Thanks. Did you feel any of the claimed benefits?
Well I’ve always been thankfully blessed with what it claims it can improve so It was hard to tell tbh. Would be good for someone to try it who has bad digestion or cholesterol ext....there are plenty of reviews online though.
I know it is a good source of silica which helps in an aging body

Seems that as pest control, it literally cuts the pest to kill it. It's made of shells, you'd think the tiny amount being applied wouldn't much to the soil? Been around for a long time so wonder why the big companies are pushing it now

DE is pretty inert & certainly would be in the soil. Perhaps it has a low cost of production and a high profit margin?
