Colloidal Silver

There are no indications for using supplemental silver. The Food and Drug Administration issued a final rule establishing that all over-the-counter products containing Colloidal Silver ingredients or silver salts for external or internal use are not generally recognized as safe and effective and are misbranded in 1999. The FDA states that it is "not aware of any substantial scientific evidence that supports the use of OTC colloidal silver ingredients or silver salts for these disease conditions."

Supplemental Colloidal Silver is not recommended for anyone. Prolonged intake of Colloidal Silver can cause argyria, a condition in which the skin of the entire body assumes a blue-gray discoloration. Argyria is permanent and irreversible and also affects the cheeks, gums, and lips. This website is intended to educate and inform, and should not replace discussions with your doctor.
