True Colloidal Silver vs. Ionic Silver Solution
There is much discussion about the different ways of processing silver
for immune system support. Makers of true colloidal silver suggest they
have the most effective product while companies making solutions of
silver ions (hydrosol) claim they have the upper hand. It is interesting
to note that products of silver ions often market themselves under the
guise of “colloidal silver” rather than ionic silver. However,
we never see the reverse where a company offering a true silver colloid
markets itself as “ionic silver”.
Colloidal silver or ionic silver, does it really matter? After all,
they both contain silver, right? Yes, they both contain silver, however
in the case of ionic silver, the silver atoms are missing an electron,
thereby changing the physical property of the element. Silver ions dissolve
in water; indeed silver ions cannot exist outside of water. When water
from an ionic silver solution is evaporated, what is left is a thin
layer of silver oxide. Silver oxide has only very minimal anti-bacterial
properties. In contrast, when we evaporate the water from a colloidal
suspension of silver we leave behind a thin layer of silver particles,
thereby offering the same anti-bacterial properties as the colloidal
suspension.
While makers of ionic silver claim to have a more effective product,
laboratory tests indicate otherwise. In independent laboratory tests,
Mesosilver (true colloidal silver) was tested against a leading brand
of ionic silver. Both products were tested against Escherichia coli
(E-coli). At the end of the 24 hour testing period, the tests using
Mesosilver had no measureable remaining bacteria. The tests with ionic
silver, however, still showed significant bacterial activity. As a matter
of fact, it took only six hours for Mesosilver to reduce the bacterial
level to the level of bacteria still present after 24 hours in the ionic
silver test. (Read
the entire test report here.)
Mesosilver is made by a technical process that takes very pure silver
and creates a suspension of pure silver particles suspended in water.
This colloidal suspension provides you with the highest bioavailability
of all silver products made.
