What Silver Products Causes Argyria?
The US Federal Register listed the silver products that cause argyria as silver salts, including; silver nitrate, silver arsphenamine, silver chloride and possibly silver iodide. These products were sold until about 1975 under various labels consisting of silver solutions ranging from 5-30% silver [50,000-300,000 ppm (parts per million) of silver] (Federal Register, FDA-21CFR Part 310, pg. 53685). In comparison American Biotech Labs silver supplement products are only 10 ppm and 22 ppm. American Biotech Labs’ EPA approved hospital/home surface disinfectant is only 32 ppm.
