Bentonite clay, formed by the decomposition of volcanic ash, is used to treat both external and internal maladies and is prized for its ability to absorb toxins, impurities, heavy metals and other internal contaminants. The use of metal to store, stir or mix bentonite clay can leave it less potent and could possibly be harmful. When storing, make sure to keep it away from direct contact with any metal materials. It is not necessary to keep the clay refrigerated, but it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from excessive moisture -- perhaps in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid.

On the Other: It Won't Hurt to Store in the Refrigerator

It would not be detrimental to store bentonite clay in the refrigerator as long as the basic rules for its storage are followed: ensure there is no contact with metal and store in a cool, dry, airtight container free of excessive moisture, with tight fitting lid. If your refrigerator can meet all of these needs and if it is a convenient place to store the clay it will not be harmful to the bentonite clay powder.

Bottom Line

Choose the most convenient location to store the bentonite clay that meets the basic requirements for safe storage. If the refrigerator is the best place available, that would be fine. However, if the refrigerator is not a convenient storage area, it will be of no harm to place the bentonite clay powder elsewhere as long as the rules for its safe storage are met.
