Colloidal Silver FAQ

What Is Colloidal Silver?

Colloidal Silver is nano sized particles of 99.99% pure silver suspended in water.

Why take Colloidal Silver?

Silver Colloid has been used successfully as a support to the body's natural immune system. It helps to support the body's immune response.

Colloidal Silver kills all single celled pathogens on contact. It was widely used prior to the discovery of penicillin and has no toxic effects.

How Does Colloidal Silver work?

Employing a simple catalytic reduction/oxidation reaction, colloidal silver when brought into contact with germs inhibit their growth by deactivating their oxygen metabolism enzymes. In turn, this destroys the microbe’s cell membranes, stopping the replication of its DNA.

Is Our Colloidal Silver Ionic Or A True Metallic Colloid?

We produce both types of Colloidal Silver; Ionic Silver, which we use for our external products only, and Metallic Silver for internal use only.

What Is The Difference Between The Two Types Of Colloidal Silver?

Ionic silver is actually not a true colloid but a compound, silver oxide,and is a clear liquid. It is as effective as true metallic silver colloids when used externally. However Ionic silver if taken internally is less effective. The Silver ions react within your body forming Silver Chloride and are also attracted to the the cell walls where they can accumulate. This seems the likely cause for the condition Argyria. True Colloidal Silver are negatively charged metal nano particles, they are repelled by the cells, which allows them to stay in the blood stream where they are most effective.

We produce possibly the best Colloidal Silver on the market, due to the process we use, our product is the safest for internal use. Other brands and home made "Colloidal Silver" can be almost all Ionic Silver, an easy guide is its colour, the more yellow it is the more metallic silver component it contains.

Why Is Our Colloidal Silver Such A Deep Yellow Colour?

The colour of colloidal silver is due to the effect of Plasmon resonance, metal particles absorb specific wavelengths of light and reflect the remaining. In the case of silver, blue is absorbed leaving the remaining light to be reflected as yellow. The colour of our product is an indicator of its very high percentage of metallic silver and optimum particle size.

How Much Should I Take?

We recommend that you only take colloidal silver if you are symptomatic of illness, if you are pregnant or breast feeding consult your doctor first.

We recommend taking 50-100mls up to 3 times a day. Dosage for Children should be based on their weight in comparison to an adult, i.e. Half adult weight, half the dosage. We recommend if you take colloidal silver for an extended period that you take a Pro-biotic supplement to replace the colon flora essential for proper digestion.

I Thought Colloidal Silver Was Sensitive To Light?

Ionic silver is and must be stored in dark bottles, our metallic silver however is not heat or light sensitive, hence our clear bottle. With such a stunning colour it would be a shame to hide it.
