Colloidal Silver Sizes
Early forms of medicinal silver consisted of fine silver powder mixed in solutions and crèmes. These large particles worked for some applications but the particle size was too big to enter individual cells. Today, super-minute ions of silver are held in suspension in de-ionized water by an electrical charge. These ions are small enough to enter the cell where viruses hide.
The microscopic size of the silver ion allows easy passage into and out of the cellular tissues.
Ionic silver water looks clear and tastes like water. Other silver products appear gray or yellow because of their large particle size or additives.
Only ionic silver has a positive electrical charge and remains in suspension and active for years, even after being frozen solid or heated.
Ionic silver is not affected by light or temperature. Non-ionic silver must be stored in dark bottles away from temperature extremes or it quickly falls out of solution.
While many products are called "colloidal silver", only the ionic form is small enough to penetrate the cell wall which makes it much more effective. The silver ions do not accumulate in tissues but are rapidly expelled in a few hours and cannot turn your skin blue. See the colloidal silver water generator.
