How to Use Colloidal Silver: Overview & Dosage

Colloidal silver can be used two ways: a small daily amount as a dietary supplement, replenishing a trace mineral that is no longer found in our soils, or in larger short-term doses for targeted immune support when needed.

Which format for which job?

• Liquid, taken by mouth, for daily or short-term immune support.
• Topical support for the skin, great for minor cuts, burns, insect bites and breakouts: the pure Silver Spray or Gel, or with added botanical ingredients in our Skin Reset Spray and Colloidal Silver Cream.
• The Nasal Spray offers easy, localised immune support for the nose; the Silver Spray can also be used to soothe the throat.
• Drops for precise application to eyes, ears and nose.
• The Silver Spray also doubles as an additive-free, non-sticky hand or surface sanitiser.

Always follow the recommended usage instructions on the product label.

Dosage information

Short-term dose (acute)

Colloidal silver is perfectly suitable for short-term use, i.e. to assist the body during an acute need for immune support.
Adults, as a powerful support: 30 ml, 1 to 3 times daily for 4 to 7 days. Children under the age of 12 can take half the adult dose.

Long-term dose (chronic)

Suitable for ongoing immune assistance, if needed:
Adults: 10 to 20 ml, 1 to 3 times daily until a difference is noticed, normally within 1 month. Children under the age of 12 can take half the adult dose.

Finding your ideal dose: the incremental method

Health professionals have used this simple method for decades. Start with about 20 ml once daily and observe how you feel. If you notice no difference after a few days, add another 20 ml dose, up to 2 to 3 times daily, and hold that level for 4 to 7 days. Once you notice a difference, step the dose back down one increment at a time to find the smallest amount that works for you. As an ongoing nutritional dose, 5 to 10 ml once daily is plenty.

Starting comfortably

Colloidal silver supports the body's natural detoxification, and some users who start with large amounts report temporary headaches, tiredness or an unsettled stomach in the first days. This is sometimes called a cleansing or Herxheimer reaction. If it happens, simply reduce your dose for a few days and increase your water intake, then build up again gradually.

A tip for better absorption

Swishing the liquid in the mouth for about 30 seconds before swallowing helps absorption. Due to its ionic state, the silver is transported via the blood to where it is needed in the body. Drinking plenty of pure water daily supports the process.
