This is not silver sol containing ions of silver that are able to go through cell walls, silver oxide is inappropriate for ingestion, and these particles will be far too big, and the concentration would be vastly too heavy even if it were silver sol ions.

In fact anything over 14 ppm even in silver sol ionic preparations or so tends to cause large clusters of ions to form that are not only less effective, but also tend to bottom out and cause the rest of the ions to cease remaining free in Brownian Motion to quickly clump on around these larger bottomed-out clumps.

More concentrated solutions only produce larger clusters of ions and are not better (or they produce larger particles of silver oxide in your case).

Slowly and gently produced sols that are smaller in ion cluster size are very much more effective medicinally, though Searle used a variety of sols and otherwise produced small particles for instance in sometimes quite heavy concentrations of various elements in the successful treatment of superficial wounds in animals, but, the thing is here, while successful, argyria would not have been a cosmetic issue with animals covered in fur.

Alfred B Searle did some highly interesting work with silver and other sols in his book which now, thank goodness, if freely available for anyone to download on the internet

The use of colloids in health and disease;

I use 99.999% pure silver 2mm wire in an array of 12 wires cut from a 2 metre length threaded through a varnished wooden block suspended over an appropriate 2 litre glass form of Schott lab glass beaker placed in a bath of distilled water in a Techne laboratory thermoregulator heated water bath to keep the reaction rate stable for predictable repeatable results after initial lab tests were performed using high temperature argon plasma ppm testing to determine accurate ppm (a TDS meter is totally useless for this purpose). I keep the Techne bath and all other apparatus in dark room conditions covered to prevent dust and air entering during the process, using mercury bulb thermometers suspended both in the Techne bath water and in the beaker containing the electrodes itself to ensure temperature remains constant and identical in both, while also keeping room temperature as identical as possible at 72 fahrenheit so as not to mess up the thermoregulator.

28 Volts DC voltage will produce 5 ppm in around 70 minutes at 72 degrees fahrenheit for instance, using 2 litres of single-distilled water (which has just the right amount of electrolyte left in it - double distilled will hardly conduct at all), with 12 electrodes cut from 2 metres of 2 mm thick 99.999% pure silver wire, with just sufficient of the metal in each wire bent over the 1 cm thick wooden support block sufficient to take an electrical alligator clip to each wire, so most of each wire is actually able to remain suspended in the water.

The single distilled water is freshly made, sealed immediately and used as soon as the temperature falls to 72 degrees to match the 72 degrees preset in the Techne thermoregulator bath (leaving the disilled water to stand exposed to air allowing oxygen to enter would change the conductivity of the water and also cause silver oxide to form, which I personally try to avoid as much as possible), so I keep oxygen exposure to an absolute minimum, and I use freshly made distilled water in the Techne thermoregulater bath itself each time, to avoid the sol becoming slightly contaminated as deposits come off the metal heating element in the Techne bath itself (a slightly less accurate but much more convenient and less fiddly laboratory oven with holes added to take the wiring would be a great alternative for sealing the operation to keep dust and additional air/oxygen out), but I cover my apparatus and seal out all light in dark room conditions during manufacturing and use dark toom light when I am ready to pour into dark glass bottles, specifically to avoid producing any silver oxide that tends to draw beneficial silver sol ions that I want out of the sol.

If making silver ion sol, avoid any so-called 'magnetic stirrers' like the plague, as silver is a paramagnetic metal and any magnetic current will actually cause ions to very rapidly bottom out.

Silver ions will also stick to the charged hydrocarbon molecules in plastic bottles that many silver sol manufacturers sell their rapidly-decaying stuff in, leaving a characteristic yellow mark from bottomed out silver ions sticking to the plastic that one can very easily see when the bottle of sol is tipped to one side if they have placed their sol in a clear plastic bottle.

Dark glass bottles are a must as light reacts with the ions and causes them to bottom out too, and keeping the bottles in a cardboard tube on in a cupboard is an additional wise precaution.

And besides that, the entire idea of any type of stirrer whatsoever is totally unneccessary, as silver ions in Brownian Motion move inconceivably fast anyway.

Silver sols are ions of silver in single-distilled water that will kill just about every harmful microrganism known, but this stuff that is silver oxide at 4,000 ppm will not only give you argyria, leaving you with likely permanent grey blue skin, it is so concentrated that the clusters of Silver oxide will not even be able to enter through any internal cell wall, but this can still colour the skin long term nonetheless. But if you have naturally very dark skin, this would likely be actually be great for any serious burns or abbrasive skin wounds (see Searle's book).

Silver oxide has some antibiotic effects nonetheless, but 4,000 ppm in the stomach will likely irritate the stomach and give you sterile gut syndrome, killing off your freindly bacteria (forget any stories that silver is incapable of doing this, I have done this to myself accidentally years ago with silver sol when swigging remnants of 2 litre beakers at one hit when developing the process rather than chucking each experimental calibration batch out after sending each small 20 ml sample from each 2 litre beaker off to be analyzed at university.

I would advise you to revise your manufacturing method. I know silver sol is good for regenerating burned skin. One guy in a book he wote about silver sol says his silver sol healed him so well his skin grafts fell off and his own body regenerated the missing skin with the red marks rapidly fading with the use of more silver sol application after he suffered serious burns in a car crash.

98% of leukaemia blood cancer cells reverted to normal cells in 24 hours using silver sol at 10 ppm, or so a company called Sovereign Silver states from their research.

What are the side effects of silver oxide?

Silver compounds can cause discoloration or blue-gray darkening of the eyes, nose, throat and skin. Acute and Chronic Effects: Inhalation: Repeated overexposure can cause mild bronchitis (cough, shortness of breath). Acute overexposure to dust may aggravate pre-existing chronic lung diseases.
