Natural supplements and holistic remedies that offer proven health benefits are big in my house. One that I always keep on hand is colloidal silver. This sometimes controversial supplement was used before antibiotics existed for bacterial infections and to support the immune system.
Colloidal silver products are still often used today and many holistic health experts say that it’s a highly beneficial cure-all. On the flip side, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the use of colloidal silver for any health purpose, and other health care experts like doctors from Mayo Clinic also do not believe that it is safe.
Despite this, with the rise of antibiotic resistance, silver is making a comeback as a powerful broad-spectrum antimicrobial. Many swear by colloidal silver for everything from pink eye to ear infections.
So is colloidal silver really a safe and useful natural remedy?
What Is Colloidal Silver?
Colloidal silver is made when silver nanoparticles are synthesized and suspended in a solution of simple sugars and ammonia. These particles are so small that they aren’t visible to the eye and can be as tiny as one ten-thousandth the width of a human hair. That’s extremely tiny!
Modern medicine still relies on silver for antibacterial benefits:
- Many medical companies coat their devices with silver to avoid bacterial biofilms.
- Hospitals treat newborns with silver nitrate drops to prevent gonorrhea eye infections.
- Silver solutions or gauze are used to help treat burn wounds.
Colloidal silver is generally considered safe to use, but it is important to be informed about what studies say with respect to its safety and effectiveness, and whether excessive use may harm us or the environment.
The size of the colloidal silver particles is the most important thing that determines if they have health benefits or not, with smaller particles and lower concentrations being most effective against harmful antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
How Does Colloidal Silver Work?
Scientists have observed that silver kills germs, but they still don’t completely understand how. A lack of strong scientific evidence means the use of colloidal silver is still somewhat controversial.
The general idea is that silver nanoparticles bind to bacteria cell walls. A fraction of these nanoparticles may react to substances in the body or the environment and become silver salt, which is antimicrobial.
Although most colloidal silver is made from silver salts, they are different things. Silver salts are a lot more toxic to both humans and bacteria than colloidal silver. Silver salts have a positive charge that binds up proteins, cause DNA damage, and disrupt the respiratory processes in bacteria. Silver nanoparticles may be neutral or negatively charged, depending on how it is synthesized.
Silver ions are more likely to cause silver toxicity or argyria in humans than the colloidal version. However, because a fraction of colloidal silver may become silver salt, overconsumption of colloidal silver can still cause silver toxicity when taken at very high doses.
Since it is potent, it’s important to be careful when using this supplement.
Benefits of Colloidal Silver
Silver is a metal and a non-essential element in the body. It is much safer to a human body than other heavy metals like lead and mercury. We can accumulate much more silver in our bodies before it becomes toxic.
Research suggests that colloidal silver works for:
- Killing and preventing bacterial growth, including bacteria that is antibiotic-resistant.
- Treating burn infections as a topical antimicrobial
- Killing some strains of pathogenic yeasts, including Candida and Cryptococcus
- Preventing certain viruses, like HIV/AIDS and RSV, from entering human cells
- Reducing inflammation from contact dermatitis and irritating rashes in animal studies
- Disrupting bacterial biofilm (a slimy shield that allows bacteria to hide from antibiotics) in sinus infections in sheep
- Being toxic to certain cancer cells
- Effectively fighting bacteria that can cause deadly diarrhea (Vibrio cholera and a dangerous strain of E. coli).
- Fighting fungal infections on the skin.
A Note About Bacteria, Viruses, and Yeasts
To date, all studies that test the effects of colloidal silver with bacteria found that it is effective. There are mixed reviews when it comes to yeasts and viruses.
A comprehensive study by naturopathic doctors in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that it is only effective against some strains of yeasts but not others. That same study found that colloidal silver is not effective against viruses.
Another in vitro study in the Journal of Wound Care tested 3 different market brands and found no effectiveness whatsoever.
Colloidal silver is a powerful antimicrobial. However, its effectiveness as an antiviral or antifungal can vary depending on the particular infection and quality of the product itself.
Is Colloidal Silver Safe?
Natural remedies are appealing, but safety is an important issue.
There have not been large studies done in humans to truly examine whether colloidal silver is safe or effective. Most tests are done in vitro, meaning that they’re done in test tubes or Petri dishes. This allows researchers to understand how it behaves in isolated situations. But the human body isn’t isolated, and having a whole-body understanding is different from in vitro studies.
A human body is a lot more complex than a Petri dish! Just because something kills germs in a Petri dish doesn’t mean we should take it to prevent or treat an infection. We still need to understand how silver affects the rest of the body, and whether it can travel to where we need it most if taken internally. More studies are needed to understand how it works in our bodies (in vivo).
