidal structure and charged particles. Great Plains is a unique naturally occurring bentonite with the proper mineral composition for maximum composition for maximum ability to remove unwanted substances." that is off the bottle. I also use a bentonite powder, mixed with apple cidar vinegar, to create a cleansing mask for my face. I have also used it on the bottoms of my feet (the powered kind mixed with the liquid) to detox as well. The manufacturers are good about telling you which one is for internal and which one for external, so no worries there. I get great results from this....I usually mix in a tsp of psyllium as well...really cleans house! hope this helps you. Dr. Laura :)

I am trying to find out if this can be taken internally? Is this also sodium bentonite?
