Does IONIC SILVER™ cause Argyria or “Blue Skin”?

0

No. Argyria is a discoloration of the skin wherein the skin turns a blue-grey color as a result of over exposure to certain forms of silver. Argyria is known to be caused by ingesting; 1) silver salts (compounds) such as silver nitrate, 2) high concentrations of ionic silver, 3) protein based silver products AKA “silver protein” or “mild silver protein”. Argyria is not caused by true silver colloids which consist of nanometer sized particles of silver in pure water.
