Small particle size is important in silver because the mechanism by which silver kills microorganisms is related to particle surface area, the smaller the particles the larger the total surface area from a quantity of silver will be thousands of times more effective than any other product. No other brand has the ability to produce particles this small.

The latest scientific studies show that it is silver ions that kill microorganisms, it does this because of its electrical properties which interfere with the cellular manufacture of enzymes required for their assimilation of oxygen.

If this is true then why is ionic silver less effective than colloid silver?
The reason is that although silver ions are the best at killing bacteria, viruses, and some fungal infections, they virtually never reach the target organisms. This is because they combine rapidly with other free ions and become an ineffective compound such as silver chloride. The reason why true colloids are so much more effective is that they do not combine with anything, they pass through cell walls and enter the bloodstream. Once circulating in the bloodstream they release silver ions in proximity to the undesirable microorganisms, and when these come in contact with silver ions they die, mostly within 6 minutes.
