Ancient Purity Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a cleansing product that crosses many borders. An organic source of silica Diatomaceous Earth is a combination of minerals such as iron, magnesium and calcium. It has shown many nutritional and antifungal benefits in both humans and animals alike. Able to support digestion and detoxify it’s a powerful tool in environmental cleansing. This fine powder is made up of the fossilised microscopic skeletal remains of hard-shelled plant-like algae called diatoms. Diatomaceous Earth is a sedimentary rock that can easily turn into a white powder when crumbled. It is primarily made up of skeletal structures from underwater plant forms also known as fossils. DE is an amazing natural product from the purest fresh water source. Other food grade Diatomaceous Earth can contain higher amounts of sediment and clay, making the fossil shell flour a grey to brown colour. Our food grade deposits have been analysed and we are satisfied that our food grade DE is the purest form of freshwater DE available. There is an interesting study published on Diatomaceous Earth in ‘Journal of Applied and Environmental Microbiology’.
