You point out an important advantage of citric acid: that it will not gas into CDS, making it a “cleaner” end product than with HCL. Given that advantage, once CDS is made from CA using the wet method, how meticulous do we need to be in removing CDS from the bento box? For example, my doctor wants me to start with 1 ml CDS dissolved in 1 litre water as my daily intake. When the CDS is finished brewing at about 3 hours, I would suggest to put the bento box in a fridge for a few hours to cool down to below 10C (50F), so when you take off the lid from the bento box, there will be less loss of CLO2 from CDS. Then, you can take out as much CDS as you need. But, I would not store CDS in the bento box very long as its lid is not really that airtight. Glass screw-top bottles should be much more airtight.

What if I simply removed the lid of the bento box, removed 1 ml of the CDS with a glass syringe, mixed the 1 ml CDS with 1 litre of water, and poured the resulting solution into eight 120-ml amber colored glass bottles with screw-on plastic caps? I would drink the contents of one bottle every hour. Good idea!
 


 

When transferring to the fridge after the 3 hours with the dry method, do you leave the reactor in, or remove it?

If I do wait the additional 3 hours for the CDS to cool and then transfer the CDS to the 120-ml amber colored glass bottles with screw-on plastic caps and keep these bottles in the refrigerator, would the CDS in these bottles remain potent for ingestion on the following day?

If those 120ml small bottles are filled to the top, so no or very little air remains in the bottles, they can last a long time in or out of a fridge.

If stored correctly (airtight, etc.) it can store for months.
