Ferr Phos and Inflammation

Ferrum phosphoricum (Ferr phos) is an important mineral salt related to carrying oxygen in the blood. According to Dr. Schuessler and other homeopathic references, anemia, congestion, the starts of inflammations and fevers, muscular sprains, and strains are all related to an imbalance of this salt in the body. This formulation by Jackson’s Naturals contains Schuessler Cell Salt #4 Ferrum phosphate (Ferr phos 6X) DIN-HM 80083315 and is used as a homeopathic supplement.

Produced in pellet form, each formulation is made of the active ingredient at 6X strength (a potently diluted formula), plus 100% pure sucrose. It is Certified Vegan (by Vegan.org), lactose-free and contains no additives or fillers. Each batch is made according to the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States (HPUS) and tested for quality and safety before sale.

Cell Salts Are Mineral Microdoses

Traditional cell salts are low potency homeopathic remedies made to a 6X potency.


6X was Dr. Schuessler’s favorite strength for cell salts because of their quick absorption and bioavailability when taken orally.

Now commonly known as micro-dosing, cell salts are the original mineral micro-dosing method to encourage your body to optimally regulate and balance mineral salts (aka cell or tissue salts) essential to cellular health.

Cell salts are different from your traditional vitamin or supplement as they are not intended to be used as a replacement for your body's endogenous creation of these minerals. The goal with cell salts is to use a micro-dose to stimulate the body to better regulate those mineral levels itself.


“Restoration of the cell, and thereby of the body, will result from restoration of the deficit of the inorganic salts." – Dr. W. Schuessler (1898)

About Dr. Schuessler and his discovery of mineral cell (tissue) salts

Mineral cell salts were first developed by Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler, a 19th century German doctor. Dr. Schuessler discovered the health-supporting effect of several mineral salts, that were then developed homeopathically for assimilation by individual cells in the body. Dr. Schüssler concluded that many illnesses are caused by an imbalance of minerals in single cells. Because many mineral salts, taken in concentrated form, cannot find their way to the single cells, Dr. Schüssler adapted the idea of the diluting of substances like in homoeopathy. Strongly diluted, the mineral salts find their way through the digestive/circulatory systems to be assimilated within the cells. There, they can adjust the imbalance and trigger each cell to increase mineral salt intake if needed until they are well-supplied and functioning optimally. Because the mineral salts work inside the cells, they are called “cell salts” or “tissue salts.”

FAQs about our cell salts

How do I get started taking cell salts?

If you have never taken cell salts (aka tissue salts, Schuessler salts) before, you may want to consider taking Jackson's 12 in 1 Cell Salt Combination first. It is an overall tonic to help naturally improve energy levels and mineral absorption. If you respond well to it then you can start to explore the individual cell salts #1 - 12 for more specific concerns. If you are certain about which particular individual salt you wish to take, then you will be able to follow the directions on the bottle for the standard approach to cell salt dosing. Most people come to homeopathic remedies like cell salts because they have sensitive systems and cell salts tend to be tolerated well.

Ideal conditions to take a cell salt

  • BEFORE: The most important thing before taking a homeopathic remedy like a cell salt is to take it on a neutral mouth, i.e., there are no strong flavors or tastes. Neutral. You can rinse your mouth well with clean water beforehand to help.
  • DURING: Let pellets dissolve under and around the tongue.
  • AFTER: Wait 5 minutes before drinking water. Try to wait 15 minutes for food or other beverages. Longer for strong flavors like coffee, curry, peppermint. The cell salt is being absorbed via the mouth so as long as we can wait for it to do that, the better.

How to get started taking tissue salts if you are sensitive

  • Go slowly. Start with one cell salt (we suggest Jackson's 12 in 1 if you are just getting started) and see how it goes.
  • Reduce the dose. Take 2 pellets instead of 4.
  • Dissolve dose in water. Stir well in a small amount of water (50 ml) before drinking. Hold liquid in mouth for 15-30 seconds before swallowing.
  • Give enough time for absorption. Wait 15 minutes before and after dissolving in mouth before eating or drinking. Water is fine 5 minutes after or right before taking.
  • Use a pure cell salt brand. If you are sensitive, there is a good chance you could react to lactose and the other fillers and additives in other cell salt brands. Jackson's Mineral Salts is proud to be the only Certified Vegan (vegan.org) Schuessler Cell Salt brand in the world.

Can I take more than one cell salt at a time?

The ideal would be to take one cell salt at a time but it is safe to combine and take multiple. We recommend one at a time so it’s easier for you to assess its results and so you can be more sure of what is helping and what is not. Start with one cell salt that matches your main complaint. Take it for 1-2 weeks and assess how it’s going before adding another cell salt.

This is an essential pillar of classical homeopathic philosophy that is unique from most other natural health modalities: More is not better. One well-selected remedy is better than many half-selected ones. Jackson’s Mineral Salts are in a 6x potency which is very gentle strength to use at home and to combine.

Good general starting protocol with 1 cell salt:

  • Day 1-5 : Take 1-3 times per day
  • Day 6-7 : Rest days (no cell salts).
  • Example: Take 1 cell salt three times per day on Monday to Friday, take rest days on the weekend.

