This is a certified food grade product. Many other sellers claim there product is food grade when it is not. Perma-Guard is the only certified food grade Diatomaceous Earth. Please ensure that you only ingest Diatomaceous Earth that is Perma-Guard. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerma-Guard is the original and largest supplier of food grade Diatomaceous Earth in the world. Perma-Guard is the trade name for the highest grade and quality Diatomaceous Earth. Perma-Guard Diatomaceous Earth is the fossilized remains from microscopic shells of freshwater plankton called diatoms. Perma-Guard Diatomaceous Earth is sourced from an extremely pure fresh water deposit of the diatom Melosira Preicelanica. This diatom is unique because its shell is made of amorphous silica. Its shape and hardness are important to how it works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFresh Water V. Salt Water Diatomaceous Earth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerma-Guard’s fresh water deposits have a unique and consistent diatom presence. Their fossilised shells have maintained their tubular shape. This shape and strength of the fossil shell is critical to its effectiveness. Perma-Guard deposits have 89-95% amorphous silica content and contain 28 trace minerals. Saltwater deposits contain a mix of types of diatoms of different shapes. Their fossilised shells are fragile and break easily. This renders them ineffective for our purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePotential Health Benefits Of Diatomaceous Earth \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetox of toxins, heavy metals, bacteria, worms, pathogens and radiation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent source of silica, which is required for calcium absorption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudies report the lowering of cholesterol due to increased silica levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNormalises bowel function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssists in stronger, healthier hair, skin, bones, connective tissue and joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay assist enamel hardness of teeth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilica supplied by DE may maintain healthier and longer lasting collagen, aiding in skin elasticity, beauty and youthful appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssists in normalising blood pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased energy and wellbeing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing Diatomaceous Earth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMix 2 level tablespoons in a glass of water or juice daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther uses: pets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen lightly rubbed into their coats or dusted on their premises, Diatomaceous Earth is very effective against fleas, ticks, lice, and other pests on dogs, cats and birds.
