Colloidal Silver

Colloidal silver consists of tiny particles of silver suspended in a liquid, typically water. It's marketed as a supplement claiming to boost immunity and fight infections. Historically, silver has antimicrobial properties, and before antibiotics, it was used to prevent infection. However, scientific evidence supporting colloidal silver's effectiveness is limited, and excessive use can lead to a condition called argyria—permanent skin discoloration due to silver buildup. Health authorities discourage its routine use, highlighting potential risks without proven benefits. It's important to consult a healthcare professional before considering colloidal silver for any health concerns.
