Silver protein, also know as mild silver protein is often hawked by
companies because they do not want to take the time and effort to make
high quality EIS, which is stable, reliable, and does not cause
argyria.  What they are doing is making a suspension of silver by
putting it with a protein, basically a geletan or agar, to keep it in
suspension.  However since the protein ties the silver up, it loses 95%
of so of it's effectiveness, so instead of 5 to 20 ppm of silver being
highly effective, they have to jack the silver load up to 200 to 500
parts per million.  And even then, the silver often lacks effectiveness
to even keep the protein in the product from becoming loaded with
bacteria.  And it has been implicated in a number of cases of argyria
due to the high silver content, and lack of colloid.

I would not touch the stuff.
