Hi Dean,

supplement seems useful."
I was under the impression that silver does not constitute any part of the
body's many hormone, enzyme, protein etc components, and therefore is not
really a trace mineral in the same sense that say copper or chromium is. In
other words a diet totally lacking in silver would not per se lead to
serious illness or death. Can you provide some more info on this?
regards, Kevin Nolan
