Is this 100% boric acid? (A commenter said it's "supposed to be safer than regular boric acid. Well it may well be but it is weaker also.")

I had trouble with Roaches, this in combination with the liquid gel I placed out, took care of the problem in no time..weaker not sure I have never had a problem with Roaches before...I wish I could remember the other stuff it was a paste consistency ordered from amazon in a syringe tube....the combo took care of the problem.

I can say it worked very well, and we have many pets, safety is always a concern.

I like this product. I am not a chemist, so I don't know how I could attest to the purity. Apparently, from your comment, you have some way to ascertain purity? If so, why ask? I had merely heard that OptiMSM is a good product, and I have heard that this is a good company. You are on your own from there.

I was surprised about salicylic acid too and probably wouldn't have tried it if it was listed on the Amazon page. The bottle claims active ingredient sal. acid 2%, soap, alcohol and dye free. There's two additional acids listed in the inactive ingredients but I'm not familiar with either or the other ingredients aside from glycerin. If you're looking for an alternative I'd give it a try, cheaper than what's in most drug stores too. Good luck.Actually, now that I look at the Amazon page more closely the sal. acid is listed there, maybe I overlooked it before buying?

My kids are the small fury kind but I had the same concern. I'm not chemist but from my understanding once the substance dries it is safe. I've been using it for years (lots of ants, huge spiders and BIG roaches in Florida) and I know my dogs eat off the kitchen floor when I drop something and they are fine. It is the most effective product EVER! I highly recommend it.

All it says on the package is just the R-Alpha Lipoic Acid. In fact it even says: "Other ingredients: None" -- and that it is "Free of: Sugar, Soy, dairy, yeast, gluten or additives." Interesting that it interferes with biotin. Thank you for that information about it. I wonder if the biotin interferes with it and should be taken separately or if it just uses up the biotin faster than regular life does...

Don't buy it if you plan to consume it as a health supplement. I don't trust its purity as USP grade since it is sold as an additive for wine manufacture. Go with a product that is sold as supplement grade. I didn't get through to the ARMAND company on my failed bag but I assume that there are different quality grades. Plus potassium may just be very strong in a chemical form if it is not "organified"(in organic form). That may be the greatest danger. But there is no way to know unless you try a supplement that is sold as a supplement first. DON'T BUY THIS ONE IF YOU PLAN TO USE IT AS A SUPPLEMENT. That is my two cents based on my own personal experience. It caused me serious problems... Don't buy it if you plan to consume it as a health supplement.

Okay, for your personal edification - go to Amazon and enlarge the back of the bottle. I personallly magnified ingreidents - and GUESS WHAT - WHILE THERE IS A LONG LIST OF INGREDIENTS - vITAMINE C + E AND FERUILIC ACID - THERE ARE NO, NO, PERCENTAGES. i THINK IS THIS IS IMPORTANT TO YOU AND IT IS, I WOULD DO A GOOGLE SEARCH LIKE THE FOLLOWING: hYALURONIC ACID SERUM VERSUS HYALURONIC ACID - AND SEE WHAT YOU GET -- THANK YOU - THIS WAS A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION - AND IS SOMETIMES DECEPTIVE ON THE PART OF RETAILERS SELLING THEIR PRODUCTS. I HAVE THIS PRODUCT - (AND i was no quite as alert as you as to your qustion) AND I LIKE IT. ALWAYS ENLARGE THE BACK OF THE BOTTLES OF ANYTHING - WHAT YOU SURFACED IS CRITICAL - THOSE DAGGONE!!! percentages.! I HOPE THIS HELPED YOU.

It is similar, but it is much more concentrated than Borax. My vet told me that it's safe to use around pets but not to use it near their food. I did pour it into the cracks in the base boards near where they eat but made sure to wipe up anything that was exposed where the dogs could lick it. My grandmother told me that boric acid was used in laundry to get rid of bugs before they developed Borax but I don't know if that's true.

Boric acid is a poison and should not be used around plants or animals, where as Diatomaceous earth is nontoxic and safe to use on and around plants & animals.. safer brand is just as it claims to be, (SAFER) I would always wear a mask when applying.

Info says boric acid. There is no odor. Boric acid is non-toxic. Used for washing contacts and such. So if it meets fire specs, I wonder why everyone isn't using it. Mattress seems very good.

My bottle sadly has been diluted to 8% (says so right on the label). Another case of false advertising. This is the second time I have ordered 35% H202 and it arrives diluted... but originally it really was %35 !!!??? I think it might be illegal to deliver @ 35% peroxide because it is classified as a hazardous material. I'll keep searching...

since I had not done the acidic check, I do not know why it tested at 6.0. You might want to check with the company. Sorry.

If it is magnesium oxide, it really is not the best for bio-availability. That would be magnesium taurate, which you can find here at Amazon under the Cardiovascular Research Lab label. A bit more pricey (of course!) but really the best. For my purposes, which involves severe muscle burning/cramping, I can feel it working within 30 mins. or so. My naturopath had recommended the PURE magnesium (which uses mag. citrate...probably the next best type) but explained to me how the taurate was actually the best. Or so goes my two cents worth! :^) Cheers!

it does not state formaldehyde on the ingredients --but I am not a chemist ---and I can not say if it could be under a different name..---hope that is of some help?

Tim, you may have to look elsewhere online for that info. I will say though, as a vitamin expert this is one of the finest mineral products I have ever used. Still using it. What makes it different is NOT the label, its the QUALITY which imho is superior to other brands.

Pretty sure it is sealed lead acid. It would be lighter if one of the others.
