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.

This mineral is not 'essential'; in other words, there is no daily minimum requirement for it or deficiency resulting from its absence in the body. However, it has been used for centuries and shown by modern research to be a natural antibiotic. Today, millions of people use it all over the world as a health aid, and many more benefit from its use in water purification.

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.

Solutions come in strength, from 5 to 500 ppm and possibly even stronger. The manufacturer should provide dosage directions on the label, as well as cautions. Some formulas are simply the colloidal mineral in a carrier solution, while others may have other therapeutic substances added. Most are designed to be taken orally, although there are topical products.

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.

For example, an online source may recommend one tablespoon of 5 ppm solution daily for resistance to illness. Most products are sold in 10 ppm strength, so the same result is achieved by halving the amount. A saturation dose - when the level in the body is all the system can absorb and use - should not be exceeded; if more is taken, rashes or skin irritations may result. These clear up rapidly when the daily intake is reduced slightly.

This mineral is harmless when taken properly. It is used for acne, eye infections, fungus, burns, and staph infections. Many report it to be effective against common illnesses as well as SARS, MRSA, the Avian flu, and even Ebola. It is a wise addition to any home medicine cabinet, first aid kit, or survival pack.
