In the 1940s, the average daily intake of fruits and vegetables provided us with sufficient amounts of nutritional silver that protected us from succumbing to illnesses like the flu, coughs, and colds(1). However, commercial farming practices have now caused mineral depletion in soils to reach alarmingly low levels that our dietary intake of silver may be deficient, leading to compromised immunity for some people.
In fact, 98% of the population may have a dysfunctional immune system(2).
Canadian Colloidal Silver™ is a safe, practically tasteless supplement that will prevent a person from becoming deficient in silver and thereby help improve his/her immunity(3).
Canadian Colloidal Silver™ does not accumulate in the liver nor kidneys. Our bodies only absorb about 10% of silver that we ingest(4), and only about 2-4% is metabolized and retained in bone and soft tissues(5). The rest is eliminated in the feces, urine, skin, and hair(6).
- studies have shown that there are no adverse effects to ingestion of silver supplements, like Canadian Colloidal Silver™ (7, 8), when taken as recommended. Anecdotal evidence suggests that for some individuals with acute or chronic conditions, exceeding the dosage listed on the label has resulted in positive outcomes for them.
