Looking for pure Nano Silver?
Comprised of nano-sized silver particles suspended in pure water, Health Factory’s Nano Silver offers a powerful alternative to conventional colloidal silver products.
We believe it’s the best single silver product on the market.
The particles in Nano Silver by the Health Factory are 0.01 to 0.001 microns in diameter, which translates to about four hundred thousandths to four-millionths of an inch.
This gives them an exceptionally large surface area, and their tiny size facilitates optimum absorption.
It was the Romans who first created their cutlery out of silver, believing the metal could protect them against germs and improve health. Silver is also used in conventional medicine as a bandage coating and coating for specific medical devices.
Over the last decade, silver has been incorporated as an ingredient into hundreds of domestic products, from socks to washing powder, as a means of utilising its potent antibacterial, antimicrobial and antibiotic properties.
As a health product, people have taken it for hundreds of years, though as per current legislation we have to be extremely cautious about making any claims for this product.
Potential Health Benefits
It is not definitively understood exactly how nano silver works but research suggests that it attaches to proteins on the cell walls of bacteria, damaging their cell membranes (ref)
Other studies demonstrate that it kills viral compounds (ref)
Another study shows its efficacy as an anti-fungal agent (ref)
Positively charged silver particles attract a variety of negatively charged single-celled pathogens such a fungi, viruses, bacteria and other disease-causing organisms.
The efficacy of the silver particles is in their ability to disable the pathogen’s oxygen metabolism enzymes thereby suffocating it.
From a medical perspective, nano silver is a significantly more refined product than what is traditionally called colloidal silver.
Colloidal silver particles are hundreds of times larger than nano particles, so large in fact that they can be seen in the colloidal solution. Nano particles, by contrast, are so small as to be invisible, forming a perfect solution. This means that nano silver offers a totally uniform liquid without the potential for clustering.
Conventional medicine does not consider silver an essential mineral nor supports any of the claims for silver’s health-giving properties in the body. The US FDA has even taken action against some colloidal silver manufacturers for making various claims on their sites, so it is best to do you research carefully and only follow the guidance of your registered health practitioner.
Is Nano Silver FDA-approved?
No, silver is not FDA-approved in the US.
Although colloidal silver was once commonly used and available in various conventional over-the-counter preparations, this changed in 1999 when the FDA ruled the product ‘unsafe.’
Some studies offered evidence that silver does harm viral compounds (ref) however the conventional medical establishment remains sceptical, as any quick search of Google will confirm.
This article from the journal Critical Reviews in Microbiology does cite the “antiviral activity of the metal nanoparticles, especially the mechanism of action of silver nanoparticles, against different viruses such HSV, HIV, HBV, MPV, RSV, etc”
Here is a research paper exploring the potential effects of nano silver against HIV-1.
EU legislation requires that Nano Silver be labelled as ‘for topical use only’.
If you’e interested in the specific doses recommended for silver, we recommend you consult with your health practitioner or speak with us directly about this.
As per EU regulations, nano silver is only allowed to be recommended for topical use, and nothing in this site is intended to suggest otherwise.
