NOW Foods Silver Sol Liquid 8 fl oz

What NOW Foods Silver Sol Liquid is

NOW Foods Silver Sol is a liquid mineral supplement made from two ingredients: elemental silver at 10 parts per million, suspended in deionized water. The bottle holds 8 fl. oz. (237 mL), and a single 1-teaspoon (5 mL) serving provides 50 mcg of purified silver — roughly 47 servings in the bottle. The liquid itself is colorless and odorless, with no flavoring, coloring or preservative added.

The front of the bottle identifies it as a dietary supplement and marks it Vegetarian/Vegan and Non-GMO, and the bottle carries a Kosher K symbol. The side panel states that Silver Sol is made in the USA, and the back panel states that the product is manufactured using SilverSol Technology® and is covered under U.S. patents and patents pending. You will find it alongside the rest of our Supplements range.

What's inside

The ingredient list is about as short as a supplement label gets — there are exactly two entries on the panel, and one of them is water.

• Purified Silver, 50 mcg per serving (10 ppm). Silver is a naturally occurring metallic element. Here it is present in elemental form at a concentration of 10 parts per million, which works out to 10 micrograms of silver in every milliliter of liquid — so the 5 mL teaspoon serving carries 50 mcg. The Supplement Facts panel marks this figure with an asterisk and states that a Daily Value has not been established, meaning no official reference intake has been set for silver.
• Deionized water. The panel lists this as the sole "other ingredient". Deionized water is water that has had its dissolved mineral ions stripped out, which is why it is used as a carrier where nothing but the active material is wanted in the bottle.

Because silver has no established Daily Value and no recommended intake, general background on how dietary supplement labels are written and regulated is more useful here than any single ingredient page. The NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database catalogs the label content of products sold in the United States, and the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements publishes a plain-language guide to what you need to know about dietary supplements. Neither is connected to this product or to Gear Isle.

Supplement Facts

How to use it

The label directs adults to take 1 teaspoon, 1 to 3 times daily as needed. That is the whole of the suggested usage printed on the bottle — there is no instruction to take it with food, with water, or at a particular time of day. A teaspoon is 5 mL, so a standard measuring spoon is all the equipment required.

The label also sets a limit on how long it is used: it instructs that the product not be consumed continuously for more than 2 weeks of each month. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place after opening, and do not exceed the recommended dose.

Who it's for

Silver Sol is for adults who specifically want a silver mineral supplement and prefer the shortest possible ingredient list. The two-ingredient composition makes it straightforward for people who read labels closely and want to know exactly what is in the bottle, and the Vegetarian/Vegan and Non-GMO marking on the front will matter to shoppers filtering on those grounds. It sits in our broader Health & Wellness selection.

The 8 fl. oz. bottle holds about 47 teaspoon servings, so it suits someone who already knows how they use silver and would rather restock less often. It is intended for adults only. The label states it is not recommended for use in children, and that it should not be used by anyone who is pregnant or nursing.

Good to know

• Adults only. The label states the product is not recommended for use in children, and instructs that it not be used if you are pregnant or nursing.
• Usage limit. The label instructs that the product not be consumed continuously for more than 2 weeks of each month, and that the recommended dose not be exceeded.
• Talk to your physician first if you take medication or have a medical condition. The label says so explicitly.
• Allergens. The panel states the product is not manufactured with yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients, and that it is produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens.
• Keep out of reach of children, and store in a cool, dry place after opening.

The NIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health keeps a general page on dietary and herbal supplements that is worth reading before adding anything new to a routine, particularly alongside prescription medication.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is actually in NOW Foods Silver Sol?

Two things: purified elemental silver and deionized water. The Supplement Facts panel lists purified silver at 50 mcg per serving as the only entry under "Amount Per Serving", and deionized water as the only "other ingredient". There are no added flavors, colors, sweeteners or preservatives.

How much silver is in one serving?

One 1-teaspoon (5 mL) serving contains 50 mcg of purified silver. That reflects the 10 parts-per-million concentration printed on the front of the bottle. The panel marks the figure with an asterisk to show that no Daily Value has been established for silver.

How is Silver Sol taken?

Adults take 1 teaspoon, 1 to 3 times daily as needed, measured with a standard 5 mL measuring spoon. The label adds that the product should not be consumed continuously for more than 2 weeks of each month, and that the recommended dose should not be exceeded.

Is this bottle vegan and gluten-free?

The front of the bottle is marked Vegetarian/Vegan, and the back panel states the product is not manufactured with gluten among a list of common allergens. That same panel notes it is produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing those allergens, so anyone with a severe sensitivity should weigh that shared-facility statement.
