Why Bio-Active Silver HydrosolTM over any other form of silver?
Over the past 2 decades, the term “colloidal silver” has been dramatically polluted by manufacturers that produce (knowingly or unknowingly) silver products contaminated by the presence of salts, proteins, compounds, stabilizers, and oxidation – all of which serve to degrade and diminish the bio-activity of the silver.

Why is Sovereign Silver packaged in glass and not plastic?
Plastic containers contaminate silver products due to the reaction of silver ions with plastic. Colloids will leach contaminants from plastic due to its porosity. This creates unwanted chemical reactions. Glass ensures the formulation maintains its quality and integrity. This is why we would never bottle our liquid hydrosol in plastic.
Manufacturers make the decision to use plastic instead of glass for the following reasons:
1. It's cheaper than glass.
2. It eliminates breakages.
3. It reduces shipping weights and therefore shipping costs.
What do any of these have to do with improving the quality control? None! Our point exactly!*

Why is Sovereign Silver clear in color while most other silver products are not?
Color (light yellow, yellow, gold, amber, brown, cloudy) is an indication of one or any combination of the following:
1. Refraction of light off large particles.
2. Chemical reagents or stabilizing additives.
3. Oxidation during the time of manufacture.
This is a quick indication of poor quality, and if the manufacturer tries to tell you differently, you are being mis-led.*

What is the difference between a [Colloidal] Silver Hydrosol, Colloidal Silver, Ionic Silver and a Mild Silver Protein?
Silver supplement manufacturers try to distinguish themselves from others by trying to categorize their products so they will have maximum acceptance. The truth is it all comes down to particle size and particle energy. Regardless of what these different manufacturers claim, we find out the truth about their quality under the Electron Microscope. We are the only company on the market offering proof of what we claim.

Can I give Sovereign Silver™ to my baby?
According to the medical literature, there is no known risk for an 11 lb baby to ingest up to 70 micrograms (mcg) of pure silver daily, for up to 70 years!1, 2 That’s seven (7) droppers (or 40 fine mist sprays) of Sovereign Silver™ daily.*

Can I use Sovereign Silver™ as eye drops or for sores on my skin?
Prior to 1999, colloidal silver products were allowed to be sold and labeled ‘over-the-counter’ for many common health concerns, both external and internal. Today, it is marketed and labeled to be used exclusively for ingestion as a dietary supplement.*. We recommend the First Aid Gel for sores on your skin.

Do other silver products pose risks that Sovereign Silver™ does not?
They can. Knowing what the safe and critical amounts are for silver ingestion is important. You want to buy a:
As for homemade products, it is our view that it is unfeasible to produce safe, high bio-active silver formulations without the sophisticated laboratory resources available to us. *

Are other silver products with higher concentrations more powerful?
No. It’s not so much about concentration as it is about particle size and particle charge. The smaller the silver particle, the more powerful its energy. Also, the higher the percentage of charged silver particles, the more positive the biological action becomes. Actually Sovereign Silver™ at 10 ppm outperforms other brands up to 500 ppm or more. This is because such products with higher concentrations of silver are comprised of very high particle size ranges containing little, if any, charged silver particles.*

Can pets safely be treated with this product?
Please note that even though we manufacture the highest quality silver dietary supplement, which is safe and non-irritating, Sovereign Silver is only sold under the Dietary and Supplement Health Education Act (DSHEA). Therefore, we unfortunately cannot offer you any advice on this subject since its exclusive target market is for humans.

Does Sovereign Silver destroy the friendly and beneficial probiotics (i.e., acidophilus) in my intestines when I ingest it?
To some small degree Sovereign Silver's active ingredient may inhibit probiotics. But your nearly 30 feet of intestinal tract is consistently making more friendly probiotics. You can also enhance your internal production of probiotics by ingesting a high quality source with meals.2 Therefore, a marvelous strategy is to take both but in a specific daily schedule by: (a) ingesting Sovereign Silver at bedtime or on an empty stomach away from meals, while taking; (b) a dose of high quality probiotics from your health food store at meal times. In this way, you get the best of both in terms of benefits and performance, without creating any conflicts.*

I understand now about the concentration and particle size aspects of Sovereign Silver, but what about the Mild Silver Protein products?
Sovereign Silver is nearly pure oligodynamic Ag+. Mild Silver Protein is a formulation that stabilizes silver by binding it to protein. Silver is inactive when bound to a protein. The real performance only comes from when the silver splits off from the protein, a process riddled with bottlenecks. Therefore, much more Mild Silver Protein is required to provide the same benefits as lower amounts of pure oligodynamic Ag+. Again, with Sovereign Silver you now understand that less means more!*
