Does Colloidal Silver Particle Size Make A Difference When It Comes To Safety

When it comes to the safety of colloidal silver the most important thing you’ll want to know has to do with the silver particle size.

That being said, if you’re using colloidal silver externally, the particle size doesn’t matter at all when it comes to concerns about safety. It’s when you’re taking colloidal silver internally that you really want to make sure you’re taking a silver that has a specific particle size range.

Why Does Colloidal Silver Particle Size Matter?

The most widely known reason that it’s important to make sure you’re taking colloidal silver that is in a “safe particle size range” is to prevent a condition called Argyria.

Argyria is a condition where the skin turns a blue grey color, and it’s IRREVERSIBLE. This happens as larger particles of colloidal silver collects in the skin and react to light.

Silver Nitrate is a silver salt that is a form of silver that can be toxic in high doses, which some experts attribute particularly to silver nitrate creating larger particles of silver.

There are several other negative side effects associated with consuming large amounts of colloidal silver, and the larger the silver particle size the more likely the chance one might experience some of these side effects.

What’s The Safe Particle Size Range For Internal Use Of Colloidal Silver?

In a conversation I recently had with an expert on colloidal silver, I was informed that the safe range for colloidal silver particle size is between 1 and 100 nanometers.

When consuming silver in this particle size range, silver is pushed out of the body completely within 6 – 8 hours. This is what you want, as silver is not a nutrient and you don’t want it to be trapped in your body permanently.

So Is Colloidal Silver Really Safe For Internal Use?

In conclusion, although silver is something I use internally for myself and my family, I feel it’s my responsibility to let you know that I only recommend using silver internally if you are using a silver that is guaranteed to be in the safe particle size range of 1 – 100 nanometers.

Because of this I would not recommend you make your own colloidal silver at home unless you have some type of quality control to make sure you’re within the safe particle size range, or you only intend to use it Externally or Nebulize it.

Can I recommend a Colloidal Silver Within The Safe Particle Size Range?

I intend to make a longer list here, but as of now, I’ve only verified ONE company that makes a colloidal silver within the safe particle size range of 1 – 100 nanometers.

There may be hundreds of companies that produce safe colloidal silver, and I’ll let you know what I found out as I learn more about other colloidal silver producers.

For now, I feel good about referring you to Natural Path Silver Wings for your colloidal silver as they use an elemental silver for their colloidal silver that falls in the 1 – 10 nanometer range, so it’s well within the 1-100 nanometer safe range.

There silver is tested and if it doesn’t fall within 1-10 nanometers, it’s rejected.

I recommend you speak directly with the manufacturers of other brands of colloidal silver to make sure they are doing accurate testing on their colloidal silver to make sure it’s truly in the correct nanometer range.
