1. Colloidal ionic silver will turn me blue.
False! Although there are low-quality colloidal silver products that have large particles, concentrations greater than 80ppm ( cf.TOXNET) and are retained in the body or have chemical compounds (nitrates, salts, proteins) in their composition, colloidal ionic silver does not cause argyria. Only the low-quality products listed above, ingested in large quantities, can cause argyria (a benign condition consisting of bluish-grey discolouration of the skin). Manufacturers of colloidal neutral, simple, non-ionic silver believe that it is precisely silver ions that cause argyria because they turn into a salt and accumulate in the body. We will show later that this is not the case and the pseudo-knowledge of non-ionic colloidal silver traders should be replaced by the truth about salts, namely that they, accumulated in excess, are eliminated urgently! Take the resulting urine after a heavy meal in which you have consumed a lot of salt for analysis and you will see an impressive amount of salt. Kidney function quickly eliminates any excess salts.
ARGENTUM+® has very small particles (0.5-4.5nm, particles that leave the body within 72 hours), contains no chemical compounds, is 100% natural, and cannot cause heartburn. PURE LIFE® has been offering ionic colloidal silver for almost 10 years, even selling hundreds of tons, and no cases of argyria have been found in our country.
2. Quality colloidal silver should not be transparent but yellowish or grey.
False! Pure colloidal ionic silver is transparent even at a concentration of 77ppm (80ppm being the maximum allowed according to excretion studies). It is quite amazing how perfectly clear water can taste so concentrated metallically. Yellowish or greyish shades indicate: chemical solutions with silver, large particles (over 50nm), agglomerations of particles reflecting light, oxidation of particles, other compounds (stabilisers, salts, proteins) or impurities. A clear solution of ionic colloidal silver shows complete dispersion of ultra-fine silver particles in very pure pharmaceutical grade water (0.00ppm, 0TDS, <1uS/cm2).
3. The higher the PPM (concentration), the more effective the product.
False! What makes the product effective is not the concentration of the solution but the particle size. The smaller the particle, the easier it is to assimilate into the body (bio-accessible) and the greater the coverage area (ratio of particle size to solution concentration). This is essential in defining the effectiveness of a solution with suspended (colloidal) particles.
4. Neutral colloidal silver particles (Ag) are more beneficial than positively charged particles (Ag+).
False! Some manufacturers claim that neutral silver particles are the ones that have beneficial effects. However medical treatises (Dr. O. Becker’s paper) and university medical specialists (Vicky Colvin, Rice University) claim that positive silver ions are actually the active particles. Instead the role of non-ionic particles is to periodically emit a silver ion, a weak, slow emission over time. Recent research has found that the degree of wellbeing of the colloidal silver solution “is closely related to the level of silver ion (Ag+) concentration”. Normally any solution with colloidal silver also has approx. 5-10% silver ions – if made correctly, in ultra pure water. Our ionic colloidal silver solution contains approx. 90-95% silver ions. In fact the equipment for producing neutral, simple, non-ionic colloidal silver is very cheap. Hand-made devices that perform a banal hydrolysis (you can also do it with batteries or batteries connected in series) or colloidal silver home generators cost even 25-50Euro. You need two wires of .999 purity silver and deionised water from the petrol station to be a colloidal silver producer. On the other hand, equipment for the production of ionic colloidal silver with a very high concentration of silver ions is extremely expensive due to the complex process of obtaining silver ions and ultrafine particles of 0.5-4.5 such as the ARGENTUM+ solutions produced by PURE LIFE. A 10ppm solution containing a high percentage of silver ions can be much more efficient than a 500ppm solution containing neutral particles of non-ionic colloidal silver!
5. Colloidal ionic silver will destroy my intestinal flora.
False! Taken orally as recommended, ARGENTUM+® will be absorbed very quickly in the upper gastrointestinal tract, not affecting the saprophytic bacterial flora in the body. For this reason it is not necessary to take probiotics to “compensate” for the action of silver. In addition the big difference between ionic and non-ionic solutions is that ionic colloidal solutions are basic. A basic solution will never destroy intestinal flora.
