27 Sep The Silver Lining of Colloidal Silver
The long history of health support attributed to silver, and in particular the more recent use of colloidal silver, reveal the many helpful applications this common natural mineral can have in our lives. Where to begin? How about more than 2,400 years ago!
History of silver
Silver has a very long and impressive history. It’s been said that the Persian kings, around the year 500 B.C. would only drink water that was carried in silver containers because they claimed it helped purify and kept the water fresh. It’s also said that their neighbors- ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and Phoenicians also used silver in various forms to help preserve food and water. Silver was used globally throughout the next many generations and later, in the 1800’s, Wild West pioneers placed silver coins in their casks helping to contribute to preserving their water.
The common saying about being “born with a silver spoon in your mouth” refers to wealthy children using silver utensils beginning in the Middle Ages which is said to help promote healthy lifestyles. Silver was also commonly used for topical skin during the 1800’s through the early turn of the 20th Century.
Today, various forms of silver are increasingly being widely used because of its ongoing health support attributes. NASA and the International Space Station use silver as a contributing part of its water purification system. Throughout generations silver continues to gain in popularity in many countries around the world.
What is colloidal silver?
Of the several forms of silver available for common use (e.g., silver sulfadiazine, silver nitrate), liquid colloidal silver is the more popular used by the general public today. Colloidal silver consists of ultra-fine silver particles (nanoparticles) suspended in deionized water. A colloid, when talking about colloidal silver, is between 1 to 100 nanometers in size. Natural Path Silver Wings’ mean for particle size is between only 1 to 10 nanometers and is pharmaceutical grade.
The “PPM” (parts per million) that appears on this supplement represents the number of silver particles per serving. The higher the PPM, the greater the concentration and amount of immune system support.

Atomic vs ionic silver
High quality colloidal silver supplements are atomic, which means they contain silver atoms that have all of the electrons intact as nature intended. Their sizes fall within the 0.001 to .1 micron (1-100 nm) range. Natural Path Silver Wings’ silver is a true colloid, with a mean range of only 2 nanometers (0.002 microns). Atomic colloidal silver supplements can maintain their colloidal state indefinitely because they are a complete and stable silver atom not missing any electrons. Because of this stability, they’re safer than ionic solutions even at higher concentrations.
Colloidal silver supplements that have larger particles are not true colloidal silver products. The fact is that these ionic silver products contain silver ions, which are not as effective nor as stable at high concentrations as atomic solutions. The electrical charge to the atom of silver changes the structure of the silver particle, causing it to lose one of its 47 electrons. The altered particle of 46 electrons renders it unstable and over time, ionic solutions may tend to clump together, forming larger silver particles and therefore may not be safe and much less effective. Atomic colloidal silver, on the other hand, does NOT use electricity in manufacturing. The atom of silver stays in-tact, unadulterated with all of its 47 electrons.
True Colloidal Silver should be Amber color
What color is your colloidal silver supplement? Some liquid colloidal silver supplements on the market are clear– like water. However, the best immune support is made from naturally occurring elemental silver, which can range in color from light to dark amber. The higher the PPM, the darker the color of the solution. Natural Path Silver Wings bottles are available in 50, 250, and 500 PPM which are between 5 to 50 times more silver particles than weaker 10 PPM products on the market. For additional immune support, consider also herbal additives like Silver Wings’ 150 PPM strength with olive leaf extracts or echinacea and oregano combinations.
Is colloidal silver safe for me and my family?
Yes. Natural Path Silver Wings supplements are made in and distributed from a UL cGMP certified and FDA registered facility. All critical factors of the products, including silver particle size, pH, stability, and more are verified at qualified independent third-party laboratories. The atomic colloidal silver products are non-GMO, allergen-free, gluten-free, and readily absorbed by the body to provide helpful immune system support.
