Clay & charcoal: It shouldn't interfere unless you are ingesting LARGE amounts. Which begs the question why you are 'drinking' these things. Generally this is a bad idea without physician supervision for detox reasons. Clay is a complex mixture of minerals dependent on geography and can contain toxic things like arsenic and heavy metals. Very bad for you.
