How to Take Cell Salts: A Guide to Pellets, Drops & Dosages
If you’re new to cell salts, one of the first questions you might have is: “How do I actually take these?”
Fortunately, cell salts (also called tissue salts or Dr. Schuessler cell salts) are designed to be simple, safe, and easy to use. No matter if you choose pellets or drops, the process is straightforward. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know.
Pellets vs. Drops: Which Should You Choose?
Cell salts usually come in two forms:
Pellets
-
Tiny, sweet-tasting tablets that dissolve under your tongue.
-
Convenient and portable. Perfect for carrying in your bag or pocket.
-
A good choice if you like the classic, traditional format.
Drops (Liquid)
-
Dissolve quickly in water or can be taken directly.
-
Ideal if you prefer not to use tablets
-
Easy for people who have trouble dissolving pellets.
Both are equally effective. It just comes down to what’s easiest for you and your lifestyle.
6X vs. 8X: What Do the Numbers Mean?
The numbers on a cell salt bottle show how many times the original mineral has been diluted and prepared. At Bestmade, our cell salts are available in 6X and 8X potencies.
-
6X: The most common strength. Gentle, safe, and ideal for everyday use.
-
8X: Slightly stronger, often chosen when you want deeper-acting support.
If you’re new, start with 6X, it’s the standard and works well for most people.
