Cell Salt Dosing Guide: How to Take Tissue Cell Salts for Wellness and Acute Support

Comprehensive Guide to Cell Salt Dosing

How to start, how to adjust, and how to build a simple routine.

This page expands on our label instructions and gives practical plans for:

• Wellness and long-term support (chronic patterns)
• Acute support (more frequent for a shorter time)
• Using more than one cell salt without it getting overwhelming

As always, everyone is different. This guide is educational and not medical advice.

Key Dosing Principles and Basic Guidelines

Start simple

If you start with several salts at once, it can be hard to know what is doing what. Starting with one cell salt (or the 12-in-1) helps you notice changes more clearly, keeps things gentle for sensitive systems, and makes it easier to build a routine you can stick with.

A simple plan done consistently is usually more effective than a complicated plan done inconsistently.

Frequency matters more than quantity

With cell salts, it’s usually better to increase the frequency (how often you take them) rather than increasing the number of pellets at once.

• 4 pellets once daily can feel like gentle, maintenance support
• 4 pellets 2–3 times daily tends to feel more active and targeted

If you want to increase the “strength” of your routine, most people get better results by adding an extra dose rather than taking more pellets per dose.

Standard dose guidelines

Adults:

• Standard dose: 4 pellets
• Half dose: 2 pellets
• Wellness or chronic patterns: 1–3 times per day
• Acute situations: 3–5 times per day (short term)

Children:

• Under 12: 2 pellets per dose
• Sensitive children: 1 pellet (half-dose)
• Under 5: dissolving pellets in a small amount of water can be helpful

How to take pellets:

Let pellets dissolve slowly in the mouth. If possible, take them away from strong flavors (mint, coffee).

Dosing Plans by Situation

1 Cell Salt for Wellness or Persistent Patterns

Simple, sustainable long-term support.

This is for long-term goals, general balance, and patterns present for weeks, months, or years.

5 days on / 2 days off (simple cycling)

Days 1–5: Take 1–3 times per day

Days 6–7: Rest days (no cell salts)

Repeat

Many people find rest days helpful because they allow the body to reset and make it easier to assess changes.

How long should I try one salt?

A practical guideline: try one salt (or the 12-in-1) for 1–2 weeks, assess changes, and adjust frequency before adding another salt.

1 Cell Salt for Acute Patterns

Short-term, more frequent support.

Acute situations are sudden or temporary patterns where people often take cell salts more frequently for a short period, then taper down quickly.

Common acute approach

Take 4 pellets every few hours while awake, or about 3–5 times per day, for 24–72 hours.
As improvement begins, reduce frequency and stop once settled.

Simple tapering example

• Start: 4 pellets, 3x/day
• About 30% improvement: reduce to 2x/day
• About 60–70% improvement: reduce to 1x/day
• Once stable: stop or return to gentle maintenance

Taking 2 or More Cell Salts

Combining salts can be very helpful once you know cell salts are a good fit. The key is to avoid turning your routine into complicated “pellet math.”

2 cell salts for wellness (not taken on the same day)

Alternate days

Day 1: Cell salt A

Day 2: Cell salt B

Repeat, with rest days as needed

This is a great strategy for sensitive individuals.

Alternate weeks

Week 1: Cell salt A (Days 1–5), rest (Days 6–7)

Week 2: Cell salt B (Days 8–12), rest (Days 13–14)

Repeat

This makes it very easy to notice what each salt is doing.

2 cell salts for wellness (taken on the same day)

Space them out (simple and easy to track)

Take cell salt A in the morning and cell salt B in the evening. This is often the best approach when you’re using the two salts for different goals, or if you’re trying to figure out which one is helping most.

Take together using half-doses (combo approach)

Instead of taking 4 pellets of each salt, take 2 pellets of Cell salt A + 2 pellets of Cell salt B together. This approach tends to work best when both salts are being used for the same general pattern or goal, since they’re working in the same direction.

One reason our standard dose is 4 pellets is that it splits neatly into halves, which makes combinations more flexible and easier to manage.

2+ cell salts for acute situations

In acute patterns, combinations are sometimes used short term. A simple approach is to take half-doses of each salt together more frequently for a couple of days, then taper down as improvement begins.

Again, combo dosing works best when the salts are being used for the same acute pattern. If you’re trying to address different goals at the same time, spacing doses out through the day (or alternating days) is often easier and more consistent.

4+ cell salts

Practical strategy

Focus on up to four salts for a period of time, taper down once you see improvement, and then shift to a different set if needed. Trying to address everything at once can sometimes lead to inconsistency, and inconsistency usually leads to fewer results.

Simple rotation option

If you do want to take four salts, one simple approach is to rotate: take two cell salts one day and two cell salts the next day, and repeat.

Examples of Common Combos

These are traditional pairing examples people explore. They are not meant to diagnose or treat disease.

• Ferr Phos + Kali Mur  (early cold patterns)
• Calc Phos + Calc Fluor + Silica  (bones, teeth, connective tissue support)
• Mag Phos + Kali Phos  (cramping and nervous system tension)

Troubleshooting and Sensitivity Tips

“I feel sensitive”

Start slower. Consider taking:

• 1 dose per day instead of 2–3
• fewer pellets (1–2)
• alternating days at first

“I don’t notice anything”

Try:

• increasing frequency
• trying a different salt
• staying consistent for 1–2 weeks before deciding

Often the first changes are subtle: sleep, mood, resilience.
