Hi Utopia Silver,

Hi Lois,
The shelf life can be indefinite if kept at a warmer temperature; extreme cold can cause the colloids to either agglomerate (clump) or even fall out if frozen.
How much to use is a difficult question. If simply using as an essential trace mineral maintenance, a couple of teaspoons per day generally suffice and over time can maintain a level capable of boosting your immune system. The problem is as with all minerals, depletion is a constant thing and accelerates with intense activity especially that which causes one to sweat.
I do about a 1/2oz. per day unless I feel a bug coming on then I will do several ounces a couple of times a day for several days. That is generally all it takes for me, but my silver level probably stays fairly high. If one is dealing with issues such as Crohn’s, Hep-C, or Candidiasis, or any other systemic issues, it generally takes much more than if handling a cold or stomach bug. You simply must get enough into your ‘system’ for it to come in contact with the one-celled organisms causing the problems.
The Life solution is simply 50% gold and 50% silver; there are some indications that gold enhances the body’s utilization of silver.
We have a very good Arthritis product called Joint Care. It has done wonders for me and one of our shipping ladies who wore braces on both wrists, but after a month or so of Joint Care use was able to leave them at home. If she goes a period of time without the Joint Care and the ache starts to return, she simply resumes her use. http://www.utopiasilver.com/products/supplements/liquid_life_ultra_joint_care.htm