Now of course situations can come up and you may not have time to just take one at a time, there are complementary sequences of cell salts, good combinations to try, and advice from your health practitioner about dosing. This is all good to do too! We are passionate about helping you incorporate cell salts and common homeopathic remedies in your everyday health so you can see for yourself just how well it can work. Find what works for you.

For those who really want to start 2 cell salts instead of one. Here are two protocols to consider trying:

Cell Salt Protocol A:

  • Day 1-5 : Cell Salt 1 3 times per day
  • Day 6-7 : Rest day (no cell salt)
  • Day 8-13 : Cell Salt 2 3 times per day
  • Day 14-15 : Rest day
  • Repeat

Cell Salt Protocol B:

  • Day 1 Cell Salt 1: 3 times per day
  • Day 2 Cell Salt 2: 3 times per day
  • Repeat, take a couple days off here and there.

An important point on dosing of homeopathic remedies like cell salts that is different from the usual way of taking health products is to always reduce the frequency of dosage when you notice improvement and stop taking when things have significantly improved or resolved. For example, you start taking a cell salt and after a week your symptoms improve by 30%, for the following week you would take it only 2 times per day, when 60-70% improved 1 time per day.

Cell Salt Booster

The other way to take cell salts is to take as a booster to help your body better absorb nutrients from your general diet, supplements, and vitamins.

For example, consider taking Magnesium phosphate 15-30 minutes before or after taking Magnesium, Calcium phosphate 15-30 minutes before or after taking Calcium, and Ferrum phosphate 15-30 minutes before or after taking Iron.

Every person and constitution is different and you should always consult with your health care practitioner about your health complaints or when starting a new regime. This is for informational purposes and does not constitute medical advice.

When do I stop taking cell salts?

As with all homeopathic remedies, you can stop taking cell salts when your symptoms improve and diminish. If your symptoms return you can take again as before. If you are taking it as a daily supplemental support, stop taking when your levels are normal again and consider taking weekly breaks. For example, take 5 days on (Mon-Fri), 2 days off (Sat-Sun). You can stop taking at any time since it is safe to stop taking suddenly.

When should I take 12 in 1 and when should I take single cell salts?

Take Jackson’s 12-in-1 daily or as directed by your health professional to help with energy levels, mineral and electrolyte absorption, and overall well-being. It can be a good place to start if you are new to cell salts and want to see how your body responds. Deciding whether you should take a 12 in 1 cell salt or an individual salt is a personal decision. Jackson’s 12 in 1 is good to take as an overall tonic and for general energy support. All twelve cell salts work together as one product when you take it. Therefore, it is a singular combined effect of all salts because they are all working together.

On the other hand, each single cell salt has its own sphere of action so when you take them individually, it can act independently. Thus, individual cell salts are very good for more targeted issues and results. In other words, when you take more than one salt at a time (or a 12 in 1) the action is different than if you just took one specific cell salt because they work in combination with one another instead of working in their area of focus. For example, let's take #4 Ferrum phosphate, which can aid the body in regulating iron, among other things. On it's own, it has a specific action in that area of the body. However, in the 12 in 1 preparation, Ferrum phosphate works in relation to the other eleven salts and to what the body needs overall. Therefore it's action is more generalized and less targeted.

Therefore, a good rule of thumb would be to take the 12 in 1 when there is nothing specific you are trying to address and want something for overall health. It is best to take individual salts for specific self-treatable complaints

What do I do if I've counteracted the cell salt?

It's simple, repeat the cell salt. If the counteraction is happening regularly, consider your daily habits and what could be adjusted to prevent this.

Can I drink coffee when I take cell salts and homeopathic remedies?

Yes and no. It depends on your tolerance to caffeine. Anything (like coffee) that causes your nervous system to overreact (shaking hands, racing heart, racing thoughts, etc.) should be avoided whenever possible. This could cause a counteraction. Anything that overwhelms your nervous system can counteract the remedy. Dental procedures, anesthetic, and other stimulants are common examples. If you have one cup of coffee in the morning and that's been your routine for years, then there is usually no problem. If your doctor has advised you stay away from caffeine, then continue to do that.

If you happen to counteract the cell salt, simply repeat the cell salt under more ideal conditions. If you regularly counteract the salt, consider a change in habits or routine to optimize results.

How are your cell salts vegan and lactose-free?

Sucrose pellets: Did you know not all sugar is vegan? The sucrose used for our pellets is derived from beets and is NOT filtered with bone char like most cane sugar is.

Lactose-free: Lactose is a common compounding ingredient in conventional and homeopathic pharmacies alike. We made a conscious decision to NOT use lactose at all in the processing, manufacturing, and in the final product when we launched Jackson’s Mineral Salts.

No animal testing: None of our products are tested on animals, ever.

How much sugar and carbohydrates are in your cell salts?⁠

Our pellets are very small. Each amber glass bottle of Jackson’s Mineral Salts contains at least 500 pellets and has 20-22g of pellets per bottle. Doing the math, that means each pellet contains approximately 40-44mg of sugar. How small is that? It's 1/105 of a teaspoon of sugar (4.2g).⁠ ⁠Not only that, but did you know that our pellets are made from organic, Kosher, non-GMO beet sugar? The beets used to make the pellets are grown organically in Europe.

