Diatomaceous
It's pretty much just silica isn't it?
Your chances of being deficient in silica are pretty slim
Used in pool and fish tank filters.
It is what the white cliffs of Dover are made from

I use it to keep my chooks free from parasites. Sprinkle it where they have their dust baths.
Far as I know there are warnings about inhaling and ingesting it because the sharp structure of the silica causes damage to mucous membranes.
There's a difference between food grade and pool grade.
