Minerals & Trace elements

Eco-Earth has over 35 minerals and trace elements with Bio-available silica being the most significant:

 

Benefits of Bio-available silica:
• Improved immune system
• Improved mineral uptake in the digestive tract
• Connective tissue( hair, skin, teeth, bone, cartilage, ligaments, tendons etc)
• Stimulates microbial growth and productivity
• Healthy Joints – optimal mobility

 

 

Detox & immune protector

The DE frustules are highly positively charged while harmful bacteria, viruses’ heavy metals and other toxins are highly negatively charged. As the DE passes through the digestive tract, it binds with all the toxins which are then expelled in the feces. Bio-available silica also assists the immune system and metabolism.

 

 

De-Wormer

 

DE assists in controlling internal parasites (worms). It has a mechanical action which means the parasites can’t build up a resistance to it.
For livestock Known to have heavy parasite burdens, DE is recommended as a maintenance parasite control method and should be used in conjunction with other anthelmintics if FEC’s (faecal egg counts ) show an infestation.
Note: Have your livestock’s faecal egg counts (FEC) tested at your veterinarian to ensure a clear tract.

 

 

Pest Control

 

Eco-Earth special grade of fresh-water food-grade diatomaceous earth (DE) designed to assist in the control of all crawling insects and is safe to use around the house, lawns, in stored grain and feed, in food products, and around food processing areas. It is natural & non-toxic to pets, birds, people, or beneficial worms in the soil. Eco-Earth is made from pure DE with no chemical additives.

When insects come in contact with Eco-Earth, it absorbs their protective wax coating and their bodies are damaged by the sharp edges of the particles.

Eco-Earth also absorbs the insects’ body fluids and they eventually die by dehydration. There is no built-up immunity as there is with chemical insecticides. Eco-Earth also does not break down as chemicals do, and the more it is used, the more insects feel unwelcome in the area.

 

 

Tick & Flea powder

 

Eco-Earth assists in the control of fleas, mites, ticks, lice, and other pests on pets, poultry,and other livestock. Dust the animals liberally and lightly work the material into the hair of the animal, or provide a box or loose bag of it for animals to roll in or rub against to dust themselves. Dust the ears of the animal with care. Dust the animal’s bedding and areas where the animal sleeps, as well as cracks and crevices adjacent to them. This can be done manually or with a power dust blower.
