Perma-guard are the world leaders in DE being the longest and largest Diatomaceous Earth supplier internationally. The Diatomaceous Earth sold on this site is imported from Perma-Guard in the United States and is considered to be one of the finest and purest in the world. For a number of decades fresh-water or food grade DE has demonstrated to have excellent health benefits for mammals and plants when used correctly.Ĭonsumption by mammals Of many hundreds or possibly thousands of deposits of DE internationally and only a very small percentage of them are actually fresh-water based and consequentially can be rated as ‘Food Grade. This salt water form of DE is known to be harmful to humans and animals and should only be used for their intended industries.įresh-water DE is considered to be ‘Food Grade’ and has been shown to have a myriad of uses. Salt water based DE is generally used for industry as a filtration aid, paint and chemical additives. Some Diatoms are salt water based, others are fresh water based. Just like all animal and plant groups there are many different species of Diatoms – potentially some 25,000 types world-wide. DE is widely used internationally for a host of industrial, agricultural and horticultural applications. These sedimentary deposits are later mined, milled, dried and bagged creating Diatomaceous Earth or more commonly known as DE. As they die the microscopic diatoms drop to the bottom of the waterways and form deposits of essentially marine sediment. Consequentially, the fossilized remains have captured and contain the some 15 trace minerals used to form the shell. The Diatoms living in the waterways absorb minerals and elements from water enabling them to ‘build‘ their tiny shells. There are more types of Diatoms in the world than all land plants combined. Diatoms (algae) are the foundation basis of all aquatic life and form the most plentiful group of individual species known to man. Much in the same way grass is the staple food of land based herbivores. Diatoms are the grass of the waterways of the planet. Share Description What is Diatomaceous Earth? Quite simply Diatomaceous Earth is the fossilized remains of ancient algal shells called Diatoms or Phytoplankton. Pet Care, Home & Garden, Diatomaceous Earth
