Summary
Today, on The Human Upgrade, we talk to Steve Revelli about the long history and bright future of using silver nanoparticles as a biohacking silver bullet. Steve's background is in science and education, now serving as the QA Manager at American Biotech Labs, LLC, the brand which produces Silver Biotics—a long-time resident of my own medicine cabinet.
The conversation covers the difference between pathogenic bacteria and probiotics, how silver under a concentration of 40 parts per million can target harmful bacteria while leaving healthy probiotics intact, the importance of nanoparticle size, antibiotic resistance, animal and agricultural applications, and so much more.
You will learn how they use silver in the world of medicine (because they actually do and have for more than a hundred years) and how/when to use it yourself, whether topically, supplementally, or otherwise. This, my free-thinking friends, is a masterclass in using silver for biohacking.
00:03:06 — Retelling the Long Story of Silver

| 0:00.0 | You probably heard me talk about how important it is to get good protein every day and most |
| 0:06.2 | protein powders out there don't actually work well because they're poor quality protein |
| 0:11.0 | from the wrong sources and your gut has probably noticed if you've tried one. |
| 0:15.6 | If you ever had really bad gas or bloating after a protein shake, you know what I'm talking |
| 0:20.4 | about. |
| 0:21.6 | Even worse, your body probably isn't absorbing the protein you're getting, so you're literally |
| 0:26.7 | flushing money down the toilet, but before then it probably fermented into a ammonia. |
| 0:32.2 | So protein only works if you do it right. |
| 0:34.8 | I've gone through a lot of trial and error of my own protein and I really like bioavailable |
| 0:40.3 | animal proteins, especially the ones that don't give me or most people any stomach issues. |
| 0:46.6 | I'm talking about heliovali bone broth protein. |
| 0:49.8 | It has amino acids like glycine and elbutamine that work to support healthy skin, make your |
| 0:55.1 | joints work better and even make your metabolism work better. |
| 0:58.9 | And there are studies that show it reduces bloating and the other digestive issues that normally |
| 1:03.6 | you're going to get with protein powders, especially the plant-based proteins. |
| 1:08.8 | It's pretty obvious why. |
| 1:10.1 | The ingredients list is 100% grass-fed, grass-finished, regeneratively raised beef bones and filtered |
| 1:16.6 | water and that's it. |
| 1:18.8 | What I do is just add a scoop to my danger coffee in the morning or to any kind of smoothie |
| 1:25.1 | I'm making. |
| 1:26.1 | It blends very easily. |
| 1:27.9 | It tastes really good and it comes in chocolate, vanilla or unflavored. |
