The silver electrode is oxidised into silver ions which then enter the solution. Depending on the method of manufacture some metallic silver, that is unoxidised, uncharged silver particles, are included in the colloid. In order to enter the blood via the digestive tract the silver must be in the ionic form, in order to become attached to the protein or amino acid transporters so that they may pass the through the channels in the cells.

I think you will find that the equivalent amount of silver as silver nitrate will be just as effective as the best CS, if not more, as the nitrate ion will denature proteins. Where are the reports that clumps of silver are more powerful as an antiseptic than silver ions? > Marshall Ivan. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
