Organic Fossil Shell Flour Powder – Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth

Discover the fascinating natural origins of fossil shell flour in a convenient, finely powdered format.

Nutra Nourished Fossil Shell Flour Powder is made using food-grade diatomaceous earth, a naturally occurring material formed from the fossilised remains of microscopic organisms called diatoms.

Our fossil shell flour comes from a freshwater deposit associated with Aulacoseira, a genus of freshwater diatoms recognised for their distinctive silica-based structures.

Over time, the remains of these microscopic organisms can accumulate in sediment, forming deposits of diatomaceous earth.

The resulting material is prepared as a fine powder with a characteristic pale appearance and naturally occurring silica as part of its composition.

Unlike pre-measured capsules, our loose powder format allows you to measure the ingredient directly. It is a practical option for customers who prefer a powder rather than capsules or tablets.

Each pack contains 250 g of food-grade fossil shell flour, providing a convenient quantity in a compact, easy-to-store format.

Prepared and packaged on the Gold Coast, Australia.

💧 Freshwater-Sourced Fossil Shell Flour

Made using diatomaceous earth sourced from a freshwater deposit associated with the diatom genus Aulacoseira.

🔬 A Fascinating Natural Material

Fossil shell flour is formed from the accumulated remains of microscopic diatoms, organisms recognised for their intricate silica-based outer structures.

Food-Grade Fossil Shell Flour (Diatomaceous Earth)

Our fossil shell flour is sourced from a freshwater deposit associated with the diatom genus Aulacoseira.

Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring material formed from fossilised diatoms. Its composition includes silica, a compound associated with the microscopic structures of these organisms.

The material is prepared as a fine powder and presented in a convenient loose format.

A convenient, finely powdered format that can be measured and mixed without the need for capsules or tablets.

Take ½–1 teaspoon twice daily, preferably with meals.

Nutra Nourished Fossil Shell Flour Powder has a fine, powder-like texture and a relatively neutral flavour, making it suitable for the preparation methods specified in the product directions.

How to Mix Fossil Shell Flour Powder

With Water
Measure the directed quantity of fossil shell flour powder and add it to a glass of water.

Stir thoroughly to distribute the powder throughout the liquid. Because diatomaceous earth does not dissolve like sugar, some settling may occur. Stir again before drinking.

With Juice
Add the measured powder to a glass of juice and stir until evenly dispersed.

With Smoothies
Add the measured quantity to a smoothie and blend thoroughly to distribute the powder throughout the mixture.

Tips for Mixing

For easier preparation, add a small amount of liquid to the powder first and stir gently. Gradually add the remaining liquid while mixing.

The powder may remain suspended rather than fully dissolve, so some sediment can be expected.

Measure carefully using a suitable measuring spoon or kitchen scale, and follow the confirmed product directions.

Proudly filled and packed in Australia on the Gold Coast, using carefully selected ingredients and thoughtfully produced with attention to every detail.

What Is Fossil Shell Flour?

Fossil shell flour is another name commonly used for diatomaceous earth.

It is a naturally occurring material formed from the fossilised remains of microscopic organisms called diatoms.

These organisms are recognised for their intricate silica-based outer structures.

Over time, the remains can accumulate in sediment, forming deposits of diatomaceous earth.

The resulting material can be processed into a fine powder.

What Are Diatoms?

Diatoms are microscopic organisms found in freshwater and marine environments.

They are known for their distinctive outer structures, often called frustules, which are composed primarily of silica.

These structures can remain after the organisms die and accumulate in sediments over long periods.

What Is Aulacoseira?

Aulacoseira is a genus of freshwater diatoms.

Our fossil shell flour comes from a freshwater deposit associated with this genus.

Identifying the source provides additional information about the material used in the product.

What Is Silica?

Silica is a naturally occurring compound composed of silicon and oxygen.

It is found in many natural materials, including the outer structures of diatoms.

Fossil shell flour contains silica as part of its composition.

The presence of silica describes the material's composition and does not, by itself, establish a nutritional or physiological benefit.

What Does Fossil Shell Flour Look Like?

Fossil shell flour is a fine, powder-like material with a characteristic pale appearance.

Its colour and physical characteristics can vary depending on the original deposit and processing method.

Does Fossil Shell Flour Dissolve in Water?

Fossil shell flour does not dissolve in water in the same way as sugar or salt.

When mixed with liquid, the fine particles can become dispersed throughout the mixture.

Some settling may occur, so the mixture may need to be stirred again.

What Does Fossil Shell Flour Taste Like?

Fossil shell flour has a relatively neutral flavour.

Its fine, powder-like texture may be noticeable when mixed into liquids.

What Is the Difference Between Food-Grade and Filter-Grade Diatomaceous Earth?

Diatomaceous earth is available in different grades intended for different applications.

Food-grade material is specified for appropriate food-related uses.

Industrial and filter-grade materials may have different specifications or processing methods and should not be treated as interchangeable with food-grade material.

Nutra Nourished Fossil Shell Flour Powder uses material identified by the supplier as food-grade.

Why Choose Powder Instead of Capsules?

Loose powder allows the ingredient to be measured directly.

Capsules provide a pre-measured format, while powder requires separate measuring and preparation.

The powder format also contains no capsule shell.

How Much Is in Each Pack?

Each pack contains 250 g of fossil shell flour powder.

How Should I Store the Powder?

Keep the pack securely sealed and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Avoid creating airborne dust when opening, measuring or transferring the powder.
