Is Colloidal Silver Brown?

You can tell the difference between colloidal silver and colloidal gold by looking at its color: it ranges from yellowish-brown to brownish-brown (or the age of the product respectively).

Should colloidal silver be clear or brown?

You're looking for the best silver immune support supplement, so you go online to find it. Among the brands you're evaluating are A, B and C. All of them seem to be saying something different, and they often contradict each other. It can be a bit of a headache.

In order to save you, we've chosen the TRUE SCIENCE of silver! But how can you tell if our science is better than that of any other brand? It's entirely up to you whether or not to take a supplement like Sovereign Silver. However, we can tell you that millions of people have decided to do so due to our science, and we have a 63% market share in the Silver Supplement category.

What color should your silver product be and why? That is the topic of our new series, Busting Silver Myths, which begins today.

Yellow is Your Caution Sign

Colloidal silver with large particle sizes has a yellow/amber color due to a scientific phenomenon known as Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), which means that it absorbs all visible light except for yellow wavelengths. Since light in the visible range is not absorbed by nanoparticles smaller than 5nm, they look colorless.

As a result, you may be wondering: “Okay, so which is better, small or large particles…color or no color?”

In the case of silver supplements… Smaller is Actually Better – which means that colorless is better!

Colloidal Silver is often a yellow or amber-colored dispersion of neutral (larger) silver particles. The body has a harder time absorbing, processing, and excreting large particles of silver in most colloidal silvers because they have less surface area. The neutral silver particles have to be expelled, which increases the danger of poisoning. This is a risk. Bioactive silver in colloidal silver might be as low as 13% or lower.

In contrast, Sovereign Silver Bio-Active Silver HydrosolTM packs a two-punch punch with more than 98% bio-active silver ions, and silver nanoclusters, than colloidal silver. Third-party verification shows that the particle size of Sovereign Silver is as small as 0.8 nanometers, which is unusual in a dispersion this fine. Since 1999, we've tested over 200 different brands of silver and none have come close.

The Science Speaks For Itself

Using different silver brands raises a number of important questions that you should be asking yourself. (Ask to see the scientific evidence!

At 110,000x magnification, all of these photos were obtained. Large silver particles may be seen in the black areas and spots on the photos to the right. The Sovereign Silver sample to the left has a particle size and dispersion that are both much smaller.

Because silver can only be transformed to bioactive forms at the surface of a particle, the smaller the particle, the easier it is for the body to absorb and discard.

How do you know if colloidal silver is real?

Because silver nanoparticles absorb light at a wavelength of 400 nm, liquids containing true colloidal silver appear amber when viewed via a light source. The concentration of silver nanoparticles can be gauged by the darkness of the amber color. A product with a PPM of five will have a light amber color, whereas a PPM of twenty will have a darker amber color. It's hard to tell the difference between a fifty PPM and a zero PPM product. A product is not always real colloidal silver just because it is amber in color. There are a number of reasons why electrolyzed ionic silver solutions can appear amber or dark amber.

Does colloidal silver change color?

Crystal Clear, amber-colored colloidal silver water resembles iced tea. Colloidal silver's hue is due to its extremely high concentration of particles, not to its size or impurity.

Darkness was thought to signify the presence of big silver particles, and this was the conventional wisdom up until recently. In the case of colloidal silver, this is the case when different techniques of production are employed.

Crystal colloidal silver's extremely small particle size has been proven by employing the most advanced testing methods for particles of this size.

Malvern Equipment Ltd. in England makes the High-Performance Particle Size (HPPS) measuring instrument, which is capable of measuring colloidal particles as small as 0.65 nm. According to the Malvern HPPS Particle Report, the Crystal Silver particles have a diameter of 0.65 nm, which equates to 19 to 20 atoms. Because of this, these colloidal silver particles are the tiniest available in any commercially available product.

After opening, the color of Crystal Silver may shift to gray, depending on the pollution levels in the surrounding environment.. If the product's color changes, it's not a sign of a problem and shouldn't be a cause for alarm. It has no effect on the product's performance (functioning).

What color is good colloidal silver?

Colloidal silver's color serves as a key indicator of the product's quality. Clear is the best color. It is possible that larger clumps of colloidal silver particles, which are more difficult to absorb and so less powerful, could form in a clear solution. Larger silver particles tend to settle to the bottom of the bottle, as shown by darker colors.

OTHERS: There are a lot of them. The color of the suspension changes from bright yellow to yellow, to brown, to red, to gray, and finally to black as the size of the silver particles increases.

How long does colloidal silver last once opened?

We recommend using our Colloidal Silver within six months of opening, even though it has a minimum shelf life of two years. It's possible to keep Colloidal Silver in a glass bottle for more than a decade, and we have a client who has done so.

Because this is the reason why. Particle silver is vulnerable to external influences and the magnitude of these impacts is related to the thickness of bottle wall. The dissolved ionic silver level is relatively stable. Glass is heavier and hence better at protecting fragile charges than plastic, but when recycled appropriately, plastic is lighter and thus better for the environment.

If you want to keep your Colloidal Silver safe, keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat.

You should keep your Colloidal Silver in an old pantry, which has dim lighting and is rather chilly.

What is the purest colloidal silver?

True colloid silver, MesosilverTM, is the best available on the market right now. When it comes to particle size to concentration, this is the most effective and most cost-effective solution available.

What is true colloidal silver used for?

Colloidal silver supplements, on the other hand, are being marketed as a cure-all by some companies. Their claims include alleviating chest congestion and preventing or treating viral infections like the common cold. It's possible that colloidal silver is used to cure a wide range of illnesses, from cancer to HIV and AIDS. Research does not support these claims.

Why does colloidal silver make you turn blue?

Argyria can be caused by a sequence of intricate chemical processes, according to work done by scientists at Brown University. Because of this, when silver is consumed, it is broken down and taken into our bloodstream as silver salt ions, which are positively charged.

Because of the sulfur in blood protein, silver salt ions easily bind with the sulfur and are deposited in the skin. If it is exposed to sunlight, the salt changes back to silver, which creates a blueish-gray appearance to the skin.

It's the photochemical reaction in black-and-white photography that causes the bluish-gray skin tone by converting the salt ions back to silver.

How does colloidal silver make you turn blue?

If you take silver supplements, utilize silver-based medications, or work in an environment where silver particles are present, you may develop argyria.

In your stomach acid, the silver corrodes and becomes silver salt that can travel through your bloodstream and end up on the surface of your skin. It transforms back to silver when exposed to the sun, and this causes your skin to turn a shade of blue. In black-and-white photography, silver undergoes a similar transformation.
