HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Digestive Clay with Fulvic Acid Minerals by Ormus Minerals

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 7 active ingredients.
  • “Ingredients” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (540 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product has 7 ingredients total. The active components are Diatomaceous Earth, three types of bentonite clay (Pascalite, Idaho, and Green varieties), pure Fulvic acid powder, Magnetic Pascalite, and pure Calcium Montmorillonite Clay.

These work together as a digestive mineral blend. The capsule itself is made from gelatin.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for this product isn't established in the data we hold. Diatomaceous Earth, Fulvic Acid, and the clay ingredients all show insufficient reliable evidence to rate for their claimed uses — which include supporting digestion, respiratory health, and detoxification.

That doesn't mean they don't work; it means high-quality human studies haven't been done yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Diatomaceous Earth Fulvic Acid

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Diatomaceous Earth is generally well tolerated when it's food-grade, but human safety data is limited. Avoid it in pregnancy and while breastfeeding — safety hasn't been studied enough.

Fulvic Acid appears well tolerated short-term in the mouth, though some people in trials reported diarrhea, headache, or sore throat. Like Diatomaceous Earth, it should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding because we don't have enough safety information.

We have no reliable data on the tolerability of the bentonite clays in this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Diatomaceous Earth Fulvic Acid

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Fulvic Acid.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 257 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you start, check your medications against these types: blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (Moderate concern — fulvic acid may make them less effective), immunosuppressants (Moderate), and thyroid hormone therapy (Moderate). No interactions are documented for the clay ingredients we could check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product might appeal to you if you're interested in clay-based digestive support and want to avoid single-ingredient supplements. But if you take blood thinners, immunosuppressants, or thyroid medication, you need to check with your pharmacist or doctor first — fulvic acid in here could interfere with how those work.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip it; the safety data isn't there.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, taking fulvic acid may decrease the effectiveness of anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro evidence shows that fulvic acid, formed from the oxidation and polymerization of protocatechuic acid, can shorten prothrombin time in human plasma, increasing the risk of clot formation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, taking fulvic acid might decrease the effects of immunosuppressive therapy.
Animal research shows that fulvic acid stimulates immune function.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Thyroid Hormone

Theoretically, taking fulvic acid with thyroid hormone therapy might interfere with the ability to normalize thyroid function.
Animal research shows that fulvic acid increases the plasma level of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and decreases the thyroxine (T4):triiodothyronine (T3) ratio.

Digestive Clay with Fulvic Acid Minerals by Ormus Minerals: Common Questions

Does Digestive Clay with Fulvic Acid Minerals by Ormus Minerals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Digestive Clay with Fulvic Acid Minerals has a known interaction with 257 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Digestive Clay with Fulvic Acid Minerals contains 7 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is this safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
No — both Diatomaceous Earth and Fulvic Acid should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding because there isn't enough safety data. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about safer options for your situation.
What side effects might I notice?
Fulvic Acid may cause diarrhea, headache, or sore throat in some people. There's very little clinical research on the diatomaceous earth and clays in this blend, so common side effects aren't well documented.
Does this actually work for digestion?
The evidence isn't established yet. All the active ingredients here have insufficient reliable evidence to rate for their claimed digestive and health uses — meaning high-quality human trials haven't been done.
Why does it say 'food-grade' diatomaceous earth?
Only food-grade diatomaceous earth should be ingested. Industrial-grade versions carry a higher risk of lung problems because they have more crystalline silica. This product lists food-grade, which is the safer form.
Can I take this with my thyroid medication?
Not without checking first. Fulvic Acid in this product may interfere with how thyroid hormone works by affecting TSH levels, so talk with your pharmacist before adding it.
