Nutra Nourished Fossil Shell Flour Powder is made from food-grade diatomaceous earth, a natural material formed from the fossilized remains of microscopic organisms called diatoms. It comes from a freshwater deposit associated with Aulacoseira, a genus of freshwater diatoms with silica-based structures. The food-grade material is specified as food-grade rather than industrial or filter-grade.
The product is a fine, pale powder with naturally occurring silica in its composition. It has a relatively neutral flavor. It is a loose powder, not capsules or tablets, so you measure the amount yourself with a measuring spoon or kitchen scale. It is prepared and packaged on the Gold Coast, Australia.
The suggested serving is ½ to 1 teaspoon twice daily, preferably with meals. Stir it into water or juice, or blend it into a smoothie. The powder does not dissolve, so some settling is normal. Stir again before drinking. To mix it more easily, stir the powder with a small amount of liquid first, then add the rest gradually.
