After many years of only using glass, we have sourced a suitable plastic alternative to add to our range. Although we prefer glass, we realise good quality plastic is more than suitable for medium to high consumption user and even as a low-cost refill. We are all aware costs are always rising and this will help us to be able to supply our high-quality solution at a reasonable price.
That means extra packaging is required and it also has a higher energy cost both in the manufacture, recycling and because of the extra weight — increased postage costs. Everything that has a charge will eventually discharge. This is called leakage. Both glass and plastic are excellent insulators BUT the wall of a glass bottle is many times thicker than a plastic bottle so its leakage is much less.
So we have now introduced this as our standard refill bottle. We will always use glass in our starter kits and glass will always be available but because of cost, it will be a premium range. Because glass is fragile, we only supply up to ml in glass bottles. There are several manufacturers that claim they use We have found that anything purer than In a 14 PPM solution, there are , parts of water to 14 parts of silver.
The level of impurities in the water is therefore many times more important. PPM is NOT an indicator of strength, its just an indicator of how much silver there is in the solution. Unfortunately, particle sizes increase with PPM so a higher PPM solution can have a much higher particle size due to a process called agglomeration. This is undesirable and should be avoided. Water Quality:- Obtaining steam distilled water is virtually impossible. Most water is deionized, which makes a massive difference to the final product.
We manufacture our own steam distilled water, as laboratory tests have shown that this produces the best particle size range. We experimented with filtration systems but they all produced larger particles size ranges.
Not good. The use of borosilicate glass and thermal stirring also helps to produce a higher quality solution. Maturation of the product is vital. We calibrate our test instruments against laboratory results. We specialise in the manufacture of Traditional Amber Colloidal Silver, which contains silver nanoparticles. These nanoparticles absorb and scatter light with extraordinary efficiency and the yellow colour is caused by surface plasmon resonance SPR.
Silver had been used in medicine for centuries, touted as a cure-all for everything from tuberculosis and arthritis to herpes and cancer. Even today, many alternative practitioners believe that colloidal silver offers health benefits by supporting immune function and preventing or treating infections, both common and severe.
Despite claims to the contrary, colloidal silver has no known function in the body. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration FDA ruled in that these colloidal silver products were neither safe nor effective and sued a number of manufacturers over false health claims. While many colloidal silver products were removed from drugstore shelves following the FDA ruling, they have since been rebranded as dietary supplements or homeopathic remedies , neither of which require FDA approval.
Manufacturers of colloidal silver often broadly claim that their products are capable of stimulating the immune system and helping the body heal itself. Proponents believe that the supplement can aid in wound healing, improve skin disorders, and either prevent or treat diseases like the flu, pneumonia, herpes, eye infections, shingles, cancer, and AIDS.
Many of these claims have been supported by test tube studies in which colloidal silver has been shown to exert powerful antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory effects. What the studies fail to show is what happens outside of the test tube. Moreover, there remains little evidence that silver exerts the same antimicrobial properties when internalized. Ultimately, the human body has no need for silver. It is not an essential mineral and serves no biological function of any sort.
While silver toxicity is rare, silver can accumulate in the body over months and years. This can lead to severe disfigurement and potentially harmful deposits in the liver, spleen, kidney, muscle, and brain, according to research from Imperial College in London.
That is not to say that silver offers no health benefits. When used topically on the skin , colloidal silver can aid in healing and prevent infection. A number of studies have investigated the use of silver-containing dressings on skin ulcers and wounds. A study from Iran concluded that a topical ointment containing silver nanoparticles was able to reduce skin inflammation during healing and speed the regrowth of skin compared to people provided a placebo.
This suggests that the short-term, topical use of silver-containing products have their place in treatment. People who take colloidal silver may not experience any immediate side effects.
The concerns are related more to the long-term consequences of colloidal silver use as particles gradually accumulate and embed themselves in organs and tissues, most especially the skin. Over time, this can lead to a permanent, disfiguring condition called argyria in which tissues take on a bluish-gray discoloration.
Headache, fatigue, and myoclonic seizures may also occur. Although it is unclear what toxicity silver poses to internal organs, animal studies have shown that inordinately high levels can interfere with kidney and liver function, damage the central nervous system, and instigate the release of calcium from bones. It is not known how silver affects reproduction or pregnancy, but research issued by the National Toxicology Program suggests that silver does not cause cancer.
There have been several deaths linked with colloidal silver use, including one case report published in Neurology in which a year-old man died after taking a daily dose of colloidal silver for four months.
In addition to potential health hazards, colloidal silver is known to interact with a number of medications, either by reducing their effectiveness, increasing side effects, or impairing liver function as the drug is metabolized. Possible interactions include:. On its own, colloidal silver should be fine, but contaminants may eventually cause a problem. Cartoonist Scott Adams once wrote an anecdote about nearly drinking a spider when he woke in the middle of the night for a drink, which is to point out that strange things happen, and two seconds of looking can prevent a lot of unfortunate accidents.
Some people like to add a little colloidal silver to their water bottle so they can spread immune support out over their day. Does colloidal silver go bad? Not usually, with a few minimal precautions no freezing and common sense, your colloidal silver should be fine for a long time.

Can Colloidal Silver be used on Plants and Vegetables?
Yes, when you plant anything new, water your plant with Colloidal Silver. Use it as a fungicide to spray your plants and fruit trees to keep them free from blight, bacterial pests , leaf curl and moulds. What is Argyria? A side effect of Silver when made with inferior water, heavy metal and taken in excess, was a condition called Argyria. The cause of this is when silver particles become lodged under the skin, fingernails and under the eyes giving the skin a blue grey look.
