Diatomaceous Earth for Mineral Support
Wholistic Pet Organics Diatomaceous Earth is a simple, single-ingredient supplement made from naturally occurring freshwater diatomite. Diatomaceous earth is formed from the fossilized remains of microscopic aquatic organisms called diatoms.
There are many differences in the quality of DE
First, you must ensure the product is food-grade and FDA-certified. Many companies will simply put "food-grade" on their label even though it is not (much like the word "organic" or "natural"). Customers need to understand where they are buying from and should be buying from a reputable, FDA-certified company. There are hundreds of deposits in the US, of which only four are FDA-certified to be food-grade.
Our DE is from freshwater deposits
DE from saltwater is less effective than freshwater diatoms; their shells are less fragile. Also, saltwater diatoms contain many more species and sediment, leading to a less effective product.
Clay and sediments effects on DE
Our DE is analyzed to have less clay and sediment than other food-gradeDE, which makes it less effective. This clay and sediment clog the diatoms' pores. Clean, open pores are critical for DE to work effectively. That said, our DE is truly a pure, more effective product.
