It is said that you should not drink MMS2 directly, but I have a general question and maybe someone can tell me more.

This product consists of calcium hypochlorite and silver chloride to disinfect water and make it more durable. The composition of the calcium hypochlorite is 24 mg/g. That would be 24% right? 
www.amazon.de/Katadyn-Micropur-Forte-MF-10000P/dp/B000S0FG5Q/ref=sr_1_6?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&dchild=1&keywords=wasser+desinfizieren&qid=1615761348&sr=8-6

If I use e.g. 68-70% calcium hypochlorite without silver chloride I should be able to drink the water directly afterwards or not (after approximately 2 hours of operation-time)?

1 g powder is recommended per 100 liters. If I calculate that down to one liter then that would be 0.01 g of the powder. But since 68% calcium hypochlorite is stronger, one must then dose even less into the water right?

So if I add about 0.003 g of calcium hypochlorite at 68-70% to a liter of water it should be disinfected and also directly drinkable (after approximately 2 hours of operation-time).

Can anyone tell me more about this or if I am right/wrong?

What you are proposing may be correct. But, since that method is not in Jim Humble's books, we don't have any experience with it. Jim suggests to take MMS2 powder in capsules according to Protocols 2000 and 4000.
