Q: Bentonite / Green Clay while on the pill ?

I have been wondering for a while now, if I would be safe to take Bentonite clay or green clay (healing remedies) internally while I am taking my Mircette Birth Control Pills. I dont want them to interact with eachother, because Bentonite Clay and Green Clay are both adsorbents...but I was wondering if I could take the clay in the morning since I take my pills at 9:30 at night...its like a 12 hour break in between. Thanks! Rolling Eyes

Bentonite Clay

I've been wondering the same thing - i started taking bentonite on thursday or friday and started spotting on Sunday, and wonder if it's related. I work for a spa and I asked the healing director and he said that although far fetched, it may be absorbing some of the pill. I am waiting on a response from my gyno...

Bentonite Clay

Wow, Glad to know that I am not alone in wondering. I mean, I took the clay on my week off of the active pills, but during the active pills, I cringed and did not do it. Let me know what the doctor says.

bentonite clay

As a inert substance Bentonite should be safe for everyone to take. However if you are breastfeeding, pregnant or have a serious illness, be sure to consult your doctor. It should not be taken within 2 hours of other medicines or supplements.
