EFSA approval.
Mouth Ulcers ✪✪✪✪✪
Silver nitrate is widely used to treat mouth ulcers due to its antiseptic and healing properties. Regular use of silver nitrate can reduce inflammation associated with ulcers, speed up their healing, and prevent infections.
Posologie
Oral route
Wound ✪✪✪✪✪
Silver can be used in various forms, including silver-based dressings. These dressings release silver ions in a controlled manner, ensuring prolonged action in contact with the wound.
Posologie
Cutaneous route
Flu ✪✪✪✪✪
Silver-based trace elements can reduce the duration of flu symptoms through their antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF NIGELLA SATIVA SILVER NANOPARTICLES: BIOCHEMICAL STUDY
Properties
Antibacterial
Laboratory research shows that preparations containing silver nanoparticles exhibit activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), Bacillus anthracis, Acinetobacter baylyi, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Citrobacter, and Shigella dysenteriae type I.
Antiviral
In vitro research shows that colloidal silver has antiviral activity against the poxvirus.
Usages associés
Healing
Silver has several healing properties. Firstly, it has strong antimicrobial properties, reducing the risk of infection and promoting a healing-friendly environment. Additionally, silver has an anti-inflammatory role by reducing local inflammation, which helps accelerate the healing process. Finally, it promotes tissue regeneration by stimulating cell proliferation and facilitating the formation of quality scar tissue.
Usages associés
Anti-inflammatory
Various in vitro studies have shown that silver can decrease the expression of certain inflammatory mediators, such as pro-inflammatory cytokines. It can also inhibit the activation of inflammatory cells.
Anticancer
In vitro research shows that silver nanoparticles are active against human breast cancer cells, human colorectal epithelial adenocarcinoma cells, and human hepatocellular carcinoma cells.
Safety dosage
Plantes ou autres actifs
Silver: low interaction
Theoretically, silver could reduce iodine absorption.
Precautions
Adult: use with caution
The total daily intake of silver should not exceed 14 mcg/kg per day. Combining silver supplements with regular dietary silver intake would likely exceed this amount. Colloidal silver: 20 ppm.
