Also, colloids produced by the chemical method will not have the positive charge on each particle necessary for effective killing of germs. Our product is produced at 5 parts per million, under .015 micron, and with a strong charge due to the use of up to a potential 10,000 volts. The bottom line is that you would likely find an ounce of 5 parts per million Silver Lightning to be more effective than the same amount of 500 parts per million of chemically produced colloid. As a plus, Silver Lightning is pure , without a trace of stabilizers, thickeners, coloring, or toxic silver compounds. We do not use the DC process that many home units use.
Serious drawbacks exist with home units.
In addition, the home units tend to produce silver oxide, another silver compound that is toxic. The toxic silver oxide can make the colloid taste bitter. Another unfortunate feature of home units are particles which are larger than the optimal size. For long term use, we feel that purchasing Silver Lightning will have the most benefits for your health. Silver Lightning is very stable on the shelf, and you can conveniently purchase in large quantity.
