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.
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.
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.
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.
