WHAT IS COLLOIDAL SILVER?
What is colloidal silver and what is it used for? Let’s try to clarify!
Colloidal silver is a pure silver-based trace element, and is made up of very fine particles suspended in double-distilled water.The concentration in the preparation is expressed in ppm (= parts per million).
What determines its validity is not only the amount of ppm, or the concentration of metal, but the size of these silver particles dispersed in the water. It is indeed essential that these are small in size.
Hence, the smaller these particles are, the more effective the product is.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
There has been talk of colloidal silver since ancient times: before the advent of antibiotics, colloidal silver was widely used in the treatment of various infections, both internally and externally.
Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated the active role of colloidal silver in the elimination of bacteria and viruses.
Its effectiveness depends on: size and concentration of the silver particles in the aqueous solution.
The particles, once in contact with fluids – such as body fluids – release silver ions. These represent the biologically active part of colloidal silver, as they are capable of binding to the cell wall of bacteria and viruses with a toxic effect on the body.
