Silver Myths: Colloidal Silver — Fact or Fiction?
Myth: Particle size and shape are the most important factors when shopping for colloidal silver products.
Truth: Safety and efficacy are the most important factors. At Peaceful Mountain, our micro-biology department performs extensive tests for all of our silver preparations on live pathogens such as E. Coli, Staph., Salmonella, Lysteria, Strep A. and other potentially harmful bacteria. Additionally, our products are tested by a third-party to ensure that the product you receive is safe and effective.
Myth: Colloidal Silver should be clear.
Truth: Our uncompounded Ionic Colloidal Silver should be light amber or gray in color. This ensures that it has not been frozen and that the silver has not fallen out of colloidal suspension.
Myth: Taking colloidal silver will cause Argyria.
Truth: Most modern-day colloidal silver solutions are specifically designed to be effective at very low concentrations and will not cause Argyria — or silver toxicity of any degree. Peaceful Mountain uses concentrations ranging from 20-40ppm (parts per million).
Myth: Taking silver can turn you blue.
Truth: Peaceful Mountain colloidal silver solutions will not turn you blue. A gray-blue discoloration of the skin is a symptom of Argyria, or silver toxicity. As mentioned above, most modern-day colloidal silver products are made in very low concentrations that will not cause Argyria.
