Sodium Bentonite is a natural clay formed by weathering of volcanic ash (exposure to air). Its chief constituent is the clay mineral bentonite which is distinguished from other clays by its extreme fineness, highly absorbent nature and amazing property of swelling in water.
In fact it absorbs nearly five times its weight in water and at full saturation occupies a volume 15 times its dry bulk; on drying it returns to its original volume.
Sodium Bentonite has a two-fold effect on reducing odour.
- Absorbs gases (including ammonia and hydrogen sulphide) as they are evolved from urine and manure breakdown.
- Absorbs water, resulting in a drier poo.
The digestive enzyme combination in Rufus & Coco Odour Ender assists in the dietary breakdown by targeting specific components:
- Lipases are a class of enzymes that assist in the breakdown of dietary fats.
- Protease is a class of enzymes that assist in the breakdown of dietary proteins.
- Amylase is a class of enzymes that assist in the breakdown of dietary carbohydrates.
- Cellulase is a class of enzymes that assist in the breakdown of dietary cellulose.
Rufus & Coco Odour Ender also provides between 50% and 100% of the daily requirement of zinc, copper and manganese to ensure adequate uptake of these essential dietary components.
