A friend who has recently been researching DE told me that it is best to take it first thing in the morning, well before eating, or late at night, right before bed because it can block absorbtion of good minerals. We tried to wait until evening tea to take it after I heard this, but forgot to take it too many times. So now I just put it in our morning green smoothies that we drink with breakfast. I figure it may block some minerals, but it's better than not taking it at all.

Also, my friend just told me she read that silica is great for hair, nails, and bones--better than taking calcium supplements.

She said people used to get silica in their diets, but since we've changed to a more modern diet, people get very little.
