Silver Sol Not Ionic Silver
Until the creation of Silver Sol, only colloidal or ionic silver solutions were available. Many competing silver solution retailers claim that Silver Sol is a colloidal or ionic silver product. And they all claim that theirs is the superior product, naturally. However, none of them have been granted a patent for their process of creation, let alone two patents. The reason for this is simple – because Silver Sol is unique.
Silver Sol is a metallic silver solution and differs greatly from all other silver products on the market. It also delivers a huge difference in beneficial effect. This is not just the opinion of the manufacturer, but from a wide range of scientists at universities and independent labs that have taken it upon themselves to study the benefits of colloidal and ionic silver solutions in hopes of finding answers to some of the more pressing problems we have today.
First of all, the majority of ionic silver solutions you can buy today are fast and easy to create by adding chemically dissolved silver nitrate to distilled water. This is a highly unstable solution though, and a protein of some form such as potassium or citrate is added to render it stable. There is nothing unique or extraordinary about ionic silver. In fact, it is ionic silver that is most famous for causing the side effect from daily doses of supplement silver known as Argyria.
Ionic silver solutions are not pure water and silver particles as you can see now that you know how they are made. Colloidal silver solutions are also impure due to the way they are made.
Silver Sol contains metallic silver particles that are coated with unique silver ions, a totally different thing than ionic silver. It is imperative that the control of particle size be precise for the most beneficial effect. Silver Sol products have nano-silver particles that are smaller than average, giving them more surface area. It should be noted that silver particles that are too small drop in stablity and so does the positive effect of the product.
“In spite of this enormous range of data, it is extraordinary that no major effort has been made to confirm and expand on the role of metallic silver in human health–especially in light of its huge advantage in lack of side effects. (Ingestion of excessive amounts of ionic (soluble) silver, not metallic solid particles is reported to have resulted in a very rare condition labeled argyria, an (irreversible?) darkening of the skin. No one has died of this condition. The safety of metallic
silver sols is firmly established…” Prof. Rustun Roy, Penn State University
