Claritose

A: Claritose is a liquid OTC formula that uses a multi-tiered approach to provide, safe, natural, temporary relief of environmental allergy symptoms and promote recovery of the healthy lifestyle. We stabilize natural active homeopathic ingredients into our purified ionized mineral water complex.

A: Claritose is an FDA product listed natural medicine, and uses an OTC formulation. The active homeopathic ingredients are officially recognized, as listed in the HPUS and Homeopathic Materia Medica. The FDA has regulated homeopathic medicine since 1938 by means of the guidelines in the HPUS, as per the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Said regulation is conducted in the same manner as that of nonprescription OTC drugs, according to The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM). Claritose is manufactured and packaged following the FDA's Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP).

A: Dosage and directions are included on the label. You can add liquid Claritose to a glass of purified water, or dispense directly into your mouth. See detailed instructions in picture below. Avoid contamination: Do not touch the dropper to anything other than the product. (fig. 1,2) When dispensing, squirt the homeopathic into your mouth without touching the dropper to your mouth. (fig. 3) If dispensing directly into mouth is not convenient, you can put the solution into a spoon or a glass of water. (fig. 4,5) Make sure to use non-metallic objects, as the metal can change the product's effectiveness.

A: For optimal benefit, take Claritose consistently every day, once in the morning, and again at night.

A: Claritose is designed to work with your body to relieve your symptoms. For many individuals, results will be apparent within a few hours of the first dose. Because every person is different, however, the exact time taken for relief is indefinable. Claritose functions best in a body free of underlying conditions, which can hinder the body's ability to achieve balance. A healthy lifestyle that observes proper nutrition and regular exercise is essential in order to experience the results of Claritose.We encourage you to take Claritose twice daily for 30 days to begin experiencing the results desired. If you cannot see improvement in the first 30 days, you are welcome to take advantage of our 60-day satisfaction guarantee and return the product. If you do see some improvement, however, we recommend that you stay with the program for 3-6 months to receive the desired results.

A: A single bottle of Claritose is two fluid ounces. The product's dosage is given according to weight. So, if you weigh 50+ lbs, each two-ounce bottle will last approximately one month for one person, depending on your individual health needs and usage.

A: Each bottle of Claritose offers a one-month supply for one adult. Children may need less, and multiple family members taking Claritose may need more than one bottle per month.

A: Yes, Claritose is OTC formulated for safe temporary environmental allergy symptom relief in adults and children over age 2.

A: Claritose is made with natural ingredients and is, first and foremost, formulated to be safe. Claritose has no reported side effects or drug interactions, and may be used with other prescription or OTC medications. Claritose is safe for both adults and children 2 years of age and up.

A: The individual ingredients in Claritose have claims based on the Homeopathic Materia Medica. As a composite formulation, however, Claritose has not been clinically tested.

A: The ingredients in Claritose are natural, safe, and have no known interactions with prescription medications. However, as with any change in your health regimen, we recommend you consult your health care professional before use.

A: Claritose is not an herbal remedy. Herbal remedies are based on the herb's use in traditional medicine, while homeopathy uses the "law of similars." Herbs use larger quantities of the product per dose. Homeopathic medicines use minute doses of the substance to address the symptoms. Herbal substances are regulated as food, where as the FDA accepts homeopathic products as drugs.

A: The "law of similars" is the idea that like relieves like. Homeopathy demonstrates that a substance that produces a certain set of symptoms in a healthy person can relieve the same symptoms in a sick person experiencing them. The homeopathic medicine is diluted to such minute doses that the ingredients are very safe.

A: With a long-standing history of safety and efficacy dating back over a 100 years, homeopathics are a specific type of natural medicine designed on the principle of "like cures like." Seeking alternatives to the often dangerous and even deadly treatments of their time, the brave doctors who first developed homeopathic practices would take small doses of natural ingredients to observe and note every effect the ingredient had. Those records they compiled over many years of research now make up the homeopathic "bible," known as the Materia Medica, which have guided the production of homeopathic treatments ever since.Homeopathics work similarly to the way our modern day vaccines do. Teaching the body to fight back against symptoms, ingredients which most closely mimic the complaints of a patient in their raw form are actually those best suited to treat them in a homeopathic dilution.The natural ingredients used in homeopathic ingredients, are diluted to such minute doses as to be rendered safe and free of side-effects. Yet, with the secondary process of homeopathic potentization, those minute doses are able to work powerfully with the body to fight back against symptoms. As with a vaccine, but without the viral ingredients or potential side-effects they carry, very small, safe doses of these natural ingredients work to improve immunity and resistance to problem symptoms and, ultimately to provide relief.

