Dosage & Directions
TO CONSUME THE POWDER
Adults: Start with a teaspoon and work up to two heaped teaspoons, twice daily.
Children 5 to 12 yrs: 1/2 teaspoon twice a day
Children 6mths to 5 yrs: 1/4 teaspoon twice a day
Mix thoroughly in half a cup of water. Drink immediately and follow with another cup of water. Take on an empty stomach preferably. Can be mixed with juices, yoghurt etc, if preferred.
If constipation occurs – consider taking extra magnesium or half a teaspoon of Epsom salts in a glass of water.
WARNING: Allow at least one hour before or after medications or supplements. Do not cook our Diatomaceous Earth as this can cause it to crystalize and thus become toxic to consume.
Initially, you MAY experience a Herxhemier reaction, which can cause abdominal discomfort and flu-like symptoms. This is a normal response to DE and the symptoms should disappear after a few days.
Should this be a concern, you should then reduce your dose to half a teaspoon twice a day and then slowly increase over a few weeks.
CAUTION – avoid contact with eyes and avoid breathing in fine dust particles.

Easy to use as dissolves in water or wet food easily. My dogs don’t seem to notice it so must be tasteless.
