FAQs

What is Diatomaceous Earth FOOD GRADE?

It is a natural powder made from fossilized aquatic organisms called diatoms. Food Grade DE is safe for human and animal consumption and has various other uses.

How much Diatomaceous Earth should I take daily?

A common starting dosage is 1 teaspoon (about 2-3 grams) per day, mixed with water or another beverage. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized dosage recommendations.

Can I use this for my pets?

Yes, food-grade DE is often used as a natural flea and tick control for pets and can be added to their food for internal parasite control. Consult your veterinarian for appropriate dosages for your pet.

How does it work as a pest control agent?

DE works mechanically. Its microscopic sharp edges scratch the exoskeleton of insects, causing them to dehydrate and die. It is not a poison.

Is this the same as DE used for pool filters?

No. Pool filter DE is 'calcined' and not food grade, making it unsafe for consumption or topical application on skin. Always ensure you are using 'Food Grade' DE.

How should I store the product?

Store in a cool, dry place in its original, tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption and maintain its effectiveness.

What is the source of this Diatomaceous Earth?

This product is sourced from fresh water deposits, ensuring a high level of purity.

Troubleshooting

Product appears clumpy

Ensure the container is sealed tightly and stored in a dry environment. Clumping is usually due to moisture absorption.

Digestive discomfort when starting supplementation

Start with a smaller dose (e.g., half a teaspoon) and gradually increase over a week. Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Ineffective pest control

Ensure the DE is applied as a fine, dry powder. Reapply after rain or if it becomes wet. Cover all entry points and hiding places of the pests.

Skin irritation from external use

Rinse the affected area with water. Reduce the frequency or amount used. Avoid prolonged contact with skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This product requires no setup as it is a raw powder. For dietary use, measure the desired amount using a standard teaspoon or tablespoon. For pest control, a small sieve or shaker can be helpful for even distribution.

Compatibility: Food-grade Diatomaceous Earth is compatible with most foods and beverages for consumption. When used as a pest deterrent, it is generally safe for use around pets and children when applied correctly as a light dusting, but direct ingestion by pets should be avoided. It is compatible with organic gardening practices.

Care: Store the product in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from moisture to prevent clumping. Ensure the lid is securely fastened after each use. Avoid inhalation of the fine dust; use in a well-ventilated area. If used topically or for pest control, clean up any excess powder after the desired effect is achieved or after pests are no longer present.