With the evidence that we do have, though, we can make some conclusions:
Gut Changes
As with many supplements, colloidal silver can affect other parts of the body that go beyond the reason it’s being taken. Two animal studies independently looked at how the gut bacteria balance of mice and rats was affected by being fed colloidal silver. The results found a disruption in gut flora.
Another study that examined digestive tissue after the ingestion of colloidal silver found that it can damage gut cells. Yet a newer study in Nanotoxicology that looked at mice found no changes to gut bacteria or cell structure.
So, there are mixed reviews.
It’s also not known how effective colloidal silver is outside of the gut, elsewhere in the body. When colloidal silver is taken internally, the small intestine can absorb around 10 to 18% of silver nanoparticles into the bloodstream. The remaining silver nanoparticles pass through the gut.
In the blood, nanoparticles bind to a protein called albumin as it gets carried around the body. Silver proteins are a lot less effective against germs than silver alone, so we really don’t know how it behaves throughout the body.
Skin Discoloration (argyria)
It is possible to get too much silver build-up in the body. This condition is called argyria or argylosis, where silver accumulates in tissues and turns the person blue or gray… permanently! When this happens, the silver does not usually cause health problems in other ways, although it can be traumatic to have discolored skin.
Antibiotics
Colloidal silver might seem like a promising option over antibiotics, but it still has some of the side effects of antibiotics. For this reason, I’ve always exercised caution and not over-used it, as evidence shows it may be harmful if used regularly or over a long period of time.
Gut bacteria can also become resistant to colloidal silver, just like with antibiotics. This is especially true when it has been used for several generations.
Environmental Issues
Silver nanoparticles cause some environmental concerns. Currently, silver nanoparticles are present in the environment at concentrations that are about one thousand times the dose that would be toxic to fish and other marine animals.
Silver nanoparticles are also found in sewage sludge that is used in landfills. This presents a risk of it getting reabsorbed back into the food supply. While it is somewhat known how colloidal silver affects human gut bacteria, it is still not completely clear how it affects the health of bacteria, yeasts, and other microorganisms in the environment.
Since the health of our soil is closely linked to the health of the gut, we need to be careful about messing it up.
Pregnancy
Group B Strep (GBS) is a bacteria that is commonly found in humans, but during pregnancy it can represent the risk of infection for the baby during the birthing process. Antibiotics are given to prevent complications. Mothers wanting to avoid antibiotics might wonder if colloidal silver is a safe alternative.
Colloidal silver has not been studied specifically for GBS or generally for pregnancy. Because it can be toxic—and because supplements in pregnancy can have unknown effects on the developing baby—it’s important not to use supplements to self-medicate during pregnancy, either internally or topically.
Cautions for Colloidal Silver
Colloidal silver is a natural remedy that has been used for thousands of years. Does that mean it should still be used today? There is reason to be careful about using it.
- Colloidal silver is marketed as a dietary supplement and is relatively unregulated. Only the manufacturer is responsible for the safety and effectiveness of their products. A random test of colloidal silver products for sale found several that were ineffective or even contaminated with bacteria. Yuck!
- While colloidal silver might be safe and effective when used externally, or when targeting pathogens in the gut, it can also have unintended consequences. Because colloidal silver does have some side effects, research suggests using it carefully rather than liberally.
- Colloidal silver can mess with or enhance the effects or side effects of some medications. Always check with your doctor before starting it or using it alongside anything else.
As discussed above, the safest use based on studies is external application to wounds and as a sinus rinse.
Colloidal Silver Products
If you choose to buy colloidal silver, it’s important to make sure you’re getting a pure product. Colloidal silver ingredients should only include silver and water. There should not be anything else in it.
When choosing your product, you also want to keep the particle size in mind. This refers to how big (or small) the nanoparticles of silver are. The concentration of particles per unit of water is listed in parts per million, or PPM. Basically, how many silver particles are collected per serving of water.
When you’re looking at buying colloidal silver, higher PPM is not better. Supplements are considered to be safest when they are between 10 and 20 PPM. Taking in too much colloidal silver can result in becoming toxic or having other complications, like the graying of skin.
If you choose to use colloidal silver, be sure to buy from a reputable brand. There are many available, but this is the brand I keep on hand for external use and as a sinus rinse.
How to Use Colloidal Silver
While we’ve covered some concerns, there are lots of ways to use colloidal silver safely as a part of your natural medicine cabinet.
Check out the ways that you can use colloidal silver:
- Nasal rinse: Add a few drops to distilled water (don’t combine with salt!) and use your neti pot as usual to rinse the sinus cavity.
- Ear infections: Use 2-3 drops in the ear, a few times a day, until symptoms subside.
- Pink eye: Add 2-3 drops directly to the infected eye, 3-4 times daily or until symptoms go away.
