Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide

There is a lot of confusion surrounding 35 percent food grade hydrogen peroxide these days. First and foremost hydrogen peroxide comes in many different grades and serve many different purposes. It’s more about choosing the best product for the application you are using it for.

The 35% Food Grade Peroxide you’ve heard of was specifically designed to disinfect food. Many people confuse the language of the product and think because it’s food grade it is safe to consume. This is NOT true. The high concentrations many peroxides come in from the manufacture are extremely powerful and will cause damage to your body. Food grade peroxide is no different. At 35% strength, this is more then 10x as strong as store bought hydrogen peroxide. Just like any peroxide at this potency, you should not consume any amount. Peroxide is an oxidizer and kills organic materials rapidly and you are no exception. You are organic!

When you are looking where to buy hydrogen peroxide, make sure you choose a supplier that is reputable and honest. This is a product that should be handled with care.

These uses below are not always at at 35% Solution. 35 Percent Hydrogen Peroxide is a very serious chemical and should always be handled with great care.

While you can find many claims online that says hydrogen peroxide does everything from improving sleep to curing cancer, their is no evidence to support most if not all of these claims. Their are some companies online that are making large profits from the misinformation about hydrogen peroxide. We are not making these claims and we are very much in the business of making money. However, we also have a conscious and morals that compel us to tell you not to believe what you’re reading. Hydrogen Peroxide is good at cleaning because it kills bacteria and all things organic. It will rapidly oxidize organics creating free radicals. Your body is 100% ORGANIC and it will have the same destructive behaviors on it. That being said, when it is diluted way down there are applications that make sense, but drinking it is not one of them. PLEASE DO NOT INGEST HYDROGEN PEROXIDE.

Chlorine has been getting a bad reputation over the years. It has been the gold standard in water sanitation for pools and hot tubs for decades. The use of hydrogen peroxide in swimming pools and hot tubs has been growing in popularity and many people now prefer hydrogen peroxide over chlorine.

For both swimming pools and hot tub usage, you want to keep your hydrogen peroxide levels around 30 to 100 PPM (parts per million). Depending on the size of your hot tub or swimming pool you’ll need to add the appropriate amount. You need around 1 cup of 35% Hydrogen Peroxide per 500 gallons of water. You can test the peroxide levels by using test strips.

Firstly you can order many different concentrations of peroxide on this site. We sell Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide and Technical Grade Hydrogen peroxide in 3%, 6%, 10%, 20% and 34% Strengths. However if you want a different solution or if you want to save money and buy high strength hydrogen peroxide and dilute it down, here are the proper steps.
