Turning Drugstore 3% Peroxide Into 35% Food Grade By Freezing

Posted By Jeanette (St. Stephen NB Canada) on 04/26/2023

Hi I was wondering if this is true? I watched a video of a fellow who said if you buy 3% hydrogen peroxide from the store and put it in the freezer that what doesn't freeze is considered 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide. Is this possibly right? The reason I am asking is I cannot find food grade hydrogen peroxide where I am from and tried researching how to actually make it and this man's video came up. So am just wondering if this is true?

Jeanette,

It seems likely because water freezes at 32 degrees F. while hydrogen peroxide freezes at -a significantly lower temperature, depending on the concentration as shown in the graph below. I'm not sure if you will end up with 35% HP though. :

Jeanette,

Looking at the graph, a 3% HP mix freezes at only slightly below 32 degrees F., possibly in the 20's. Many freezers are colder than that so it is possible that it all will freeze. All you can do is try it and see if any part of the mix isn't frozen.

Depending on how long HP has been on the shelf, it may not be a full 3% anymore which adds another variable. Why are you trying to make 35% HP? Most people who buy 35% HP intend to dilute it for use.

Hi, because I cannot find or buy 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide here in Canada to try the protocol of hydrogen peroxide therapy. So I thought let's just see how you make it and I happened along a video of a fella here in Canada that made a video showing you how to make 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide from store bought 3% hydrogen peroxide. And honestly a lot of products you try and look for to improve your health it seems that they suppress so I thought well how do we start making our own. But I wanted to check to see what others thought. Thank you so much for replying.

One source for 29% food grade H2O2 in B.C. has been Vitality Plus. I have no affiliation with the company/organization (vitalityplus.ca).

Thank you I have looked into these places and the delivery charge is crazy and is why I tried searching if you could make your own and asked the question.

Oh and I was just told maybe Halifax Seeds might have some and that's not far away. So I'll check that out.
