This article shows the theoretical soluability of silver hydroxide at
a pH of 9 as 100mg/l which would be 100ppm.  See page 8:

That is why he calls it "theoretical". His theory is incomplete. He ignores the fact that silver hydroxide continually converts to silver oxide, and silver oxide converts back to silver hydroxide, so there are approximately equal parts of each. Silver oxide has a solubility of 13 ppm in cold water "CRC Handbook of chemistry and physics 52nd edition". Thus if you have more than 13 ppm of silver hydroxide, it will attempt to produce over 13 ppm of silver oxide, the excess of which precipittes out. The result is that long term solubility is a practical 13 ppm of both silver hydroxide and silver oxide.

silver hydroxide/oxide solution of silver has a maximum concentration of
approximately 26 ppm.  It is, BTW, the ionic portion of EIS.

 Hello All,
I am curently looking at "ionic silver products" for medicinal purposes. I
have found a brand which is 100ppm Ionic Silver by Metabolics. Their website
says that:

10 drops contain:
Silver
(as Silver Hydroxide).............;9mcg;+;+

http://www.metabolics.com/store/natural+healthcare/product/ionsi0100t/

I have never seen ionic silver described as silver hydroxide before; is
this true soluble ionic silver or actually a silver particle colloid ?
 I have looked up silver hydroxide on the net but I'm not a chemist and I
can't figure out what exactly silver hydroxide is. Can anyone shed sny light
on this? Many thanks.
 Kind Regards
Rachel