- Skin fungus or ringworm: Treat patchy skin infections with a few drops applied directly 2-3 times per day. Let dry on the skin to get the full effect.
- Toenail infections: Add 2-3 drops to the top of the infected toenail. Use 3-4 times a day until symptoms clear up.
- First aid disinfectant: Use as you would other antibacterial creams for minor cuts, scrapes, or bug bites.
- Acne: Add 1-2 drops to acne breakouts 3-4 times a day.
- Gingivitis: Add 1 teaspoon to purified water and swish in the mouth, 2-3 times per day.

I had a cat with a huge infection on its neck. We drowned it with CS the first day and then sprayed it daily afterward. It was miraculously gone within a week! I also have a recurring rash on my neck that comes when I get a cold. I tried everything on it and then one day I tried CS ointment and it worked!!!
Colloidal Silver is the most AMAZING product to heal the body!! I read Johan Loofs book—Colloidal Silver (Nano type) and it’s Amazing Health Benefits. I followed clear instructions for removing a particular virus out of my system (considered incurable) and it worked! This healing gift from God has been maligned and rendered strife with misinformation BC it is a POWERFUL yet simple healer of a multitude of diseases. If more Ppl cottoned on to this inexpensive, relative to western medicine, HEALER the money making, disease modeled industry of western medicine would be in trouble. I am a testimony to that. Do your homework, read the multitude of blogs/testimonials from Ppl that have actually HEALED serious disorders, not just sinus issues—educate yourself. This product changed my life!
Another healing gift from God is food grade hydrogen peroxide. Floods the body with oxygen, most bacteria, cancers, viruses thrive in a poorly oxygenated body. Think about it. Simply AMAZING!!!
Correction: The informative and instructional book I read and followed was Silver Solution for Women’s Wellness by Gordon Peterson pH.D. This book is chock full of info in an easy to read manner.
I learned of colloidal silver in the mid-1990’s. Following research, I bought my own colloidal silver generator – a small box with a wire that plugs in, ran on 9v batteries, clipping onto two 99.9% pure wires that are suspended into a glass jar of heated distilled water. The generator is run for 5 mins and the result is colloidal silver, or water with suspended particles of silver in it. Common sense is involved when using it, both for myself and my children. When sick, a tablespoon of colloidal silver, gargled to the count of 10, and swallowed, 3 times a day, typically saw results in 2-3 days, even on a severe case of strep throat. I still have my little generator, it has saved numerous visits to the doctors office and numerous rounds of antibiotics. It is not a.preventative. You need to rely on good food choices to keep your body healthy.
Thanks Wellness Momma for all you do to educate your audience.
Your article talks about colloidal silver but the brand you recommend, sovereign silver, is ionic silver and not very effective.
The number one way to tell the efficacy of silver products is the particle surface area and you don’t even mention that.
Sovereign silver has a very low particle surface area, making it very ineffective compared to products with a high particle surface area.
I have studied silver for many years. You can get some good information at https://www.silver-colloids.com/ as they are a scientific lab.
You should avoid silver proteins at all costs.
And most real colloidal silvers are absorbed into the bloodstream via the stomach – 98% and the rest is absorbed in the first intestine… Always forget if that is small or large, but think it is large. Then, the small intestines, where the gut biome is, is unscathed by the silver so you don’t have to worry about it killing the good bacteria.
Read the report section of the link above. You will learn a ton! The link is at the top navigation bar. I am on my phone, still in bed, lol, or I would link the reports to you. You can see sovereign silver is not very good. These are unbiased, scientific lab reports.
I personally use NutraSilver, which is the most potent form of colloidal silver on the market. Has the highest particle surface area of any silver product. And is used by the drop instead of the teaspoon.
One drop can purify a liter of swamp water. I would easily drink that, but wouldn’t even consider drinking something purified with sovereign silver.
I have been using colloidal silver for myself to treat eye infections; 10ppm solution, 1 or 2 drops straight in the corner of eye, twice a day. Using it as well to treat my cats when they have a cold. As soon as they start sneezing, I give them 1/4 ts directly in the mouth, twice a day. If their eyes start watering, I put 1 drop of colloidal silver straight in the corner of the watering eye, twice a day until they are completely recovered. Not going to the vet for cats eye infections anymore.
After successfully beating stage 3 cancer, my doctors investigated why I got it in the first place. Seems my body had a whopping toxic load of heavy metals and other toxins (and still does after extensive work at getting rid of them).
I recently visited a new naturopath to see if her office could give me additional IVs. I was stunned when she “muscle tested” me, and decided I needed IV and oral nanoparticle colloidal silver, instead of the carefully designed treatment plan the three doctors I’ve been seeing had put together and without thoroughly reading my labs and health history. She insisted it was the only thing that would work and refused to do the IVs I need that my doctors had developed based on extensive lab work.
