THE QUANTUM LEAP IN EFFICIENTLY DELIVERING SILVER IONS TO THE BODY

CONTROLLED RELEASE FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE

* Optimized delivery: Opti-Silver? is the patented key that provides the all-important carrying and controlled releasing of silver ions to the body, in our exclusive water-soluble silver citrate complex

* Complex in solution has no particles: Delivers silver ions less than 0.3 nanometer in size, far smaller than colloidal silver particles ? in fact, it consists of molecules dissolved in solution in water (and in the blood) and it has no ;particles' at all

* Economical 100-ppm formula: One bottle contains as much silver as ten bottles of 10-ppm silver, so you pay far less per mcg, and the efficient delivery means you can use far fewer mcg ? you use just 1 drop per 10 pounds of body weight or 1 spray per 30 pounds of body weight

* 100% safe: When used as directed, you actually consume less silver than you may already be consuming with your ordinary daily drinking water ? but delivered as powerful bioactive ions

_____________________________________________

The key to gaining the benefits of silver is the controlled release of silver ions in the body, the only bioactive form of silver. To achieve this, silver ions must first be captured or stabilized, transported into the system, and then released or activated. Otherwise, they will bind up with substances in the mouth, stomach and blood and become useless. * Colloidal silver functions by delivering silver ions. Silver 100? with Opti-Silver? does this in a far more efficient, controlled and consistent manner.

State-of-the-Art Technology

Silver 100 Ionic Silver Complex with Opti-Silver is the state-of-the-art technology for delivering silver ions to the body. It is designed to surpass all other forms of silver in performance, efficiency, purity, consistency and stability. It has gained the reputation for being the leading-edge product in the field by health professionals, retailers and users.

Silver ions are what does the work

Silver only exists in two states in the physical universe: atoms or ions. Silver atoms comprise silver metal and are entirely inert ? they cannot afford the body with the benefit of any bioactive effects whatsoever. Only in the ionic state does silver exhibit its remarkably bioactive effects.

A delivery mechanism is needed

Silver ions require a deliberate delivery system in order to be introduced into the system and gradually released. Otherwise, they will tend to bind up with other substances in the mouth and gut such as chlorides and proteins, rendering them incapable of spreading through the system. This is because silver ions are silver atoms that are missing an electron (giving them a positive charge). As ions, they are attracted to anything in the system that can restore their electron balance, and the body is loaded with substances that will do that. Therefore, a delivery system is essential.

Delivery entails stabilization and then release

All silver products used internally by humans, whether called ionic silver, colloidal silver, or any other name, function by doing one thing and one thing only: carrying stabilized silver ions into the body and then releasing them as active ions once in the system, where they can provide any potential bioactive benefits. Opti-Silver simply does this with far more efficiency than any other product in existence.

Colloidal silver is good but is very limited

While colloidal silver can work remarkably well, it only provides a fraction of the potential that ionic silver offers. The problem with colloidal silver is that only a small portion of the silver is ionic, and only a small portion of that is ever released in the body as bioactive ions because it's in the form of silver oxide and/or silver hydroxide, which is very far too stable to ever dissociate and yield silver ions while passing through the body before being excreted.

Silver 100 with Opti-Silver is far more efficient than all other forms of silver

Silver 100? with Opti-Silver? utilizes an entirely new approach to silver ion delivery in the human body. It is designed to overcome all the limitations of colloidal silver and all other forms of silver. It utilizes a proprietary method of complexing silver ions with a specific form of citrate that acts as the stabilizer and delivery vehicle. Silver 100? is designed to gradually decomplex, and thereby release the silver ions, only after being absorbed well into the system. It is designed to deliver all of its silver as ions.

The result is that you get far better results by using far less.

Superior efficiency means it's more economical.

Equilibrium is the key

All chemists know that equilibrium is the key that determines how much a molecular substance or complex will remain stable and fail to interact with the environment and how readily it will dissociate and indeed interact with the environment. Opti-Silver? actually entails what can be called a "hybrid" between covalent and ionic bonding, remaining intact when needed and then dissociating when needed.

This is all a function of equilibrium. The Opti-Silver? complex was specifically designed for optimal equilibrium for the delivery and release of silver ions in the human body.

The chemistry is very deliberate and very well understood by a chemist.

Only patented Opti-Silver? can keep silver citrate in solution in water in a stabilized complex ? see the left side of the equilibrium equation shown directly above, which represents ?silver citrate complex (with potassium as the counterion)?...