Can I take the cell salts if I am intermittent fasting?

Sugars are part of the carbohydrates group. There are 4 calories in 1g of sugar. Each bottle of Jackson’s Cell Salts contains approximately 500 pellets or 20-22g of sugar. That works out to 0.176 calories per pellet or 0.7 calories per standard dose of 4 pellets. If you believe that breaking the fast is consuming over 1g carbs, then it is safe to have Jackson's Mineral Salts during intermittent fasting.

Why do you use sugar as the base for your tissue salts and not use a liquid or lactose tablet format?

We chose beet sucrose as the base for our cell salts because it is as shelf stable as lactose but is clean, traceable, and plant-based. We can trace where the beets were grown to make the pellets and can verify they were grown organically. Traceability and transparency about ingredients and how they are processed is of the utmost importance to us. This helps ensure the purest and most potent cell salts available. Another reason for not using lactose as the base for our tissue cell salts is to accommodate people with lactose allergies.

We chose sucrose pellets (or ‘dry dose’ in homeopathic terms) because if stored correctly in its amber glass bottle, they can last indefinitely with potency preserved.

You can easily dissolve our pellets in a small amount of water if you want to take as a ‘wet dose’. For even quicker dissolving of the pellets, crush them between two spoons before putting in the water. Stir vigorously and then take sips as needed. Hold the liquid in your mouth for 15-30 seconds before swallowing. Viola, custom liquid dose!

How are cell salts different from vitamins and supplements?

“Restoration of the cell, and thereby of the body, will result from restoration of the deficit of the inorganic salts." – Dr. W. Schuessler (1898)

Cell salts are mineral microdoses

Traditional cell salts are low potency homeopathic remedies made to a 6X potency. 6X was Dr. Schuessler’s favorite strength for cell salts because of their quick absorption and bioavailability when taken orally. Now commonly known as micro-dosing, cell salts are the original mineral micro-dosing method to encourage your body to optimally regulate and balance mineral salts (aka cell or tissue salts) essential to cellular health.

Cell salts are different from your traditional vitamin or supplement as they are not intended to be used as a replacement for your body's endogenous creation of these minerals. The goal with cell salts is to use a micro-dose to stimulate the body to better regulate those mineral levels itself.

Should I take the cell salts with or without food?⁠

For best results the cell salts should be taken at least 20 minutes before or after food or strong flavored fluids. If this is difficult to remember then you can take them 5-10 minutes before or after food.⁠ Remember to dissolve the pellets under the tongue. The salts are absorbed sublingually and you need to give enough time for them to dissolve completely before ingesting anything further.

Some of the pellets in my bottle are completely white and some are translucent, is this normal?

It is completely normal for our sucrose pellets to have a range in appearance from translucent to solid white. This is because the sucrose is derived from beets and isn’t filtered with bone char, like sucrose from sugar cane usually is.

Any tips for dispensing pellets?

We recommend using the lid of the bottle and gently shaking or tapping the bottle to get a couple pellets into the cap. Then you can simply empty the lid into your mouth and dissolve the pellets under your tongue.⁠

Why do some of the pellets stick inside the bottle?

Jackson's cell salts do not contain any anti-caking agents or additives so from time to time it is normal for them to slightly stick to the bottom. To loosen the pellets before dispensing, with the bottle fully closed, lightly tap the lid of the bottle on a hard surface or on the palm of your hand. That will loosen them and enable easier dispensing and dosing.

What potency are your cell salts in?

Jackson’s Mineral Salts are in a 6x potency. At this time, we do not offer cell salts in other strengths like 12x, 30x. 6x was viewed by Dr. Schuessler as the most readily assimilated potency to give cell salts in and is a good potency for any self-prescriber or at home user.

How are your cell salts manufactured?

Jackson’s Mineral Salts are made in small batches according to the Homoepathic Pharmacopiea of the United States (HPUS).

The HPUS establishes standards to ensure the pharmaceutical quality and safety of homeopathic remedies. It an extensive reference works of homeopathic remedies and their related analytical and manufacturing techniques.

Our cell salts are made in the USA by a reputable homeopathic manufacturer. We package our remedies in traditional amber glass bottles to preserve the maximum potency of the salts and to make a stand against single-use plastics.

What is the DIN-HM # on your bottles?⁠

Our products are licensed according to Health Canada regulations and the DIN-HM is the unique identifier for each product.⁠ "Homeopathic medicines are treated differently under the NHP (Natural Health Products) Regulations because they can contain or be manufactured from substances that are not otherwise regulated under the NHP Regulations.⁠ The unique designation for homeopathic medicines will help consumers identify the product as a homeopathic medicine. While similar to the requirements for NHPs, these products also have to meet specific Good Manufacturing Practices and unique standards of evidence."⁠

So you can be assured that you are purchasing what is claimed on the bottle and we are only using regulated ingredients. It was important to make sure we did the homework so that our customers can have peace of mind when purchasing.⁠
