From the ancient sea bed of the Laguna de Zacoalco in Mexico.
The main component of diatomaceous earth is silicon dioxide. This naturally occurring substance is mined from old lake beds. It's composed of diatoms that have fossilized over millennia in old freshwater lake zones.
Diatomaceous earth is the fossilized shells of microscopic water-dwelling organisms known as diatoms. Diatoms are one-celled plants (algae or phytoplankton) that are the primary food source for marine life. These plants have been part of the earth's ecology since prehistoric times, yet their species still exists today in both salty and fresh waters all over the world.
Diatom Nutri is 89 - 95 percent amorphous silica. As well as being very high in silica percentage it also contains 15 essential trace minerals including phosphorous, selenium, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, copper, zinc and iron.
Food grade diatomaceous earth is a natural powder that works in a purely physical/mechanical manner, not "chemical" and thus has no chemical toxicity. Food grade DE has NO odor.
Silica alone is in fact crucial to bones, tendons, skin, cartilage and blood vessels. Silica exists in the bloodstream and important organs such as the liver, heart, and lungs.
Food grade Diatomaceous earth is the only type of DE safe for human consumption.
100% Diatomaceous Earth (amorphous non crystalline silica)
Guaranteed 100 % pure, our clays are a natural source of the following major trace elements: Magnesium(Mg), Calcium(Ca), Potassium(K), Manganese(Mn), Zinc(Zn), Phosphorus(P), Iron(Fe), Aluminum(Al), Silicon(Si), Copper(Cu), Selenium(Se), Cobalt(Co), Molybdenum(Mo) as well as lots of other elements.
Clay has been used for thousands of years, and yet, no one can pin down fully what makes it a healer.
Some are only happy to use it in every case they judge appropriate, and achieve great results. This is why we are full of wonder every time clay accomplishes a cure we did not expect, in so little time.
Most users of clay leave scientific explanations aside when they come astounded by the accomplishments of clay.
Clay is effective as a DYNAMIC PRESENCE far more significantly than a mere consideration of the substances it contains.
It is a catalyst rather than an agent itself.
This is possible because clay is ALIVE.
Clay is a live medium which helps generate and maintain life.
Our range of clays do not come from someone's backyard! Every extraction is analyzed and inspected and meets all microbiological standards. Our clay will always be at its purest and highest quality.
The use of clay is endless!
Many of the minerals needed by the body are, essentially, dirt or rock. Though we most often consume them taken up in plant or animal form, nearly all mammalian species engage in some form of direct earth eating to prevent nutritional deficiency. An obvious example is the dietary use of salt among humans, and the frequenting of salt licks by mammals such as deer, cattle and sheep to obtain minerals such as sodium, calcium, iron, phosphorous and zinc.
Given this fact, the relationship between mineral deficiency and clay and soil eating was among the first to be examined. Scientists have hypothesized earth-eating as an adaptive behavior based on nutritional requirements, one that occurred and persisted on an evolutionary basis due to its survival benefits.
Though the study of clay consumption has revealed the potential for digestive and nutritional benefits, scientists believe the most conclusive evidence points to detoxification as a primary benefit of clay eating throughout human history. Its use appears to be one borrowed from and shared by numerous animal species, attesting to its practice not as an anomaly or aberrant behavior but instead a true adaptive practice contributing to survival and evolution.
One example from the animal kingdom is the use of clay by animal species that regularly scavenge for a wide variety of foods, often of varying toxicity. Researchers discovered that the ingestion of clay by such species, among them birds, parrots, rats and primates, enables a diverse diet without suffering the toxic effects of substances consumed. The chemical structure of earthen clay determines their suitability as a detoxicant.
Eating clay, far from an eating disorder, may instead be history's earliest example of using the earth's resources to solve medical problems. With recent evidence revealing clay's common use in lowering food toxicity and promoting digestive health and detox, this ancient practice may continue to have much to teach us about medicine and healing.

DE is easy to take; simply add it to food or drink and stir well. Because DE won't dissolve, be sure to stir vigorously before consumption.We recommend to take DE 30 minutes before having food
As you begin to take DE you should start to notice changes within the first few weeks. As the silica works its way into your system you will begin to see your hair, skin, nails, appetite, and metabolism helped along.
