365 Healthy by Choice Diatomaceous Earth Powder

365 Healthy by Choice Diatomaceous Earth Powder is a naturally occurring material composed primarily of the fossilised remains of microscopic aquatic organisms known as diatoms.

Diatoms have cell walls made largely from biogenic silica. Over long periods, their remains accumulate in sediment deposits that can be collected, processed and milled into the characteristic fine powder known as diatomaceous earth (DE).

Diatomaceous earth is valued for its highly porous microscopic structure and absorbent properties, giving it a variety of practical applications around the home and garden.

The manufacturer also promotes this product for dietary use and claims benefits for detoxification, digestion, skin and hair health. However, the supplied information does not identify the product as food-grade diatomaceous earth or provide a specification confirming its crystalline silica content and suitability for human consumption. Internal use should therefore not be recommended until its grade has been verified.

What Is Diatomaceous Earth?

Diatomaceous earth is formed from deposits of fossilised diatoms, microscopic single-celled organisms that naturally occur in aquatic environments.

The cell walls of these organisms contain silica. Once fossilised deposits are processed, they produce a soft, fine and porous powder.

Diatomaceous earth is sometimes also referred to as fossil shell flour, although terminology and product grades can vary.

Different grades of diatomaceous earth are produced for different applications, and they are not interchangeable. Products intended for filtration or industrial applications can differ substantially from food-grade products.

Composition

Diatomaceous Earth — naturally occurring fossilised diatom material composed predominantly of silica.

The supplied information does not provide a complete mineral analysis, silica percentage or crystalline silica content.

Directions for Use

Use according to the intended application and the directions provided on the product packaging.

When using the powder around the home or garden, apply carefully and avoid creating airborne dust.

For Internal Use: The supplied information does not confirm that this specific product is certified or manufactured as food-grade diatomaceous earth. Do not ingest unless the current packaging or manufacturer specifically confirms suitability for human consumption and provides appropriate directions.

Suitable For

• Household applications
• Appropriate garden applications
• Absorbent mineral powder applications
• Those seeking natural diatomaceous earth
• Home and garden routines

Warnings & Precautions

Avoid inhaling diatomaceous earth dust. Fine silica-containing particles can irritate the respiratory tract, and repeated or substantial exposure to respirable crystalline silica can cause serious lung damage.

Avoid creating clouds of airborne powder during application.

Use in a well-ventilated area and consider suitable respiratory protection where dust exposure cannot be adequately avoided.

Avoid contact with the eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Keep away from children and pets during application and avoid contaminating food-preparation surfaces.

Do not assume that all diatomaceous earth is safe to consume. Pool-grade, filter-grade and other industrial grades must not be ingested.

The supplied information does not confirm that this particular product is food-grade. Its suitability for internal use should be verified before consumption.

Claims that consuming diatomaceous earth detoxifies the body, removes toxins, treats parasites or significantly improves digestive, skin or hair health are not sufficiently established and should not be presented as proven health benefits.

If using diatomaceous earth for pest management, follow appropriate product instructions and applicable pesticide regulations. Avoid indiscriminate outdoor application where the powder could contact beneficial insects.

Keep out of reach of children.
