Popular questions
Is tricalcium phosphate gluten free?
Yes—it's a mineral (calcium phosphate) and contains no gluten; any gluten risk would come from other ingredients or cross-contact during manufacturing.
Is tricalcium phosphate safe?
Yes—it's widely approved for use in foods (GRAS in the U.S., EU‑permitted) and typical dietary exposure is considered safe. People with kidney disease or on phosphate‑restricted diets may need to limit phosphate additives.
Is tricalcium phosphate bad for you?
Not at normal food levels. Very high intakes of phosphate additives can be a concern for those with kidney disease and may affect mineral balance.
Is tricalcium phosphate safe in body powder?
Generally yes—it's used as an inert absorbent/anti‑caking agent in cosmetics and body powders. As with any fine powder, avoid inhalation and keep it away from infants’ faces.
What is tricalcium phosphate in baby powder?
A mineral absorbent/anti‑caking agent that helps the powder flow and keep skin dry, sometimes used as a talc alternative.
What is bentonite clay?
A natural aluminum phyllosilicate clay (mostly montmorillonite); as food additive E558 it’s used to prevent clumping (anti‑caking) and to clarify wine and juices as a fining/processing aid.
How much bentonite clay to drink for detox?
There is no approved or evidence‑based oral “detox” dose—health authorities do not recommend drinking bentonite clay, which can bind medications/nutrients and may contain heavy metals.
Does bentonite clay expire?
Being a mineral, it doesn’t spoil, but follow the manufacturer’s shelf life; store airtight and dry to avoid moisture, contamination, or caking.
How to use bentonite clay?
In foods it’s added by manufacturers as a small‑dose anti‑caking agent, or hydrated as a slurry to fine wine/juice and then removed with the sediment; it’s not intended to be taken as a drink.
Is bentonite clay safe?
At permitted food levels E558 is considered safe (e.g., GRAS in the U.S.; EFSA found no concern at reported uses), but ingesting clay products for “detox” is not advised due to possible contaminants and interactions; avoid inhaling the dust.
