To make safe* and effective* colloidal silver, you must have the purest water possible. You know better than to use basic tap water, but the purest water you can get is distilled. While the water may be distilled, it’s not nearly as pure as the water we start with, which meets USP-NF Standards for Pharmaceutical Grade Purified Water. Another name for this level of purity is Water For Injection (WFI), or ultra-pure deionized water. Silver wants to react with anything it can in the water, especially once you rip an electron off! Having ultra-pure water is critically important, so the silver doesn’t react until it is in your body.

We monitor everything in our manufacturing operations with constant in-process testing, but you likely don’t have an analytical laboratory operating under the stringent Good Laboratory Practices standards to monitor your products at home, leaving you to only judge the color of the liquid you’re making! We monitor numerous attributes during production, ensuring a consistent output and quality, consistently on a batch-to-batch basis and year-to-year. Prior to release, we again test almost a dozen different parameters to make sure that you get the same high-quality product out of each and every bottle, with accurate dosage information and consistent results.

Since there are no process or quality controls when making homemade colloidal silver, and no analytical laboratory to perform analyses, how do you know what ratio of charge your silver has and therefore the efficacy* of the product? Since the positively charged silver ion has been determined to be the most effective form of silver (i.e., silver that carries a charge, and not elemental [or neutral] silver), how much of your homemade silver possesses a charge? The more charge it has, the less silver you need. Also, is your silver mostly ionic or particulate? What is the particle size and distribution, and what degree of flocculation or aggregation exists? Aggregation can often only be seen with specialized equipment, and results in both dramatically decreased efficacy* and product instability.
