Historical use of Silver.

Silver first gained regulatory approval for use as an antimicrobial agent in the early 20th century and was used extensively until the discovery of antibiotics. Due to resistant strains, the use of colloidal silver is again being looked at as a credible alternative due to its natural antibacterial properties.

We have confirmation from the MHRA and our local Trading Standards that Colloidal Silver is not classed as a medication neither is it classified as a food supplement.

As our products are regularly being used topically and are also ingested we took the decision to submit our solution for laboratory testing; your safety is our top priority and as a consequence we have passed certification under the UK Drinking water regulations which means our Colloidal Silver is safe to drink in the recommended quantities.

When you buy a Starter Kit from us, we supply a comprehensive information sheet which also includes feedback from our customers over the last 15 years with valuable information on how they have found the best use of Colloidal Silver from our range.
