What percentage is crystalline silica?
920026
Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is 89% Silica. It was established in the 1940s that life can't exist without Silica. More recently, in her book "Water & Salt" Dr. Barbara Hendel states: "Silica is the most important trace element in human health." Silica plays an important role in many bodily functions and has a direct relationship to mineral absorption. The average human body holds approximately seven grams of silica, needing significantly more silica than even important minerals such as iron. Most people are, in fact, silica deficient. Among other things, enough silica in the body is vital enough for calcium absorbtion to allow calcium supplements to work. If Silica deficient, as is the case in the vast majority of us, calcium supplementation can even be a negative. Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is an excellent natural and organic source of silica. Other Reported Health Benefits of Silica / DE Include Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Osteoperosis, Weight Loss, Cosmetics, Hair, Nails, Teeth & Gums, Energy, Bacteria, Mucus, Anti-Aging, Urinary Infections, Headache.

I got this info from the site from which I purchase DE - earthworkshealth.com - "Perma-Guards food grade DE on the other hand is less than .50% crystalline silica." (See the FAQ Section on the site). Hope this helps.

Sorry, I don't know; however, you may want to go on their website and email them. Now I will have to search about crystalline silica! Take care.

On the bottle it says 78 minerals, 34 enzymes, 17 amino acids, electrolytes, dissolved oxygen and purified water. Cellfood Essential Silica Formula contains naturally occurring organic particles. Supplemental facts: Cellfood Silica Proprietary blend 250mg and Silicon 25mg. It does not give a breakdown of the actual minerals, enzymes or amino acids.

Hi Karen, the package I have does not say what the percentage is. For me, the product works very well though.

I don't even know. Sorry I couldn't have been of more assistance, I purchased this sand for something other than an aquarium, I don't even know what silica-free is. Maybe if you contact the seller they should know.

It is normal and ok. I moved the majority of it into a glass mason jar and set it in a pot of hot water to dissolve the crystals. I left a little "as is" for toast. : )

I'm waiting for this answer too.. and it look like it will never come, their product it's probably not 100% silica free but then not much scientific research to human that as been made regarding this product type:in this link http://www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca/Default.aspx?DN=b3b1fd99-df9c-4da2-bd0e-6342bdef9e69under Varieties it will answer some questions.Now, as too where is the silica after the seed was harvested and then after you wash the seed??I would assume if it's the "itchless" or "glabrous Varieties of alpiste seed then drink the milk is safe.. 100% safe not sure.. but then what in the world nowadays that is 100% natural and safe...

Yes, it is a silica additive. It is not required for hydroponics, nor will it replace your current nurtient solution. I use this product regularly for hardy shoot development and am always very pleased with the results.

There is no way to tell. The adhesive is bonded to the back of the item to be stuck down. It is clear but probably not crystal. It is acid free.

I'm not sure what is in silica but I can tell you a little about silica. Silica is an essential nutrient in our body. It is a trace mineral which means we don't need a lot of it to work for us. Silica is involved in the formation of healthy bone tissue and collagen, the framework which helps us stay together literally our bodies that is. Benefits : Strengthens enamel Slows aging process Strengthens hair and nails Assists in prevention of kidney stones. Hope this information helps!!

Less than 2% silicon Dioxide added...You can get this at most Walmarts or Menards in the canning products section

Ok, I found it - Calcium Hypochlorite - & it needs to be 78% - from what I read.http://readynutrition.com/resources/better-than-bleach-use-calcium-hypochlorite-to-disinfect-water_19062010/ - has some very good information.

It actually doesn't take a lot of crystals at all. Follow the amts. on the bag that should be just fine or even a little less. They have been working great for me.

It should be, is just glass, my chemical tests stayed more stable with this glass sand than with the cilica sand I was using, the silica sand was entering to my pool and wasnt filtering ok, this glass sand is amazzing, and is supoused to filter even more small particles, like ecoli, blod cells, etc wich cilica cant, hope i help, I dont speak english so, sorry because my bad english
