The best colloidal silver is an "ionic" colloidal silver. Any brand that is ionic is fine.
There are five things you should know about "colloidal silver" ...
- The type of colloidal silver is more important than the brand.
- A type known as ionic colloidal silver is more easily absorbed, and expelled, so it's very difficult to get argyria, the blue-gray skin condition so many people fear.
- Ionic colloidal silver is also MUCH more effective than colloidal silver, due to the smaller size of the ionic silver.
- There are many good brands of ionic colloidal silver.
- The best ionic colloidal silver will have a ratio of 85% ionic silver to 15% colloidal silver.

Why use ionic colloidal silver?
1. See these slide images from lab tests which show ionic form is most effective. A picture is worth a thousand words.
See Sources and related links below "Particulate vs Ionic Silver"
2. See this collection of studies showing ionic silver works better than colloidal silver (silver particulates).
See Sources and related links "Research on Colloidal Silver"
3. According to Canadian (BC) government, "The ionic form of silver is necessary".
See Sources and related links "Ambient Water Quality Criteria for Silver"
According to expert congressional testimony, not much silver is needed to be effective.

Typical uses of colloidal silver include:
- Spraying, for lung or nasal infections, by inhaling deeply (use the dosage as directed on labels)
- Spraying onto cuts, burns, sunburns, sores, cold sores, bandages, frequently.
- Drops are used (held under the tongue for a minute or so) for internal needs.
According to EPA, the daily dose believed to be safe is 350 mcg of silver daily, for up to 70 years. At this level, one can safely consume seven teaspoons daily of a 10 ppm "colloidal" silver solution. And, a 20 ppm silver solution will have a max daily dose of 3.5 teaspoons. So, you should beware of products having more than 30 ppm of silver with a dose of more than two teaspoons per day. Some products available on the internet have a concentration in the 100 ppm or more. These high concentrations produce a greater risk of argyria (blue/gray skin) from silver accumulation. As you can see from the list of effective concentrations of silver (the Congressional Testimony) such high amounts of silver are unnecessary, since most microbes die off at well under 10 ppm of silver.
90-99% of silver is removed by the body in two days, according to animal studies (Google). The remainder is removed in the following one to four weeks, so an approriate break from silver use can prevent the undesirable side-effect of blue/gray skin.
According to the BC Canadian government,
"Silver is a disinfectant for non-spore forming bacteria at concentrations about 1000 times lower than the levels at which it is toxic to mammalian life."
See Sources and related links "Ambient Water Quality Criteria for Silver"
According to the US FDA,
"Silver has been known for its antimicrobial properties for decades"
See Sources and related links "FDA: 'Silver has been known for its antimicrobial properties for decades'
According to Cancer.gov
Definition: antimicrobial
"A substance that kills microorganisms such as bacteria or mold, or stops them from growing and causing disease."
See Sources and related links "Definition: antimicrobial"
Best Hint:
Look for a brand that says its completely clear in color, and mostly ionic (70% ionic or more). Yellow color is OK for short term use, but avoid darker colored products, also avoid any higher than 20 ppm, since this is an unnecessary risk for blue skin. There are no other risks for colloidal silver use.
In fact, according to Health Canada (Canada's health dept), if you ate all your fruits and vegetables, everyday, especially mushrooms, you'd probably get more silver in your body than from a daily dose or two of an ionic colloidal silver.
The best brands of colloidal silver typically have a ratio of 85% ionic silver.

Do you have colloidal Silver?
colloidal silver Do you have Colloidal Silver
Is colloidal silver toxic?
Pure colloidal silver is not toxic. Colloidal means very small subatomic particle down to the atom. But follow the recommended dose for your amount of ppm.
Why is colloidal silver used for burns?
Silver, colloidal or ionic silver, silver in solution, is a potent antibacterial product.Because of silver's antibacterial properties, colloidal silver has been found to prevent the infection resulting from burns.For minor burns, colloidal silver may be applied topically after the burn is cleaned with soap and cold water and gently dried. To avoid the risk of infection, topical application of colloidal silver should be made to blistered or open burn wounds.Hospitals use a silver treatment to dress scars and wounds especially wounds that resist healing. The colloidal silver will speed wound healing and reduce the amount of scarring.
Can you take the birth control pill Microgynon 20mg with colloidal silver?
Yes, as long as you take the recommended dose of colloidal silver,
When are colloidal silver products used?
Colloidal silver products are used as dietary supplements. Colloidal silver is also sometimes marketed as having other health benefits, but it is not safe to take. It can cause discoloration of the skin and other issues.
Does colloidal silver kill mollusum?
On the internet, there are many anecdotal reports of colloidal silver alleviating or even curing molluscum infections. But it is not recognized by orthodox medicine as an effective treatment. Most molluscum victims who have reported success with colloidal silver agree that nano-particle colloidal silver works better than conventional colloidal silver. That means colloidal silver solutions containing very tiny silver particles between one and one hundred nanometers in size works best. According to internet reports, this is because the smaller silver particles are best able to penetrate the molluscum cell. "Nano-particle colloidal silver" can be found on the internet by googling that phrase. Two good brands are Sovereign Silver and ASAP Silver. From what I've seen, most people who have reported using colloidal silver successfully against molluscum say that it took many days or even weeks worth of treatment. Most of them used colloidal silver orally as well as topicallly, drinking two or three teaspoons or more daily, and also spraying colloidal silver directly onto the molluscum outbreak several times a day using a pump spray bottle, and allowing the colloidal silver to air dry on the skin. Unfortunately, nano-particle colloidal silver is very expensive, often costing anywhere from $15 to $30 for a tiny, four-ounce bottle. Such a small bottle would last about a week, if that, when treating molluscum. You might be better off purchasing a device called a colloidal silver generator, that allows you to make your own high-quality colloidal silver for just a few cents per each quart batch. That way, you can make all of the colloiidal silver you want, any time you need it, for only a few pennies. If you choose to go this route, make sure you get a colloidal silver generator that can produce the tiny, nano-particles of colloidal silver, rather than one that produces only a conventional colloidal silver solution. I personally use the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from www.TheSilverEdge.com. It produces silver particles as low as .0008 microns in size, which is a fraction of a single micron, or smaller than a single nanometer. No other colloidal silver generator I know of produces silver particles that small. You can read about it on several web sites, including www.TheSilverEdge and www.MicroParticleGenerator.com You can see a Transmission Electron Microsope slide of these tiny silver particles produced by the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator here: http://thesilveredge.com/mp5.shtml And you can view short, 3-minute video showing how this simple machine works, here: http://thesilveredge.com/vidclip.shtml Finally, you can read tons of articles about the amazing, infection-fighting power of colloidal silver at the Colloidal Silver Secrets blog, at www.ColloidalSilverSecrets.blogspot.com