6. The silver ions in colloidal ionic silver are actually chemical compounds.
False! Silver ions have nothing to do with chemical compounds. They are obtained naturally directly from ultra-fine (99.99%) purity silver platelets and not from chemical reactions. In fact, solutions with a high concentration of silver ions (Ag+) make classical colloidal silver solutions look old-fashioned, due to major differences in effectiveness. The taste of the ionic colloidal solution being much more intense than the salty taste of non-ionic colloidal silver (some manufacturers claim that they deliberately produce concentrated silver with a slightly bitter taste – as if the taste of a metal can be manipulated!) leads those who produce non-ionic colloidal silver to launch accusations that it is in fact a chemical product, such as silver nitrate, as was the case of a Romanian manufacturer against us. Anyone can buy an ARGENTUM+® silver ion solution from PURE LIFE® and test it. We assure you that you will only see silver on the analysis receipt.
7. Silver ions interact with various substances in the body, producing chemical reactions that can be harmful to health.
False! Silver ions are positively charged silver particles (Ag+). In the body they are bio-accessible and bio-active with a catalytic role. In general, natural ions in food integrate harmoniously into the cellular structure with a basic pH. Consider the iron ions in spinach. They do not mix with the salt in the stomach, making a toxic iron salt. Those who “prove” that ionic colloidal solutions are no good by “demonstrating” that they put a teaspoon of salt in the ionic colloidal solution and it becomes translucent, with a cloud on top of the solution, thus demonstrating that the ionic colloidal solution becomes, supposedly, inactive, and therefore no good (showing pseudo-science, a limited knowledge of the functions of the human body), one would have to ask whether there is anything else in the body but salt, whether the salt that would be produced in the stomach is not also broken down in the small intestine, as is the case with all salts (there are over 19 types of salts in the body), leaving the silver ion free to interact with the pathogen. So even if salt were to form, it will break down and cannot be harmful. There is no scientific study that a silver salt would be harmful, nor is there any scientific study that the silver so grouped (as a salt) becomes inactive. The truth about the interaction with gastric juice is the following: silver ions (Ag+) are taken up by the metallotransporter proteins in the oral saliva and oesophagus. The metallotransporter proteins envelop the silver ions protecting them from the increased acidity in the gastric juice by releasing them into the small intestine.
In conclusion: if colloidal (non-ionic) silver were better than colloidal ionic silver then PURE LIFE® would produce no-good colloidal silver! Especially since the so-called production equipment is very cheap! We are interested in quality. And quality has a production price.
This allows some producers of colloidal (non-ionic) silver to charge exorbitant prices compared to the quality of their product, a little lower than ours, and in their greed even to attack our product, considering that ours is either chemical, or toxic, or less concentrated than we specify on the labels and so on.
Here is the real price of colloidal silver (non-ionic):
– 500ml of deionized water costs 2,5lei
– 1mm silver wire, purity .999, size 2x15cm costs 30 lei and would easily last 30 production cycles, so it would cost 1leu per cycle
– battery price (unless you opt for a colloidal silver generator which pays for itself at 3 lei per production)
In conclusion 500ml of colloidal silver would actually cost 5.5 lei! And if you use the biological reduction method (you can find it online) to obtain yellowish colloidal silver, the colour of urine, then the price of 500ml colloidal silver (non-ionic, organic) would cost 6.5lei (the substances used are very cheap).
Do you wonder why colloidal silver producers (neutral, plain, non-ionic) are throwing stones at those who produce ionic colloidal silver? We don’t!
PURE LIFE®: In 2009, when we started production of colloidal ionic silver, we found that in the United States the company Purest Colloids, which produces a so-called colloidal silver, almost black in color, called MesoSilver, was fiercely attacking the colloidal ionic silver producer NATURAL IMMUNOGENICS which is the number one producer of colloidal silver in the US because of the resounding success of its SilverSovereign product which is only 10ppm but has an extremely small particle size of 2nm and a huge ionic concentration of 98%. (Those of you in the US or traveling, I highly recommend this product even if it is more expensive than the others!). After congratulating us on achieving a similar production method to Hydrosol – their patented American silver ion solution, they warned us that we would be heavily attacked by the “other” colloidal silver producers who, once we hit the market, would also be popping up like mushrooms after the rain.
