Colloidal silver is a popular alternative therapy. It is the term used to describe tiny particles of silver suspended in a liquid. Given their small size, a normal filtering process would not remove them. The size of the silver particles in colloidal silver can vary, but some are so tiny that they are referred to as 'nanoparticles'. This means that they are less than 100 nm in size and invisible to the naked eye. Before modern antibiotics were developed, colloidal silver was used as an all-purpose remedy for various health ailments.
Recently, it has experienced a revival in popularity, with families using it to support in general wellbeing and to support in the recovery from various health ailments. Those who use colloidal silver take it as a dietary supplement or apply it directly to their skin. The solution can be found in various strengths, depending on how much silver it contains. This information will usually be clearly stated on the label.
How does colloidal silver work?
Colloidal silver is said to have broad healing abilities when taken orally or placed on a wound. It’s suitable for both adults and children alike.
Research suggests that it attaches to proteins on the cell walls of bacteria allowing silver ions to pass into the cells, where they can interfere with the bacteria’s metabolic processes and damage its DNA, leading to the cell’s death.
A large number of small particles has a greater surface area than a lower number of large particles. As a result, a solution that contains more silver nanoparticles, which have a smaller particle size, may release more silver ions. Silver ions are released from the silver particles when they come into contact with moisture, such as body fluids.
