Many people are turning to Colloidal Silver as a method to boost immune function as well as maintain a healthy, balanced body system. With the rising interest in colloidal silver products, many companies are offering solutions of ionic silver, or silver hydrosol, which contain very few actual silver particles, but instead are made up of silver ions. What’s the difference? Ionic silver is not metallic silver nanoparticles. Metallic silver is not water soluble, ionic silver is. Silver, in its ionic form, is highly reactive, allowing it to combine to form compounds. It’s ingestion of this form of ionic silver that could lead to the condition argyria, a discoloration of the skin.
True Colloidal Silver is made up of silver nanoparticles, not ions, and is an insoluble compound, which prevents it from dissolving and forming the compound silver chloride, the cause of argyria. Only silver nanoparticles can survive inside the human body, which means they are the only form of silver with healthy bioavailability. Silver nanoparticles will circulate in your blood where they can work their magic, before being filtered by your body and passed as waste.
Unfortunately, ionic silver is very simple to make and most products contain primarily ionic silver, with very few silver particles. So how can you tell if you are getting ionic silver solution, or genuine Liquid Colloidal Silver? Ionic silver solution looks just like water, it is clear and colorless. Colloidal silver with a high concentration of silver particles is a darker liquid because the silver particles block light from passing through. MesoSilver is the only product whose silver content is specified in terms of the concentration of silver nanoparticles and that publishes the particle size. It contains no binders or protein additives, which are potentially dangerous. MesoSilver is the only Colloidal Silver product that publishes the value of its particle surface area, which is p to 600 times greater than other products.
