AlfaSilver Wound Treatment Spray

Product Information

However, no scientific research supports this. In fact, the FDA considers colloidal silver unsafe for human intake due to its harmful effects and buildup in the organs. There is no regulation . Colloidal silver products are not regulated by the FDA. “There’s no real safety certification we can rely on,” says Romine. We examined studies and asked veterinarians for their thoughts about both topical and supplemental colloidal silver for dogs. As always, speak with your veterinarian before giving your pup any new product containing colloidal silver. What is Colloidal Silver?

If your dog is not showing improvement or any obvious results within a couple days, increase the dose. Some topical antimicrobial ointments and spray gels for dogs use micro-silver as a safer alternative to colloidal silver. Is Colloidal Silver Safe for Dogs?

However, colloidal silver has been declared unsafe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 1999. In fact, the FDA deemed that all over-the-counter products that contain colloidal silver ingredients or silver salts are not generally recognized as safe or effective ( 1, 2). Thankfully all I do is spray some of the colloidal silver on the affected area about 3 times a day until the symptoms dissipate. In fact, that’s my treatment protocol for most skin related issue. I just spray on the area and gently massage the solution in the affected area so it gets into the layers of skin that might be exposed due to scratching or a lesion from a cold sore. Cold sores fear colloidal silver Colloidal silver has been touted as an antibacterial topical wound dressing as well as an antifungal and antiviral. The spray is applied directly to the skin of the horse (or over the scrape/wound) and creates a barrier preventing bacteria and other nasty things from getting into the wound.

Aziz ARA, Alsabek MB. Diabetic foot and disaster; risk factors for amputation during the Syrian crisis. J Diabetes Complications. 2020;34(2). doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2019.107493From the *Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Columbus, Ohio Colloidal silver consists of small particles of silver that kill microbes. The tiny particles of silver invade the cell and suffocate it. In the presence of silver, pathogens cannot survive. CS is made up of micro-particles of 99.999% pure silver suspended in water. This means that tiny, microscopic silver particles are floating around in a liquid medium, in this case distilled water. In theory, a large number of small particles has a greater surface area than a lower number of large particles. As a result, a solution that contains more silver nanoparticles may release more silver ions ( 8, 9, 10). While argyria isn’t inherently harmful, it’s irreversible and likely permanent. That said, since little research is available on the side effects of colloidal silver, there may be other unknown side effects. Numerous case studies have found that silver intake from colloidal silver dietary supplements may lead to argyria ( 15, 16, 17).

In infected wounds, dressings containing nanocrystalline silver are helpful in the early treatment phase (first 2–3 weeks) to reduce bacterial counts and mitigate wound odor. It is best used as an adjunct to surgical debridement. As the wound becomes cleaner, silver-free dressings should be used to minimize toxicity towards keratinocytes and fibroblasts. 90 Silver-containing dressings should not be used long-term. 3, 10 Patel S, Srivastava S, Singh MR, Singh D. Mechanistic insight into diabetic wounds: pathogenesis, molecular targets and treatment strategies to pace wound healing. Biomed Pharmacother. 2019;112:108615. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.biopha.2019.108615 Colloidal silver is said to have broad antibacterial and antiseptic effects when taken orally or placed on a wound. But silver sulfadiazine is an antibiotic ointment with silver ions suspended in it that is used in both human and veterinary medicine to treat wounds and burns. It is available by prescription only and comes in cream or liquid form. There’s plenty more of information I will be adding in the coming weeks to go more in-depth into how I make my own colloidal silver and how I use it for all purposes in the home. Meanwhile, please feel free to consider the use of colloidal silver as your go-to powerful antiseptic, anti-bacterial and odor-busting must-have item in the home.Most importantly, the nutrinoche silver spray wound care is also easily excreted due to it’ssssss tiny particle size, so it is completely safe to consume. Any company that produces silver products that are labeled or promoted to prevent or cure disease must undergo FDA approval prior to marketing. Otherwise, the product is considered misbranded and is subject to regulatory action ( 3).

Colloidal silver products vary widely in their composition and are usually labeled with false health claims.

The horse silver spray is used to treat wounds caused by bites and stings. Horses can be bitten or stung by insects, such as flies or bees. This can result in painful and infected wounds. The silver wound spray can help to prevent infections and complications.
