The maximum number of drops of a silver supplement to consume per day when using it on an ongoing daily basis every day of your whole life
(up to 70 years or 25,567 days of ongoing daily use)

The combined total of your “daily use” amounts (#1) and your “short-term use” amounts (#2) should not exceed the total shown for your “entire lifetime” (#3).

The maximum number of drops of a silver supplement to consume per day when using it on a short-term basis for short-term goals as desired

Most people use silver supplements not on a daily basis but rather only when they feel the need. As a general guideline, try to limit your usage
at this “short-term use” level to about 10 days per month.

The combined total of your “daily use” amounts (#1) and your “short-term use” amounts (#2) should not exceed the total shown for your “entire lifetime” (#3).

The maximum total number of drops of a silver supplement to consume
over your entire lifetime.

You should not consume large quantities of silver in a short period of time. The EPA RfD refers to ongoing daily use for 70 years (#1). The body needs time to assimilate and eliminate what it needs to, which is the reason to also follow the general guideline for short-term use (#2). This figure in #3 represents the “daily use” limit (#1) used every day for 70 years. While it’s impractical to precisely monitor your entire lifetime usage, this figure provides a useful guideline for responsible usage limits. (It also shows how generally safe silver supplements are, since very few people will ever approach this level with responsible use throughout their entire lifetime.)
