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.
An organization called the Silver Safety Committee has created an interactive online tool to help people determine a safe dose, whether for daily intake or for short-term use for relief of symptoms of illness. The tool asks for information (total body weight and ppm strength in the supplement) and provides the optimum dose in drops. A therapeutic will be significantly less than the 'safe' level established by the US EPA.
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.
As with any supplement, there are standard dosages and uses as well as extreme methods practiced by those who may or may not know what they are doing. The advice of health professionals and of reputable manufacturers is generally more to be trusted than anecdotal or 'fringe' advice.
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.
Taking the correct dose is key to success with this beneficial mineral. People treat eye infections, skin problems, fungus infections, burns, acne, and staph with it. Many claim it is effective against SARS, MRSA, the 'bird flu', and Ebola. Millions feel that their first aid kit or home medicine cabinet is incomplete without it.