...and slowly release more and more of the silver as free silver ions (Ag+) as they?re used up by the body ? see the right side of the equilibrium equation, which represents ?free silver ion and citrate (with potassium as the counterion).?

While in the bottle, Opti-Silver keeps the vast majority of its silver in a stable, soluble, complexed state (left side of the equilibrium equation) and leaves only a very small portion of its silver available as free silver ion (right side of the equilibrium equation). After absorption into the body, Opti-Silver gradually releases more and more of its silver from the complexed state to the free silver ion state.

(Note: Don't ask the makers of any other silver product used for internal human use ? regardless of whether it's colloidal silver, ionic silver, mild silver protein, silver hydrosol, or by any other name ? about the equilibrium equation of their molecular structures. At best, they'll say something like, "Uh, can we get back to you on that?" We don't like to criticize the competition but this is an important field involving your health, and the fact is that nobody else in the entire field to our knowledge has a fraction of the real chemistry, real information or real performance that we provide to you.)

Far superior manufacturing process

Most other forms of silver, whether called colloidal silver, silver hydrosol, mild silver protein, and so on, are made through a process called electrolysis, which consists of putting two metal rods in water with the ends sticking out, clipping wires to them and running electricity across them, and allowing the silver rod to deteriorate into the water. The process was created more than a hundred years ago, before we had an understanding of modern chemistry or even of how colloidal silver works.

Opti-Silver? is made by utilizing a complete understanding of modern chemistry. The ingredients are all reagent grade chemical powders, of which the exact molecular make-ups are fully understood. The manufacturing process entails a very deliberate process.

Silver 100? is made through an entirely different process than is colloidal silver, using no electrolysis. It is extremely consistent from drop to drop, has virtually no impurities whatsoever, and has years of shelf life under normal conditions.

We start with citric acid and tri-potassium citrate. We mix them in ultra-pure in such a way that we remove one citrate from the tri-potassium citrate and combine it with the citric acid to create dibasic citrate with potassium. We then mix in silver oxide (Ag2O) and remove the silver ion from it, which we marry to the dibasic citrate. This results in the Opti-Silver? formulation that consists of silver citrate (predominantly dibasic citrate with a little monobasic citrate silver and a little tribasic citrate silver) with potassium as the counter-ion.

SUGGESTED USE

Dropper - For regular daily use, adults and children use up to 1 drop per 10 lbs of body weight per day. For short-term needs, adults and children may use up to 1 drop per 10 lbs of body weight a few times per day. Best if used undiluted. May also be mixed in water (or juice).

Spray - For regular daily use, adults and children use up to 1 spray per 30 lbs of body weight per day. For short-term needs, adults and children may use up to 1 spray per 30 lbs of body weight a few times per day. May also be mixed in water (or juice).

(Note: 3 drops are equal to approximately 1 spray.)

___________________________________________________________

Using it every day - Using Silver 100 on an ongoing daily basis is the very best way to take maximum advantage of what it has to offer.

Short-term use - For short-term considerations, you may want to use the maximum recommended daily amount a few times throughout the day for a few days or up to a few weeks. The recommended daily amount on the label is the guideline you should follow for ongoing daily use. If you use more than that for more than a short period of time, you may want to refer to the guidelines for the safe use of silver at www.silversafety.org.

Mixing in water or juice - It's usually best to take Silver 100 undiluted, straight from the bottle. Holding it in the mouth a moment before swallowing may facilitate absorption into the blood. You can also mix it in some pure water ('distilled' or 'reverse osmosis filtered' is best), or juice (though pure water is better). To help deliver it to the gastrointestinal tract for a specific reason, mix it in about 4-8 ounces of pure water (or juice) and drink it right away to help get it into the gastrointestinal tract (for this purpose, it's best to take it on an empty stomach). Avoid storing a mix in water or juice for future use since that could decrease the efficiency of the delivery; mix only what you're going to use right away.

Helping the body detoxify - Using Silver 100 may result in increasing the body?s need to eliminate dead germs. If this becomes uncomfortable, reduce the amount and gradually increase it over a few days or longer. Drinking plenty of water, and eating lightly, will facilitate the detoxification process. If a chronic or severe condition exists, or if you have a compromised elimination system, chronic respiratory congestion or especially asthma, detoxification might become more of an issue, in which case you should start with as little as 1-2 drops, or 1 spray, of Silver 100 per day and gradually increase it at a comfortable rate according to your body?s reactions.

