What is Daily Gold?
Mother Nature added weathered volcanic ash to sea water, let it age, and formed Redmond’s unique deposit of sodium bentonite clay. The layered honeycomb structure, negative charge, and alkalinity are the science behind the binding and buffering capabilities of our Daily Gold products.
-
Mined in Utah, USA
The rich composition of nature-made trace minerals in Daily Gold formed from volcanic ash and seawater. These bioavailable minerals are easily absorbed in the body and support critical cell functions.
-
More Buffering, Less Burn
Bentonite clay buffers excess acid and protects the stomach lining, reducing the risk of ulcers and inflammation. Maintaining a balanced pH leads to a more comfortable horse and better gut health overall.
-
Help Good Gut Flora Thrive
Bentonite’s buffering ability creates a friendly environment where healthy gut flora can flourish. A balanced microbiome decreases inflammation and increases nutrient availability.
-
Bind + Remove Bad Guys
Toxins can be silent destroyers that interrupt gut function and break down immune health. Bentonite attracts and structurally binds to these harmful toxins, carrying them all the way out of the system.
-
Nutrient Absorption + Immune Health
Removing toxins and promoting healthy gut flora helps your horse’s intestinal villi grow. That enhances nutrient absorption and strengthens the internal barrier that safeguards the immune system.
-
Premium GI Care + Affordable Price
Daily Gold is an effective and affordable digestive supplement that easily fits into any horse owner's budget.

What are the benefits of bentonite clay for horses?
Bentonite is an age-old healing clay with incredible curative properties. Bentonite forms when volcanic ash weathers and ages in seawater. Its layered honeycomb structure, alkalinity, and negative charge allow it to buffer acid, bind toxins in the horse digestive system, and optimize overall gut function. Redmond bentonite, sourced from an ancient deposit in Utah, USA, is the foundation of Daily Gold. It’s a natural and effective equine digestive supplement that helps your horse’s gut work smarter, not harder.
Gut-Brain Connection
Happy Flora, Happy Aura
Overview
There are 100 million nerve cells along a horse's GI tract that directly interact with the brain.
Neurotransmitters carry messages between nerve cells.
Balanced and healthy gut flora stimulate and generate production of happy neurotransmitters, including GABA and serotonin.

Why Care About Mycotoxins?
Mycotoxins are toxic metabolites produced by fungi. These bad guys often exist undetected in feed and are a hidden threat to horse health. They quietly disrupt gut balance and, at high levels, cause disease and even death. Even low mycotoxin levels can negatively impact a horse’s digestive system. Daily Gold is a natural and effective way to bind and remove harmful toxins from your horse’s gut.
Mycotoxins:
Damage gastrointestinal
surfaces
Disrupt microbiome balance
Decrease nutrient breakdown
and absorption
Impede immune function

Daily Gold Frequently Asked Questions
Daily Gold is a natural bentonite clay containing a full spectrum of balanced minerals. These same elements are found in the tissues of animals and people and are the building blocks of life. Redmond’s bentonite clay was born in the depths of an active volcano. When the volcano erupted, it settled as volcanic ash into an ancient sea. We mine the bentonite in Daily Gold from this protected mineral deposit in Utah, USA.
Though there isn’t one particular reason why horses eat dirt, it is a natural activity in moderation. Horses eat small amounts of dirt daily. If they are seeking it out too often, however, they may be looking for clay. Clays contain very absorbent particles which can buffer acid and bind up toxins, certain bacteria, and other potentially harmful substances in the gut. The bound toxins are then removed from the body in the manure. Daily Gold is an effective bentonite clay horse digestive supplement that can reduce dirt eating.
For an average-sized horse on a maintenance program, feed 2 ounces per day (a 1-ounce scoop is included in every pouch). Daily Gold contains 72 ounces of product, so one bag should last one horse 36 days.
The broad spectrum of minerals in Daily Gold and other Redmond supplements are in trace, or very small amounts. It is completely safe to feed Daily Gold with other mineral products.
Not only is it safe to feed Daily Gold with other Redmond products, but we recommend it! Providing your horse Daily Gold, a loose mineral salt from our Crushed lineup, and a free-choice Redmond Rock helps horses achieve optimal health results. Learn more about Redmond’s foundational program.
The short answer is no. If you want to delve deeper into the topic, read this article: Is My Horse Getting Too Much Iron in Daily Gold or Redmond Rock?
Daily Gold buffers acid and binds feed molds and allergens, nourishes with bioavailable trace minerals, and improves nutrient absorption. Many horse owners report their horses are more relaxed yet energetic when competing; have shinier, healthier coats; achieve or maintain a healthy weight; and experience overall better health.
- We recommended adding Daily Gold powder to feed and wetting it so the product is mixed in and not left in the bottom of the bucket.
- Daily Gold is safe to feed with other supplements. If you are feeding your horse Daily Gold and an antibiotic, we recommend waiting three hours after administering the antibiotic before feeding Daily Gold.
