About Colloidal Silver
Colloidal silver is a natural suspension of microscopic silver particles and ions in purified water. It has been used for generations as a powerful, natural remedy due to its broad-spectrum properties.
It acts as a high-risk anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral agent. It targets and neutralizes harmful microbes and bacteria in the body without disrupting your natural, healthy flora (good bacteria).
Yes. When manufactured to high pharmaceutical standards, colloidal silver is completely safe for everyday use. It is non-toxic, non-addictive, and can be used as a daily preventative measure for immune support and overall hygiene.
For most people, no. High-quality Colloidal Silver, like our liquid formulations, is virtually colorless and tasteless, however some of our customers have noted a slight metallic aftertaste that fades quickly. This makes it incredibly easy to administer to children, babies, and even pets.
Generic colloidal silver often consists of larger, uncharged silver particles that are less easily absorbed by the body. Silverlab products feature our proprietary ionic+ silver formulation (SilverRepair™). Ionic silver contains positively charged silver ions, which are highly biologically active, vastly more bioavailable, and deliver accelerated, fast-acting healing right where your body needs it.
"PPM" stands for Parts Per Million, which measures the concentration of silver in the liquid. Finding the perfect balance is critical for safety and efficacy. If the ppm is too low, the product won't be effective. If it is unnecessarily high, it offers no extra benefit and can lead to silver accumulation. We formulate our standard products at a scientifically optimised 18 ppm for maximum safety and efficacy, while our Nebulising Liquid is formulated at a targeted 25ppm to deliver the exact strength needed for respiratory support.