Returning to my doctor, he emphatically supported my concerns – it is a heavy metal, and I have trouble getting rid of any heavy metal, and it could damage my fragile system. It can damage DNA and mitochondria and disrupts gut flora.
Many people carry around big burdens of mercury, arsenic, lead, etc. Silver has no real use in the body. Adding anything to the body that the body can’t use risks unintended consequences. The studies you cited are all shorter term, without looking at effects 10 years later. They don’t know exactly how it works. And not enough is known about the safety of nanoparticles.
I’m a big fan of alternative, integrative, naturopathic, and functional medicine. But, I worry that this is something that could give alternative treatments a bad name as more becomes known, especially as the arrogant doctor I visited cavalierly practices.
Boosting the immune system and using oregano oil, tea tree oil, mushrooms, Manuka honey, saline, berberine, etc. might be more prudent rather than suggesting casual use of colloidal silver.
I do appreciate being able to read more about this topic and I know you took care in writing it, but from the comments I saw above this, I’m not convinced that people will be as careful as they should be.
People should thoughtfully consider other alternatives before choosing this treatment.
Thanks!
I have an aunt who has been living with extremely severe arthritis for around 40 years. She has been making her own colloidal silver for at least half of that time and it helps her immensely. Her 10 kids, and now their kids are given a dose on first sign of being run down- sore throat, etc as have I and it stops colds dead in its tracks. Yes, you only need a little bit, say no more than 100ml a day, about 30ml for a child.
Thanks for a great blog and for all the feedback/input from everybody!
Happy days.
Bron
Arthritis is an auto-immune condition; toxic metals attack the immune system so your aunt’s long-term intake of silver may very well be one of the causes of her arthritic condition.
I have used it with my dogs I sometimes put it in their water; or on their external wounds. seems to have been effective.
I agree, Judy. I have 2 golden retrievers and they get given it internally when needed. I also spray it on hot spots and it has worked amazingly well.
I love colloidal silver and have used it for ear and eye infections. I’ve rinsed my mouth with it before when I’ve had an area of infected gum, and I’ve also put a few drops in my neti pot for sinus infections. Never had any issues, but I do know not to overuse. I have a cat who had a bad tooth. It was loose and we knew it would eventually fall out. I put drops at the base of the tooth for 4 or 5 days, and once the tooth fell out, I put drops on her gum for about a week, took a week off, and did it again. Her gum healed just fine and I saved myself several hundred dollars! If it would have looked really bad or not wanted to heal appropriately, I would have taken her to the vet, so don’t worry – I’m not a bad cat mom! I just know when I can take care of something vs when I can’t 🙂
My naturalpath has me on colloidal silver internally for Lyme disease, amongst other things. But I trust him tremendously and would rather this than antibiotics.
Which brand did your naturopath recommend for Lyme Disease? I too am trying to fight it, was lucky to be diagnosed early. I’ve read that Argentyn-23 is effective against Lyme, but I need to do more research.
Don’t use silver, it’s toxic. I highly recommend that you look into heavy metal poisoning (mercury from fillings and fish, lead, aluminum, arsenic, etc). Metals are often the cause of immune issues and infections like Lyme.
AJ, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Zinc are heavy metals, too, The ATSDR peer reviewed by the CDC found silver to be non-toxic, non carcinogenic, and did not cause birth defects. For your information Aluminum isn’t a heavy metal by definition (mass weight) but is toxic.
No AJ that’s simply not so. Silver is not classed as a toxic heavy metal BECAUSE it has – effectively – no real known toxicity levels.
ONLY 3 DAYS OF INGESTION OF 10 ML of 10 ppm of colloidal silver PER DAY I COULD SEE CLEARLY AGAIN.
I was diagnosed 3/4 year ago with Lyme (BORELIOSE) and my eyes glazed over and I could no longer see clearly.
Was treated 3 weeks w. Doxycycline twice a day. It didn’t work the problems with my eyes (crust every morning) plus the pains, brain fog, going to bed at 9 PM and sleeping until 11 AM continued.
Treated again 2 weeks w. Doxycycline 3 times a day where I sensed improvement the last 2 days.
BUT SHORTLY AFTER IT CAME BACK WITH A VENGEANCE.
I’m getting better and better and are now on my 12 day on silver.
Maybe I missed it or am just not comprehending well this morning. Could you comment on the difference in the sovereign silver and colodial? I use the same brand you recommend (amazing for pink eye! ) but I’ve seen other brands that are colodial. They have not been clear and some even have a significant taste. Is there a difference in colodial vs sovereign, and if so what is it, or is this a brand thing? Thank you for your amazing blog, Mama!
