Hey my friend,

I am a bit leary of Silver Wings. They come in third in surface area behind Purest Colloids Mesosilver and Utopia Silver's Advanced Colloidal Silver and the only reason they are close to Utopia Silver is that they use 250 PPM instead of the 20 PPM of both Purest Colloids and Utopia Silver and most true authorities on colloidal silver consider anything above 20 PPM to be overkill. I think you are referring to an older chart. Here is one that is more up to date, as Utopia Silver has improved their already superior manufacruring process (and continues to do so).You can find the newer comparison chart here:

Note also the difference in the effriciency index. Now, Purest Colloids Mesosilver is an outstanding product, but I will note that many believe that there is a benefit in having at least a certain amount of ionic content along with the colloidal silver. I like Utopia Silver's appx. 85% colloidal silver and 15% ionic silver. Of course I might be a bit prejudiced, since the owner of the company is a lifelong friend of mine (dating back to the second grade). Seriously though, a panel of noted colloidal silver experts came to the conclusion that there was benefit in having some ionic content which plated to the colloidal silver that entered the blood stream more quickly and provided a surface for the ionic silver to plate onto.

On the Silver Wings website, where they tout being approved by the FDA, their particle size is larger than the ultra small particles in the Mesosilver and Utopia Silver products - that is why it takes 250 PPM to cover about 2/3 the surface area that Utopia Silver 20 PPM does.

And one other thing on the Silver Wings website gave me considerable pause. Their description of ionic silver is more than a little bit inaccurate. To wit:

Ionic colloidal silver is electrically processed, and typically contains salt. In order to manufacture this type of silver, you would place two silver anodes (poles) in water with salt, and electrically pull silver off of the poles. Due to it being inexpensive to manufacture, it is the most common type of silver on the market. This type of colloidal silver will always be clear in color, but not necessarily solution. It is missing an electron rendering it unstable. Over time, most of these ionic colloidal silvers will have many particles clumping together with larger than colloid sized particles. When testing some of the leading ionic colloidal silver manufacturers at qualified independent testing laboratories, their solutions ranged between 900-1746 Nanometers in size. Ionic colloidal is typically marketed between 3-30 PPM. If it were a higher parts per million, then the particles would clump together more quickly.

Salt? Who uses that other than the infamous (and now deceased) blue man Papa Smurff Paul Karason? Now, you know that is bogus information! 900 - 1746 nanometer particles for leading manufacturers? That sounds awfully high to me. Yeah, they are considerably larger, but not THAT large.

Anyway, let the buyer beware! Or better still, let the buyer be educated.
