Product Information

You can take up to one eyedropper full of colloidal silver per day as an additional source of support for treating acne. This should be used in conjunction with topical colloidal silver rather than as a standalone treatment. Applying a silver coating to specialized foam, as part of a wound vacuum system, provides antibacterial activity in vitro. According to research, this technology may assist in preparing infected chronic venous stasis wounds for skin grafting, ultimately leading to better healing. 3. Pink Eye/Ear Infections

Colloidal silver benefits many skins conditions as well, including psoriasis and eczema. It’s soothing to scrapes and even helps repair tissue damage from burns. There’s plenty of debate about the potential health risks of colloidal silver. Is it safe to use colloidal silver supplements or products? Further, no human data supports consuming colloidal silver to treat or prevent medical conditions like diabetes, cancer, HIV, digestive issues, and other illnesses ( 8). What the research indicates is that misuse of colloidal silver, or choosing inexpensive, low-quality products that are not true colloidal silver, can cause adverse side effects. For instance, you may have come across warnings about it causing an irreversible condition called argyria, which is when people turn blue. However, the environmental and health risks of silver nanoparticles aren’t well understood, and ingesting colloidal silver is considered unsafe.Silver-coated polyurethane NPWT sponge achieves a larger zone of bacterial inhibition than plain polyurethane sponge Patel S, Srivastava S, Singh MR, Singh D.

Commercially available colloidal silver solutions vary widely in their production methods, as well as the number and size of their silver particles. In many cases, these products are sold as dietary supplements and make false, misleading health claims ( 12) Summary Agyria isn’t reversible. Argyria by itself isn’t dangerous, and is defined as being “medically benign.” Of course, any skin discoloration isn’t exactly a welcome side effect.

Colloidal Silver is known to have anti-viral, antibacterial and anti-fungal properties and as you may imagine, this could have huge benefits from a health perspective.

Such silver nanoparticle-based gel dressings for wounds or even chronic wounds are becoming more common.

Is colloidal silver safe? Scientists have conducted several studies that indicate the safety and efficacy of colloidal silver when it’s used in appropriate amounts. Long-term and excessive use of silver nanoparticles may lead to adverse side effects, so it’s best not to exceed a 14-day treatment period. Tell all of your health care providers that you take silver. This includes your doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and dentists. The size of the silver particles in colloidal silver varies, but some are so tiny that they’re referred to as nanoparticles. This means that they’re less than 100 nanometers in size and invisible to the naked eye ( 6).

Binding with DNA: Shown to literally enter bacteria DNA, up to 12 percent of silver has been detected in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. According to one source, “While it remains unclear exactly how the silver binds to the DNA without destroying the hydrogen bonds holding the lattice together, it nevertheless prevents the DNA from unwinding, an essential step for cellular replication to occur.” Lastly, true silver colloids don’t contain any protein or other additives, as the vast majority of the silver content consists of nanometre-sized silver particles. This is the most effective type of colloidal silver. Is It Safe? Khansa I, Schoenbrunner AR, Kraft CT, Janis JE. Silver in wound care-friend or foe?: A comprehensive review.

Otherwise, the product is considered misbranded and is subject to regulatory action ( 3).

What are some other side effects of Silver?

This is because silver binds to the chemical terminal or side chains of amino groups i.e carboxyl and sulfhydryl groups. In one systematic review, three trials comparing topical SSD with placebo or inert dressings failed to show superiority in ulcer healing with SSD [ 56]. The same review evaluated six studies of silver-impregnated dressings; only one trial demonstrated a positive result for the silver arm [ 63], and the meta-analysis showed no overall benefit [ 56]. However, colloidal silver has been declared unsafe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 1999. In fact, the FDA deemed that all over-the-counter products that contain colloidal silver ingredients or silver salts are not generally recognized as safe or effective ( 1, 2). Colloidal silver is also claimed to promote healing of skin wounds. According to a 2007 study, silver-containing wound dressings are a more effective barrier against infection than other products that make similar claims. There isn’t enough research to determine whether or not it’s safe when taken for longer periods of time.
