Establish A Safe And Effective Colloidal Silver Dosage

By Ruthie Calderon


When using dietary supplements, consumers must study individual nutrients and understand the supplement industry at large. This allows them to gain the knowledge necessary to make wise choices. There is no supplement - or substance, for that matter - that is completely safe. (Any vitamin, mineral, or food taken in excessive amounts can cause harm. This is true for water, for over the counter medications like aspirin, and for foods like french fries.) Using the correct colloidal silver dosage can unlock this mineral's benefits.

First of all, consumers must know what they are taking. Since the dietary supplement industry attracts huge amounts of money, many unsound companies offer inferior products. Various forms of silver are sold under the term 'colloidal', including less desirable ionic silvers and silver proteins. True colloidal silver is a particulate form of the mineral in suspension, sold in dilutions of parts per million (ppm). Selecting companies that reliably provide pure and correctly-labeled products can help consumers get high-quality, safe nutrients.

Silver is not an essential mineral, like calcium, iron, and magnesium. This means that it does not need to be provided in the diet. People have used it for centuries, however, for its antibiotic action against bacteria, yeasts, and germs. Millions all over the world take it as a supplement and benefit from its use in water purification systems.

The Silver Safety Committee is an organization dedicated to helping consumers learn about silver, the correct dosage for short or long term use, and the proper way to take this mineral. The interactive tool on their website uses a consumer's body weight and the ppm strength of a formula to determine the correct number of drops to take daily. The 'safe' level set by the US EPA is much higher than most recommended doses.

Products vary from 5 ppm to 500 ppm, so careful reading of the manufacturer's recommendations is essential. Some contain other substances, while others provide only the mineral in a carrier liquid. Most formulas are designed for oral use, but others are topical or delivered by other methods.

Other methods to supply this mineral for therapy are considered unusual and controversial. Seeking the advice of health care and/or medical professionals can keep consumers from following advice that may not be supported by years of use or by well-conducted studies. Working with manufacturers with a good reputation in the industry is safer than dealing with unknowns on the internet or buying an unfamiliar product off a store shelf.

One dosage recommendation found online is one tablespoon of 5 ppm colloidal solution daily, preferably in divided doses. Most products are sold in 10 ppm potency, so the amount to be taken would be halved. Daily use boosts resistance to illness in general. A higher dose may be needed for recovery, but it will be taken for a short time only. No one should exceed the 'saturation point', when their systems have all the mineral they can absorb and use. Exceeding this level may cause skin irritations and rashes; simply decrease the dose slightly until these go away.

When taken properly, this mineral does good, not harm. Many people never want to be without it to treat sore throats, fungus infections, yeast infections, burns, eye problems, and staph infections. It is reported to fight SARS, the 'bird flu', MRSA, and even Ebola. Manufacturers add it to shampoos and soaps, to skin salves, and to pet products. It is used in ceramic water filters around the world, and helps many cities provide safe drinking water to their inhabitants.
