tetraSILVER® Works Like Magic, But It’s Based on Solid Science.

tetraSILVER Silver Oxide was discovered after years of extensive research. With four silver atoms and four oxygen atoms, it is considered earth’s most powerful molecular combination of silver and oxygen. As a result, several international patents have been awarded, with additional patents pending.

Test Data

tetraSILVER has been studied for over 10 years, showing that it is, both, very effective and very safe in skin care applications.

In-Vitro Testing:

"In-vitro" means an artificial environment created outside a living organism (e.g., a test tube or culture plate) used in experimental research to study a disease or process. Before tetraSILVER became our products’ unique ingredient it was tested by 14 independent research labs against gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, fungi, yeast, and viruses. The labs included Quintiles, Parexel, MDS/Pharma, and other world renowned research organizations. Test after test documented the powerful antimicrobial properties of tetraSILVER.

Toxicity Testing:

In 1966, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved tetraSILVER as an effective disinfectant in swimming pools, after extensive tests showed this Silver Oxide was capable of quickly killing a wide spectrum of germs. In the same series of studies, the EPA also determined that TetraSILVER was safe, after passing a series of oral (swallowing), dermal (skin), and ocular (eye) toxicity tests. These tests were very important because some people are in pools every day.

Clinical Testing:

Initial clinical investigations with 328 people (conducted by research dermatologists), in addition to reports from doctors throughout the world, strongly suggest that TetraSILVER, as a key ingredient in skin care products, provides outstanding benefits and supports the body's ability to quickly resolve many common skin problems.
