Frequently asked questions about 24k gold safety & uses

Is 24k gold healthy?

Gold is used to treat a number of medical conditions.

Is eating 24k gold good for you?

it is usually suitable for use in food since it does not oxidize or corrode in moist air, unlike many other metals.

It is safe to say that there are no negative side effects of eating food with gold. As long as you are sure that the gold you are about to consume is pure and contains no impurities – you are good to go. As mentioned, pure gold ranges between 23k and 24k.

What are the benefits of 24k gold?

Another amazing benefit of 24k gold is its natural anti-inflammatory properties. As gold increases blood flow and therefore the amount of oxygen flowing through the skin's cells, it helps to repair and rejuvenate damaged cells. This makes a 24k gold facial great for calming your red, irritated, and dry skin.

24K gold is a popular remedy, as the improved blood circulation brightens and evens skin tone, reducing the appearance of shadows and unwanted pigmentation. Since gold is an antioxidant, it has the ability to protect vulnerable skin from free radicals and sun damage.

Medical Uses of Gold

Here are examples of medical conditions:

Injections of weak solutions of sodium aurothiomalate or aurothioglucose are sometimes used to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
Particles of a radioactive gold isotope are implanted in tissues to serve as a radiation source in the treatment of certain cancers.
Small amounts of gold are used to remedy a condition known as lagophthalmos, which is an inability of a person to close their eyes completely. This condition is treated by implanting small amounts of gold in the upper eyelid. The implanted gold "weights" the eyelid, and the force of gravity helps the eyelid close fully.
Radioactive gold is used in diagnostic testing. It is injected in a colloidal solution that can be tracked as a beta emitter as it passes through the body. Many surgical instruments, electronic equipment, and life-support devices are made using small amounts of gold. Gold is nonreactive in the instruments and is highly reliable in electronic equipment and life-support devices.

Gold in Aerospace

If you are going to spend billions of dollars on a vehicle that, when launched, will travel on a voyage where the possibility of lubrication, maintenance and repair is absolutely zero, then building it with extremely dependable materials is essential. This is exactly why gold is used in hundreds of ways in every space vehicle that NASA launches.

Gold is used in circuitry because it is a dependable conductor and connector. In addition, many parts of every space vehicle are fitted with gold-coated polyester film. This film reflects infrared radiation and helps stabilize the temperature of the spacecraft. Without this coating, dark colored parts of the spacecraft would absorb significant amounts of heat.

Gold is also used as a lubricant between mechanical parts. In the vacuum of space, organic lubricants would volatilize and they would be broken down by the intense radiation beyond Earth's atmosphere. Gold has a very low shear strength, and a thin film of gold between critical moving parts serves as a lubricant - the gold molecules slip past one another under the forces of friction, and that provides a lubricant action.

Gold Gilding and Gold Leaf

Gold has the highest malleability of any metal. This enables gold to be beaten into sheets that are only a few millionths of an inch thick. These thin sheets known as "gold leaf" can be applied over the irregular surfaces of picture frames, molding, or furniture.

Gold leaf is also used on the external and internal surfaces of buildings. This provides a durable and corrosion-resistant covering. One of the most eye-catching uses of gold leaf is on the domes of religious buildings and other important structures. The cost of this "roofing material" is very high per square foot; however, the cost of the gold is only a few percent of the total project cost. Most of the cost goes to the labor of highly skilled artisans who apply the gold leaf.