At first we didn’t believe it, colloidal silver was barely known in Romania and we were preparing for a correct information at national level. However, to our dismay, after we notified the first product to the IBA (being the first producers of colloidal solutions for domestic use in Romania), we found ourselves not only with a so-called competition (we never considered those who produce only colloidal, non-ionic silver as real competition), but with phone calls from them to the shops where we sell the product so that the sellers could be informed that we actually produce silver nitrate! Otherwise “it cannot be explained” – they say – why our colloidal silver tastes so intense compared to theirs.
When we found out who they were, we could have notified the authorities because we knew very well that they were producing their colloidal silver in a commonplace garage in plastic barrels, but we thought it inappropriate to attack them, hoping that in time they would discover that we were producing quality colloidal ionic silver. Nine years have passed since then and we are still having to defend ourselves against these individuals who have not even been able to adhere to the HACCP rules of production as we have, and by doing so we demonstrate impeccable production, they do not even have SANEPID authorization (they don’t know who we are talking about), fire brigade (they don’t know who we are talking about), environment (they don’t know who we are talking about) not even DSP Bucharest knows who we are talking about. Moreover, the fine from the Ministry of Health due to the fact that they wrote on a cosmetic product, notified to the MS, that it is for internal use, did not relieve them. Good thing they then came with their tail between their legs to us, to help them, to take them into space, with the promise that they will bury the hatchet.
Their only “advantage” is the international CPNP notification that nobody ever checks. Anyone with a company can notify a cosmetic product, in this case mouthwash, in less than 15 minutes. But it’s not the notification that’s the problem, it’s the production: where, under what hygiene conditions, with what?
We hereby ask them to stop this embarrassing war and stop spreading their pseudo-knowledge about colloidal ionic silver. What is amazing is that even Capra Nera produces colloidal silver with silver ions, we congratulate them on this way for the purity and professionalism of their products, but they had nothing to say! Nor about SECOM’s First Defense product, which has silver ions, they had nothing to say. Until we take it personally, please stop.
Otherwise we will have to sell colloidal (non-ionic) silver at the true price (for those who really think colloidal silver is better than ionic colloidal silver) to teach these people who think they know everything about colloidal minerals a lesson. To notify the authorities we won’t because we don’t want them on our conscience. We hope that maybe they will get scared that this is possible and at least orient themselves to produce under the law.
Thank you

To avoid being accused of subjectivity, you can still read the article written by America’s number 1 producer, and this is no coincidence:https://sovereignsilver.com/busting-silver-myths-should-colloidal-silver-be-amber-or-clear/
De doi ani , de cind am descoperit argintul coloidal ionic, produs de Pure Life, îl consum zi de zi si eu si familia mea( copii, nepoți, soț, mamă) si nu ne-am albăstrit si nu am avut nici o reacție adversă nici unul dintre noi! Din contră , ne-a ajutat foarte mult in timpul răcelilor dar si preventiv , nu am mai avut dureri articulare , mie mi-a ridicat imunitatea si am reusit sa-mi rezolv problemele de sănătate(mastoidită, infecții articulare provocate de staffilococul aureus incă din copilărie si altele) , starile depresive au fost eliminate , stare generala mult mai buna la fiecare dintre noi! Îi mulțumesc în fiecare zi lui Dumnezeu ca i-a inspirat pe cei care produc acest argint coloidal si ca la rîndul lui ne ajută si pe noi , cei mulți! Am recomandat si celor din jurul meu si recunosc faptul ca o parte ditre ei sunt sceptici iar o parte chiar il folosesc si apoi imi mulțumesc! Dar fiecare avem dreptul la alegere! Imi este teama ca intr-o zi aceasta firma a unor oameni cu suflet , nu vor mai fi lăsați sa îl produca , pt ca ne este de mare folos si elimina tratarea multor afectiuni , cu medicamente chimice( aviz producatorii de medicamente). Cu parere de rău afirm că oamenii încă apelează la medicamente chimice mai mult decît este cazul si nu au încredere si in medicina alternativă. Dar si medicî sunt de vina pt ca ei asa sunt invațati din facultate si nu vor sa se mai informeze pe parcursul vietii si de alte metode de tratament. Atunci cind este cazul sa tratam chimic si cind este cazul sa tratam naturist sau cu produse ca acesta, argint coloidal. In concluzie eu si familia mea suntem foarte multumiti de argintul coloidal ionic si nu ne lipseste din casa! De aproape 3 ani , zi de zi l-am consumat!
