Any colloidal silver product available in the market can be effective. Silver particles bind with the single cell organisms and destroy their oxygen transporting enzymes thus limiting their oxygen supply. Later it destroys the cell membrane which stops the microorganism from mutating by which it could develop a resistance to silver. There are two types of colloidal silver products. One contains larger silver particles which need a gelatinous base and contains other ingredients such as nitrates, iodides, proteins for proper suspension. There is also a high ppm concentration of silver particles in these supplements as well. These supplements can be affective but can also cause argyria by deposition of silver under skin.
The right colloidal silver supplement such as advanced colloidal silver sold here at utopia silver contains low ppm concentration of very minute particles of silver suspended in a de-ionized water solution. One serving contains only 100micrograms which is lesser then the EPA specified safe range of 350 micrograms in drinking water each day. This makes advanced colloidal silver safe and the small particles provide excellent effectiveness because of very high surface area. These small particles can reach the deepest cells and attack and destroy any single cell micro organisms. These are the products that should be taken and all supplements that contain gelatinous base, silver proteins, nitrates, iodine should be avoided.
