Attapulgite clay is a mixture of clay and non-clay minerals with its primary clay mineral being Palygorskite, a hydrous magnesium aluminosilicate.
Palygorskite or attapulgite is a magnesium aluminium phyllosilicate with the chemical formula (Mg,Al) ₂Si ₄O ₁₀(OH)·4(H ₂O) that occurs in a type of clay soil common to the Southeastern United States.
Attapulgite is a rare magnesium aluminosilicate mineral with a very high water absorption capacity. This makes it ideal for treating and preventing diarrhoea in humans and animals. Trials in animals also showed that digestive function is improved.
