by Ben Taylor (UtopiaSilver.com) Are colloidal silver products safe? Advanced Colloidal Silver, taken according to our suggestions, contains less than one third the amount of silver referenced as safe to be taken every day by the EPA (350 micrograms) in their drinking water standards. Utopia Silver Supplement’s suggested daily maintenance serving contains approximately 100 […]
by Ben Taylor (UtopiaSilver.com) By far the most frequent questions we receive here at Utopia Silver concerning silver are, “How is Colloidal Silver most effectively used?”, “Does silver really work?” and “How much silver must I use for it to be effective?”. The first question is a moot point in any real world science; […]
June 25, 2015 by Ben Taylor (UtopiaSilver.com) Colloidal Silver color is one of the biggest “issue” questions that we get here at Utopia Silver. The majority of people are simply not familiar with true colloidal silver. We have had many customers receive their colloidal silver order and then call or email us to ask, “what is […]
by Ben Taylor (UtopiaSilver.com) Our Colloidal Silver and Colloidal Gold products are mineral and water dietary supplements, not medicines. Supplementing your diet with colloidal silver or gold should be approached no differently than taking other vitamin and mineral supplements. We have seen no reports of, nor evidence of, any adverse silver or gold interaction […]
by Ben Taylor (UtopiaSilver.com) Although silver is not associated with any adverse health effects (only with cosmetic effects), the EPA reference dose establishes exposure limits for many materials based on various possible areas of concern. To our knowledge, silver is the only chemical or substance which has an RfD that is not based on […]
by Ben Taylor (UtopiaSilver.com) Any product containing silver is probably effective, but if it is comprised of ingredients such as salts, nitrates, iodides, proteins or gelatinous bases, it may be conducive to causing the condition Argyria and in our opinion should be avoided. When a product contains gelatin or protein, it is because the […]
by Ben Taylor (UtopiaSilver.com) Colloidal silver does not discriminate between “good” and “bad” bacteria. It can potentially destroy all bacteria it comes into contact with. This is why we recommend that anyone choosing to take more than the suggested serving of silver for extended periods of time should supplement with acidophilus or live culture […]
by Ben Taylor (UtopiaSilver.com) You cannot judge colloidal silver products based solely upon parts per million (ppm), but a smaller particle size product is potentially more effective. Silver is only effective to the degree that the surface area of the silver particles are able to come into contact with a micro-organism. I’ll exaggerate with […]
by Ben Taylor (UtopiaSilver.com) There is much contentious debate within the colloidal silver community about ionic silver vs. particle silver. It is our belief that there are misconceptions on both sides of the issue, by some that only non-ionic “silver particles” are effective and by others that “ionic silver” is most effective. The truth […]
by Ben Taylor (UtopiaSilver.com) When first starting silver supplementation, one may experience a minor “crisis” of not feeling well, similar to a Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction. When toxins accumulate in the blood stream from terminated micro-organisms, it may cause one to feel mildly ill and sometimes feverish. A die-off of bacteria in the colon may also […]
by Ben Taylor (UtopiaSilver.com) It is possible that some, saline, nitrate, and gelatinous “colloidal silver” products, with prolonged heavy use, could cause Argyria. The only negative association made to silver supplementation is this condition, a rare phenomenon where silver accumulates in the tissue under the skin causing a blue or grayish tint. Even then, […]

Metal allergies are usually manifested by a light rash and/or itching. Note also that some silver jewelry […]