Homeopathics are a specific type of natural medicine following the priniciple of "like cures like". The best natural ingredients for your homeopathic treatment are actually those that would cause the symptoms you are experiencing IF they were ingested in their undiluted, raw form. Homeopathics are designed to work similarly to vaccines, but without the viral ingredients or associated risks. Instead of using viral ingredients or chemical drugs, homeopathics dilute natural ingredients down to the point that they can be taken safely and without side-effects, yet still work in the body "teaching" it to resist problematic symptoms. And has a long history of symptom relief! Homeopathics have been used successfully to relieve symptoms without causing side-effects for over 100 years.

A:Homeopathic Medicines are believed to be more effective when its active ingredient is diluted. This is the minimum dose approach to homeopathy. The purpose of potency is to dilute the product until it can do no harm to a person. Homeopathic drug potency is indicated by such terms as "10X," 30X," and "LM1." These refer to the amount of times and by what ratio the base substance has been diluted.

A: The Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS) is a compilation of standards for the components and preparation of homeopathic drugs. It has been in continuous publication since 1897, and became the official U.S. homeopathic regulatory guideline in 1938, as stated in the Federal Food, Drug, and Comsetic Act. The HPUS is compiled by the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia Convention of the United States (HPCUS), which is a non-governmental, non-profic scientific organization of experts trained and experienced in the field of homeopathy. The HPCUS works closely with the FDA and U.S. homeopathic organizations. Claritose's active homeopathic ingredients are listed in the HPUS, and are therefore officially recognized.

A: "Materia Medica" (Latin) refers to a body of information about medical knowledge. At HelloLife, we refer to specific Materia Medica that contan information on homeopathic ingredients. In general, we refer to William Boericke's Homeopathic Materia Medica. The active homeopathic ingredients in Claritose are recognized by such long-standing Materia Medica, and thereby are not required to undergo the same safety and interaction testing as new OTC drugs.

A: Purified ionized mineral water uses organic trace minerals to supplement the minerals necessary for enzyme functions in the body. This can speed up cellular metabolism and support your natural repair processes. The purified ionized mineral water in Claritose is an effective stabilizing agent for the homeopathic ingredients, as opposed to alcohol, which is common to most homeopathic preparations but irritating to your system.

A: Claritose is a natural medicine that works with your body to temporarily relieve symptoms of environmental allergies, but it is not a cure. Instead, Claritose is intended as a component of a healthy lifestyle, safely relieving your symptoms so you can focus on the big picture of your health and life. Choose whole, fresh foods, clean, pure water, and plenty of positive thought and movement, and you will naturally increase the effectiveness of Claritose and the overall health of your lifestyle, and over time find yourself naturally free of allergies.

A: Symptoms are the aspects of illness that you can see and feel; they are the way your body responds to an underlying problem. Although they tend to be negative manifestations, they are actually good in the sense that they are your body's way of telling you what is wrong. Claritose is intended to help relieve negative symptoms you are experiencing. When you are no longer hindered by uncomfortable symptoms, you can concentrate on helping restore your body to its healthy balance.

A: Because the ingredients in Claritose meet the "Criteria for Eligibility of Drugs for Inclusion in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States," and that the HPUS is an officially recognized compendium of homeopathic drugs by the FDA, Claritose is considered and OTC homeopathic drug. Therefore, it has to comply with the Labeling Guidelines of the FDA. Homeopathic products have been considered drug products since 1938, as stated in the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. It is important to note that, although Claritose is technically considered a homeopathic drug (remedy) by law, its ingredients are natural and safe for supporting your body's healthy balance. Claritose is not inteded for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of any disease.

A: The purified ionized mineral water base of this product is formulated to initiate a seamless detoxification process, but some sensitive bodies may experience initial detoxification effects. As minerals begin to activate enzymes and chelate toxins and metals, sensitive bodies may experience mild acute symptoms of sores in the mouth (similar to ones caused by eating excessive salty or acidic foods) or loose stools. Symptoms should last only 24 hours.

A: There are five important points to consider and act on, as stated by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM): First, homeopathy is not a replacement for proven conventional care or a visit to your health care professional. Second, research clinical studies conducted around the homeopathic remedies for the health condition you are trying to treat. Third, thoroughly acquaint yourself with any homeopathic practitioner you may visit. Fourth, women who are pregnant or nursing, or those thinking of using homeopathy for a child should first consult with their health care professional. Fifth, inform all of your health care providers about any complementary and/or alternative practices you use.

A: According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), a systematic review found homeopathic products such as Claritose to be generally safe and unlikely to cause severe adverse reactions when taken as directed. Claritose contains no alcohol, making it superior to many other OTC homeopathic formulations in that regard. While some individuals express concern about homeopathic aggravation (temporary worsening of symptoms after taking a homeopathic medicine), there is little evidence for it in clinical studies. Regardless of Claritose's safety, it is always important to inform your health care provider about any self-medication you may use.