Va multumim mult pentru aceasta relatare.
Am citit site-ul lor. Bat campii. Dupa cum se exprima. Am citit explicatia lor la articolul despre ionii de argint. Mereu m-am întrebat care e mai bun, unii zic una, alții alta. Iar aceia zic din start ca fac aceasta ca sa incheie razboiul dintre cei cu argint si cei cu ioni. Si il incheie zicand ca ionii sunt mai buni. Cum spuneti dvs. Ii citati identic. Ei au scris o explicatie de te doare mintea. Prima fraza si ultima. Iar titlul e clar Ions, not particles, make silver toxic to bacteria. E clar. E limpede. Sa vedeti ce raspuns, ca ati decupat din context. Pai daca spuneti doar titlul, concluziv, ce context? Trebuia sa-i dati in gat atunci cu garajul. Ati fost prosti, platiti.
De unde ati achizitionat produsul de pe site sau din magazin ?
Folosesc argint coloidal ionic de un an. Nu am mai avut gripa iar săptămâna trecută (sâmbăta duminica) am scăpat de o infecție dentara urata. În doua zile! Fără antibiotice! Poate ca detractorii și diletanți acestui produs ar trebui să-și revizuiască politica.
Buna ziua, Am folosit Argint coloidal.ionic de la Dvs, de 30 ppm, în nas si gat, de cateva ori (4_5), nestiind ca sunt însărcinată. Este vreo problema, am.citit pe un anumit site ca ar putea da malformatii fatului?
Va multumesc.
Buna ziua, nu stiu unde ati citit ca ar putea avea aceasta actiune. Va rugam sa ne indicati si noua. Nu este nicio problema sa pulverizati in gat si in nat, fiti fara de grija. Noi, in miile de studii si cercetari pe care le-am verificat, nu am gasit nicaieri ca nanoparticulele de argint ar putea da asa ceva. Va recomandam sa mancati cat mai pur, fara “E”-uri, daca doriti sa va protejati sarcina, sa nu consumati nici zahar (este o toxina), nici mancare procesata, nici bauturi alcoolice, nici prajeli, nici alimente cu grasimi trans, nici paine alba (preferat sa fie inlocuita painea neagra umeda de secara), sau alte produse cu faina alba, nici lactate de oaie si vaca, doar capra. Evident, de evitat mediile unde se fumeaza, noptile pierdute (odihna obligatorie 8 ore incepand cu ora 22), faceti exercitii fizice de elongatie a tendoanelor (trupul va secreta celule stem care vor forma colagen, aveti nevoie pentru “elasticizarea” uterului si revenirea post sarcina), consumati turmeric si alge marine. Si cautati o clinica ce lasa bebelul in contact cu placenta si dupa sarcina (chiar si 30min). Placenta este a sa. Are nevoie de ea. Asa va creste sanatos si imun. Daca cine va va asista nu stie despre aceasta atunci sunt “pe pilot automat” si putin le pasa de sanatatea bebelului. Ii dorim viata lunga, fericita si sanatate de diamant!
Buna ziua. Este indicata administrarea de Argint coloidal ionic in sarcina? Daca da, ce produs recomandați ?
Mulțumesc!
Buna ziua, nu sunt contraindicatii in caz de sarcina. Recomandam totusi folosirea doar jumatate din doza recomandata.