Taking a "beneficial bacteria" supplement - A thriving colonization of beneficial bacteria in the intestines is recommended for good health. Beneficial bacteria used to be abundantly supplied in our plants, along with silver. Both have been depleted in our modern diets. Although Silver 100 is probably 'used up' before reaching the intestines (unless taken in a glass of water or juice), it is perhaps advisable to take a beneficial bacteria supplement when using it. See "What about beneficial bacteria?" in the Education & FAQ section of this site

Silver 100 is entirely safe

Silver 100 is absolutely, 100% safe when used as recommended on the label.

There has never been a single report of skin discoloration from using Silver 100!

The maximum recommended daily usage amount for Silver 100 contains less silver than may be contained in one or two liters of ordinary drinker water that fully meets EPA safety guidelines. It's less than 25% of the amount of silver that the EPA considers to be perfectly safe for ongoing daily intake.

When using Silver 100 in accordance with the directions it's as safe as eating and drinking food and water. Silver is well known to be nontoxic to the body when extremes are avoided. The Environmental Protection Agency considers responsible levels of silver in our drinking water to be entirely, 100% safe with no adverse effects to the body whatsoever.

Silver is in our water and food

Silver is a natural mineral that's present in most of our food and even more so in our drinking water ? especially in our drinking water (unless of course it's purified water from which the minerals have been removed).

Over 80% of the silver that was in our diets has been lost in the recent decades. The maximum recommended daily amount of Silver 100 is barely more than the amount of silver that was in the average American daily diet until as recently as about 85 years ago, before the severe depletion of minerals in our food and water that occurred due to the demineralization of our soil and modern agricultural practices.

Extreme excess can be harmful

The main concern from excess silver consumption is a harmless but irreversible skin discoloration called argyria. This condition is essentially impossible from using Silver 100 according to label directions. It would take far, far more silver for argyria to be possible. The few cases of argyria that exist are the result of extremely irresponsible practices.

Silver Safety Pyramid

As stated above, as a user of Silver 100 you don't need to refer to any of the following information. Just follow the label directions and it will be entirely safe to use every day of your life or for short-term needs as desired.

The creator of Silver 100, Jay Newman, takes safety very seriously, and always has. He is the founder and chairman of the Silver Safety Committee, whose website is www.silversafety.org. The Committee has developed the Silver Safety Guideline, which is based on the Silver Safety Calculation, which was also devised by Jay Newman.

The label dosing for Silver 100 already adheres to the Silver Safety Guideline and the Silver Safety Calculation. The label dosing for Silver 100 is based on pounds of body weight for maximum safety and efficiency.

The purpose of these safety guidelines is primarily for the users of other products whose label dosing may not provide maximum safety or reliably accurate guidelines for the user.

The safety guidelines are made easy to utilize in the Silver Safety Pyramid, which is the most useful and reliable guideline for safe usage of any silver supplement product.

To make things even easier, there is also an Auto-Calculator that does the calculations.

The Silver Safety Pyramid and Auto-Calculator are applicable for the users of all silver products that are orally ingested. Feel free to check out the information if you want to learn more, and by all means share it with anyone you know who uses any other silver products.

The form of silver does not determine safety

The fact that the silver in Silver 100 is complexed with citrate has no bearing at all on whether it can contribute towards argyria.

Note: Some irresponsible companies have been known to make false claims about the safety of various types of silver products. Claims that some forms of silver products such as "colloidal" silver cannot lead to argyria, or that ionic silver products or silver "salts" are more likely to cause argyria, are entirely without merit. Please visit the Education & FAQ page at www.silversafety.org for the real facts.

Silver 100 Safety Report

Back in 1999, we created The Silver 100 Safety Report, which contains details on safe levels of silver including details on the government's guidelines for safe concentrations of silver in drinking water and safe levels of total daily consumption of silver.

The Silver 100 Safety Report represents what is undoubtedly the most extensive effort that has ever been made to date in the field of silver-containing dietary supplements to establish and demonstrate absolute safety in using the product. It was originally prepared in 1999 by Invision International for in-house purposes only. The Silver 100 Safety Report was prepared as an in-house document in order to unequivocally ensure safe usage of Silver 100?. Because questions regarding the safety of certain silver products have been raised lately, we are making the Silver 100 Safety Report public. It was always available to anyone who asked for safety details but we never felt the need to disseminate it widely until recently.

Please note that after the Silver 100 Safety Report was produced, the government has done some shuffling of its entities. Therefore, some government department names and the titles of some government regulations and reports have changed. However, none of the key figures regarding safety regulations and guidelines have changed to our knowledge, just titles.
