The Scoop on Colloidal Silver

Colloidal silver is a suspension of silver particles in a liquid base, typically water. It has been promoted as a remedy for various health conditions. The use of silver for its medicinal and antimicrobial properties can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as the Greeks and Romans. They used silver containers to store liquids and believed that silver could help preserve food and water, making them safer to consume.

In the 19th Century, colloidal silver gained popularity, with silver being used in various forms to combat infections and promote health. During this time, silver nitrate and silver compounds were commonly used for their antimicrobial properties, both topically and internally. At this time, there were fewer antibiotics available, so silver was seen as a potential treatment for a range of infections.

Flash forward a century later, and colloidal silver experienced a resurgence in popularity, driven in part by alternative medicine advocates who promoted it as a dietary supplement for various health benefits.

The health benefits of colloidal silver include:

  • Antimicrobial and antibacterial properties
  • Antiviral
  • Support the immune system
  • Wound care
  • Respiratory health
  • Eye health
  • Antifungal

As with any nutritional product, if you're considering using colloidal silver for any health condition, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional.
