Our take on the Pure Siliceous Earth Powder Food Grade

Pure Siliceous Earth Powder Food Grade is a 1-pound bag of fine diatomaceous-earth powder sold as a food-grade supplement. Food-grade diatomaceous earth is mostly amorphous silica, which people take in small stirred doses for fiber and digestive support, or use around the home for pest control. It is a bulk pantry-style supplement with no capsules, so you measure and mix it yourself. No current price or price history was provided, so its latest best price cannot be compared with its recent range.

Questions and answers

Is food-grade diatomaceous earth safe to eat?
Food-grade DE is labeled for oral use and is mostly amorphous silica. Keep doses small, drink plenty of water, and check with a doctor if you take medication or are pregnant.
How much should I take?
Common label directions are about 1 teaspoon once or twice a day, stirred into water or juice. Start lower to see how your digestion responds.
Does it really help hair, skin or joints?
Silica is marketed for these, but human evidence is thin. Treat those claims as unproven and judge it mainly as a fiber supplement.
Can I use it for pests as well as eating?
Yes. The same powder can be dusted in cracks and around plants, but keep the food-use portion separate and labeled to avoid cross-use.
What is in the bag?
Just the 1-pound bag of powder. No scoop or measuring spoon is included, so use your own teaspoon.
When is the best time to buy it?
Bulk powders like this usually dip during storewide supplement sales and subscribe-and-save offers. Compare the per-ounce price across stores before buying.
