What Metals are in the Human Body?

Elements that are listed on the periodic table are either metallic, non-metallic, or metalloids. These elements enter the body via a number of pathways, most commonly through the mouth, nasal passages, and skin. These are regularly present in the human body and, at low levels, do not pose any cause for concern.

When it comes to health and nutrition, elements are generally grouped into essential and non-essential. Essential trace elements include zinc, copper, chromium, cobalt, manganese, selenium, iodine, and molybdenum. Metallic ions such as iron play crucial roles for the body to function well. Iron, for one, is a key constituent in blood production.

The body requires cobalt to produce enzymes needed for the synthesis of hemoglobin. Selenium, on the other hand, is necessary for protein production. Everybody knows calcium is essential for bone repair and development. Although, people tend to forget it’s metal too.

Even non-essential elements have practical applications in almost every industry. Lithium, for instance, is manufactured into drugs. These are administered to people suffering from different kinds of mental illness, such as depression and mania. Other metallic elements such as arsenic, nickel, and cadmium are known carcinogens. Mercury and arsenic are highly poisonous.

As these are naturally found in the food we eat and even in the air we breathe, even individuals in good health will have these metals in their system. Although trace elements are generally required by the body at just below 100mg/day, having less can cause chronic diseases. In some cases, it can damage vital organs and even lead to death.

Our bodies need trace elements. Having less than 100mg/day may cause element associated diseases.

On the other hand, higher exposure to elements and heavy metals can cause excess amounts to be present in the body. High amounts and prolonged exposure can build up to toxic levels. In turn, this can lead to poisoning, cancer, and other adverse reactions that harm the body. In some cases, toxic exposure to metals can lead to death.

Listed in this table are the Permitted Daily Exposure (PDE) levels of essential and non-essential trace elements inside the body [1]:

Coated Silver nanoparticles are contained in a porous coating. This coating permits only a small part of silver to pass through the coating. This technology is what makes coated silver safe and effective. *

Before anything else, how does coated silver work? Both the processing techniques used and its final presentation help make this form of nanosilver the better choice among colloidal silvers. Here are four reasons why Coated Colloidal Silver is better than any other nanosilver preparation [4]*:

• Safe. Each silver nanoparticle is coated. It remains highly soluble in water and most forms of liquids. That means, when it is introduced inside your body, it leaves the body via normal excretion routes.*
• Effective. Each silver nanoparticle molecule measures less than 10 nanometers. That gives it rapid absorption rates and is highly bioavailable. That means the body can use it almost immediately.*
• Stable. Unlike uncoated colloidal nanosilver, Coated Colloidal Silver facilitates the regulated release of silver ions. This way, it is fast-acting, does not overwhelm the body, and lasts longer.*
• Economical. Just one drop of Coated Colloidal Silver contains up to 20 000 ppm of silver nanoparticles. That is so much more than what any other brand of colloidal silver can deliver for the same quantity. So, while cost per bottle may appear more expensive, the amount required for potency is minimal so each package lasts longer.*

Coated Colloidal Silverpioneers the next generation of nanosilver supplements by introducing these four standards into its manufacturing process and final product.
