Non-Toxicity Test Work Summary

In order to insure not only the best product, but also a safe product, American Silver L.L.C. hired an independent laboratory to do a toxicology study on the ASAP Solution [Smart Silver]. The test, called an LD-50 test, was performed in accordance with the guidelines of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) Regulations, 16 CFR 1500.

In the test work, the ASAP Solution [Smart Silver] was given to a number of both male and female test rats. The amount of ASAP Solution [Smart Silver] given to the rats was 5g/kg, or the equivalent of a 200 pound man taking 192 teaspoons or about 4 full 8 ounce bottles of the ASAP 10ppm solution [Smart Silver] at one time (the normal adult dosage is one or two teaspoons/day).

As a result of the test work, the independent laboratory made the following conclusion, "Under the conditions of this study, there was no mortality or significant evidence of toxicity observed in the rats. The test article (ASAP Solution [Smart Silver]) would not be considered toxic at a dose of 5g/kg by oral route in the rat."
