Canadian Colloidal Silver™ 22ppm Twist Cap

Adults (14+ years), 2.5 mL (1/2 tsp), 1-3x/day

Do not use if you are pregnant or nursing, or allergic to silver. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you have advanced chronic liver disease. Overuse may decrease selenium levels. Individuals with known aluminum systemic toxicity may experience a pseudo-fever reaction if the product is taken contrary to directions due to an exothermic reaction between aluminum and suspended mineral elements. Keep out of reach of children.

Canadian Colloidal Silver™ is a safe daily dietary supplement. It is non-toxic(1) and scientific studies have shown that there are no adverse effects associated with ingestion of silver supplements like Canadian Colloidal Silver™(1,2), when taken as recommended. It does not kill good bacteria(3) nor cause argyria (greying of the skin)(4). It is not known to be a cumulative toxin(2).

Canadian Colloidal Silver™ has been safely consumed for over a decade without any safety concerns by Health Canada. It is nearly impossible to ingest too much dietary silver when it is taken as recommended. The U.S. Environmental Protections Agency (EPA) established a safe maximum dose consumed over 70 years for a person who weighs 154 pounds(5):

Safe Maximum Lifetime Dosage:

Canadian Colloidal Silver™ 22 ppm – 191 litres

This has a built-in safety factor of 10. Which means that there is no risk of developing argyria even if consumption of Canadian Colloidal Silver™ (22 ppm) exceeds 1,910 litres over a lifetime.

(4) Cases of argyria reported on the internet resulted from the intake of impure silver supplements made from home kits.

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.
