Is Silver Safe? Is the Natural Silver Fibre safe?
Silver is widely used today in medical products and in consumer products. In fact, the very first drug most people receive when they are born is silver nitrate, in the form of eye drops.

Today, silver is used in everything from burn care products for infection control to eating utensils. The best colloquial example is the abundance of silver fillings for dental repair (although there has been a movement away from silver because of the dangers of the mercury that was used with it in the past).

Natural Silver Fibre is extremely safe because it is made with pure silver. Prestigious institutions throughout the world have validated the antimicrobial performance and safety of the Natural Silver Fibre in published medical journals.

How long does the Natural Silver Fibre protection last?
The Natural Silver Fibre lasts for the life of the garment. Silver is permanently and irreversibly bound to the surface of a fiber to create the Natural Silver Fibre. It cannot wash off or wear off. We have tested the Natural Silver Fibre for more than 250 washes with virtually no reduction in performance. The wash testing was stopped only after the garment fell apart.

Are some people allergic to silver?
Some people are allergic to silver jewelry and make the assumption that they are allergic to silver.
On the contrary, silver jewelry is made of an alloy called “sterling silver” and the people are allergic to the various other metals in its makeup.
The Natural Silver Fibre is made with pure silver—there have been no documented cases of allergies to pure silver.
