Typically EIS is 80 to 90% ionic silver and 10 - 20% colloidal silver.

Ionic silver are silver ions (atoms with one or more electrons missing) which 
when made with distilled water are associated with the OH- radical.  It is 
highly reactive, reacting with
table salt for instance to produce silver chloride.

Colloidal silver are clumps of silver atoms 2 to several thousand, which remain 
suspended in the water via thermal agitation, and by virtue of have a charge on 
them, which is commonly
called the zeta potential.
