HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Fulvic Acid 12% Diatomaceous Earth 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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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 2 active ingredients.
  • “Ingredients” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (570 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: diatomaceous earth and fulvic acid. Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring silica-based mineral; this formulation is food-grade, which is safer for oral use than industrial grades.

Fulvic acid is an organic compound derived from naturally decomposed plant matter. The capsules themselves are 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 on what this product actually does is limited. For both diatomaceous earth and fulvic acid, claims about respiratory infections, lead toxicity, eczema, fatigue, and hay fever all lack sufficient reliable evidence to know whether they work.

The product facts we hold don't support any established benefit.

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.

Fulvic acid appears generally well tolerated in the short term when taken by mouth, but high-quality safety data in humans is sparse. Some trial participants experienced diarrhea, headache, or sore throat; a rare serious effect called Kashin-Beck bone disease has been reported in one case.

Diatomaceous earth carries important cautions. Only food-grade products should be swallowed — industrial grades exposed workers to crystalline silica, raising lung cancer and COPD risk.

Food-grade diatomaceous earth has lower crystalline silica content and appears less toxic than industrial forms, but human safety data is still limited. One case report linked processed diatomaceous earth to systemic sclerosis, a serious connective tissue disease.

Neither ingredient should be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — there isn't enough safety information.

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.

Check with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin) — fulvic acid may lower their effectiveness. Also double-check if you use immune suppressants or thyroid hormone therapy, as fulvic acid may interfere with both.

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.

If you take blood thinners, immune suppressants, or thyroid medication, talk to your pharmacist before starting this. The evidence for what it does is weak, and safety data in humans is thin.

This is a product to check in detail with your pharmacist before adding to your routine.

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.

Fulvic Acid 12% Diatomaceous Earth by Ormus Minerals: Common Questions

Does Fulvic Acid 12% Diatomaceous Earth by Ormus Minerals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Fulvic Acid 12% Diatomaceous Earth 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?
Fulvic Acid 12% Diatomaceous Earth contains 2 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.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Neither ingredient has adequate safety data for pregnancy or breastfeeding, so both should be avoided during these times. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're thinking about it.
What are the most common side effects I might notice?
Fulvic acid can cause diarrhea, headache, or sore throat in some people. Diatomaceous earth hasn't been well studied, so we don't have solid data on what side effects are typical.
Is this food-grade diatomaceous earth safe to swallow?
Food-grade is the only kind that should be ingested — it has lower crystalline silica content than industrial grades. That said, human safety data is limited, so it's not without caution. If you have lung concerns, check with your doctor first.
Does this product actually work for what it claims?
The evidence doesn't support it yet. The product facts we hold show insufficient reliable evidence for respiratory infections, lead detox, eczema, fatigue, hay fever, and other common claims — we just don't know if it works.
What is fulvic acid supposed to do?
It's an organic compound from decomposed plant matter. The product facts don't establish a proven role — claims exist, but the evidence needed to back them up isn't there.
How much of the fulvic acid is actually in each capsule?
The product is labeled Fulvic Acid 12% Diatomaceous Earth, but the exact dose per capsule isn't in the facts we hold. Check the label or ask the manufacturer for the serving size and amount.
