Frequently Asked Questions

No. This is the defining characteristic of the Crown Wellness CLO2 formulation. Most CLO2 products on the market require mixing two separate solutions together immediately before use — which produces an unpleasant smell, a sharp chemical taste, and a preparation step that many users find difficult to manage consistently.

Crown Wellness CLO2 is a 7% sodium chlorite formulation in a proprietary blend, designed so that the body's own hydrochloric acid — HCL — which the stomach produces naturally as part of normal digestive function, serves as the activator. The result is a formula that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, requires no preparation, and is activated inside the body where the HCL is naturally present.

CLO2 should be taken in water only — not protein shakes, juices, or other beverages. CLO2 is an oxidizer and requires a clean water medium to activate properly via the stomach's HCL. Vitamin C, antioxidants, and other compounds present in juices and shakes can interact with CLO2 and reduce its effectiveness. Use water only, and separate CLO2 by at least two hours from vitamin C supplements or antioxidant-rich foods.

No. Crown Wellness CLO2 does not require refrigeration. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, tightly sealed between uses. Room temperature storage is fine including for travel.

For a single day's use, a plastic container is acceptable. For ongoing storage and daily use, a glass container is strongly preferred. Glass preserves the integrity of the formula more reliably over time.

Mild nausea at the beginning of a CLO2 program is occasionally reported and is generally understood as part of the body's adjustment process. If you experience nausea, reduce your drop count by several drops and hold at that level for a few days until the sensation subsides. Then increase gradually — one additional drop per day — until you return to your target dosage. If nausea persists or is severe, discontinue use and consult your healthcare practitioner.

David's recommendation is to restart at approximately ten drops and build back up to your previous dosage over several days rather than jumping immediately back to where you were. A brief interruption resets the body's adjustment to some degree — starting back at a lower dose and building up avoids unnecessary discomfort.

Yes, with modification. For topical use, CLO2 should be activated externally with a small amount of fresh lemon juice or citric acid in a 1:1 solution before application. The pre-activated formulation that Crown Wellness sells is designed for oral dietary supplement use — the external activation step is required for topical applications.

Yes. Add an acid activator such as citric acid, lemon juice, or vinegar to the CLO2 before adding it to water for purification purposes. The Crown Wellness formulation without an external activator is designed for oral dietary supplement use — water purification requires external activation.

This distinction is important for safety.

Filter-grade DE contains approximately 60% crystalline silica and is used in pool filters and industrial applications. It is not safe for human consumption.

Food-grade DE contains less than 2% crystalline silica, which is the form of silica associated with health risks.

Crown Wellness DE is 100% food-grade and composed primarily of amorphous silica (approximately 84%), the naturally occurring, non-toxic form that is safe for human and animal consumption.

Always confirm that any DE product you purchase is clearly labeled as 100% food grade before consuming it.

Yes. Crown Wellness DE is food grade and safe for pets. It can be added to pet food or water. The Crown Wellness Pet Section below will help you understand better everything around the Crown Wellness approach to pets.

In 1999, the FDA ruled that colloidal silver products marketed as over-the-counter drug products for treating or preventing disease conditions are not generally recognized as safe and effective for those purposes. The same ruling explicitly stated that a silver product could be marketed as a dietary supplement under DSHEA if it meets those requirements and does not make disease claims.

Crown Wellness Nano Silver is positioned and labeled exclusively as a homeopathic dietary supplement. It does not claim to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. It is formulated at 15 PPM, 99.999% purity, 5-nanometer particle size — a precision dietary supplement, not an OTC drug product. Crown Wellness shares this regulatory context proactively because informed customers make better decisions.

Trace minerals are water-soluble. The body uses what it needs and eliminates the remainder relatively quickly rather than storing them. Taking the formula three times daily — morning, midday, and evening — maintains a consistent mineral presence throughout the day, supporting the body's ongoing enzymatic and metabolic processes rather than providing a single large dose. This three-times-daily approach reflects the precision of a homeopathic formulation philosophy.
