Andy: A Great question indeed. I think this has to be evaluated based on the substance you're trying to load with.
As an example, the drug form of Lithium is very bioavailable yet not very bioactive. You have to load the body very close to toxic levels in order to achieve the desired effect. Lithium Orotate is actually less bioavailable but far move bioactive ( from what I understand and have observed with Manic depressive syndrome ). Taking 120 milligrams yields 5 milligrams of available lithium, but one does not need to load the body anywhere near levels of toxicity to achieve the effect. You can dump quite a bit of Vitamin B-12 into the body and still not achieve the same effect of small amounts taken sublingually. The body still has to deal with the consequences of ingestion, regardless of how active it is in the body. The problem I have with many supplements: In concentrated form, they stress the digestive system and have an impact on liver function. The acidic preservatives used have a PH consequence in the body. Problems with vitamin and mineral deficiency often have to do with digestive and elimination problems to begin with, and thus a solution that includes addressing these issues is advantageous -- not one that increases the problem. I'm certainly not an expert; I don't know if there is really an expert! I also don't personally consider silver products as supplements, but rather as medicinal substances. I like the idea behind products such as Sea Silver and Clark's minerals. I'm extremely fond of colloids! If we could develop colloids that were very close to life, then I think we'd be getting somewhere. Unfortunately, the primary problem is preserving them.

I'm assuming that means a substance can be utilized more efficiently or that a higher percentage is absorbed into the body. If that is the case, why spend the long buck on a bioactive supplement when you can get a lot more of the generic stuff for a lot less money? If I take a higher dose of something that isn't absorbed quite as well, doesn't it all work out in the wash? I'm not talking about chewing up oyster shells to get calcium, I'm thinking of quality generics. Just curious about your thoughts on the subject. Best Regards, Andy From: Jason Eaton Andy: <snip> It sounds like Sea Silver should be both more bioavailable and bioactive. I imagine that it probably suffices as a supplement, but for the price, I think one is best served doing far deeper research to get some real value for the amount of money spent.
