First Ever Double-Blind Human-Ingestion Study on Nano Silver
Publish date: Apr 23, 2013

PR Newswire SALT LAKE CITY, UT, April 23, 2013
SALT LAKE CITY, UT, April 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - American
Biotech Labs (ABL)
has just released what is believed to be the first ever human-ingestion
safety study on both a silver supplement, and also a nano-particle.
The published abstract for the study states that ingestion of the
patented ABL nano-silver particle showed no negative effects on any
tested system in the body.
The study included 3-, 7-, and 14-day exposures to American Biotech Labs
10-ppm (15 ml/day) silver solution in a double-blind, placebo
controlled, cross-over phase design. Healthy volunteer subjects (36, 12
per each time-exposure), underwent complete metabolic, blood and
platelet count, urinalysis tests, sputum hyperresponsiveness and
inflammation evaluation, physical examinations, vital sign
measurements, and magnetic resonance imaging of the chest and abdomen
at baseline and at the end of each phase.
"We are very pleased with the results, and we believe it will help ease
people's minds about the safety of our nano-silver products," said
Keith Moeller, A Managing Director at ABL. "The full report shows that
our unique nano-silver particle hits its apex in the blood within two
hours, and clears the body within just 24 hours after ingestion. As a
prelim to the study, I volunteered to be checked for silver deposition
in my body, after 15+ years of almost daily usage as a supplement to
help boost my immune system. No silver residue was found anywhere in
my system. We are always working hard to gain knowledge about silver.
Because of this, we have now amassed a library of more than 300 major
reports, studies and test series, all completed on our nano-silver
technology by more than 60 different universities, government/military
labs, and private institutions."
In conclusion the report stated, "The In-vivo oral exposure of a commercial 10-ppm silver nano-particle solution over
3-, 7-, and 14-day exposures does not exhibit clinically important
changes in metabolic, hematologic, urine, vital sign changes, physical
findings or imaging changes visualized by MRI." ABL has also completed
an additional human-ingestion study on its 32-ppm product, which
includes cytochrome P-450 enzyme tests as well. Both full studies are
in peer-review and should be released soon.
