'Colloidal' Metals on the market, any benefits to them?

Any experiences with colloidal metal'? Do you think there are any benefits?

They are meant supposedly to be metals in colloidal form that were made small enough and in liquid form to be suitable for human ingestion or use and widely available on the market. I've seen one mainstream pharmacy shop even selling bottles of colloidal gold online.

There's also colloidal silver and copper.

Gold: https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/article ... c0cs00018c (possibly damaging to the liver and spleen)
Silver: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-life ... q-20058061
Copper: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/288165 (imbalances can lead to toxicity, jaundice, cirrhosis, or even heart or red blood cell abnormalities.)

I wouldn’t ingest any of these without medical supervision.

Google "colloidal silver blue skin". Excess silver in the body builds up in the skin, which then turns blue-gray or blue, especially where the skin is exposed to the sun.

This color change is permanent.

I would not ingest colloidal metals without a doctor's explicit approval. Our body can't handle excessive supplies of some things without problems occurring, because we have no way to excrete or rid ourselves of said excesses. We don't NEED huge amounts of some of these things, and our natural diet does not include huge amounts of these things, so our body has no way to handle an excess.

Excess copper in the body will kill you, straight up. Google Wilson's Disease, which my friend's father died from. It destroyed his liver, and he passed away not long after getting a transplant 22 years ago.

It’s also worth noting that most of these solutions are likely part of the largely unregulated American supplement market rather than, say, regulated like medications. So there’s that layer too.
