If you’re new to silver supplements, you may be curious to learn all you can. And if you’ve heard of silver before, you’re probably familiar with colloidal silver - one of the most well-known types. But there is a lot you need to know. Today we are breaking down the difference between colloidal silver and alkaline structured silver. Understanding these differences can greatly impact how effectively these supplements work for you.

Colloidal silver is most definitely the most popular form of silver supplements. The definition of colloidal is “suspended in water.” This means colloidal silver consists of tiny silver particles suspended in purified water. However, silver is naturally very acidic, and when it’s suspended in purified water, it turns the end product acidic as well. This acidity is harsh on your microbiome and disrupts the balance of beneficial bacteria in your gut. 

This is where alkaline structured silver comes in. Instead of being suspended in just purified water, alkaline structured silver is mixed with water that has an alkaline pH. This means that the silver particles are suspended in water that has a higher pH level, making it more gentle on your system. The alkaline environment helps maintain the stability of the silver particles, ensuring that they remain effective without disrupting the balance of good bacteria in your gut. This is a key difference because the pH level of the water plays a significant role in how the silver interacts with your body.

Research shows that harmful bacteria and yeast thrive in acidic conditions, while an alkaline environment can inhibit their growth. Colloidal silver, being naturally acidic, can create an environment in your gut that may encourage the proliferation of these harmful microorganisms. This is a significant drawback because the goal of using silver supplements is to target bad bacteria without disrupting the beneficial ones.

In contrast, alkaline structured silver maintains a higher pH level, which helps create an environment that supports healthy gut flora by discouraging the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast. 

The stability and absorption of silver supplements are also important factors to consider. Colloidal silver is considered unstable, which means the silver particles can settle at the bottom of the bottle. This is why the bottle will say shake before use. But if the particles can settle in the bottle, this means they can also settle in your body.

Alkaline structured silver, however, is specifically designed to avoid these issues. The silver particles are bonded to structured water using a precise energetic frequency that keeps them stable and in suspension. This ensures that the silver remains evenly distributed throughout the solution. This structured bond makes it so the silver will never settle in your body. You flush it through your urine which makes it safe for long term use. 

Overall it is important to understand the way these silver types interact with your body at a cellular level. Colloidal silver can create complications due to its acidic nature. On the other hand, alkaline structured silver is designed to be gentle and compatible with your body's natural processes. Its alkaline pH helps create a supportive environment for nutrient absorption and overall gut health, allowing you to experience the benefits of silver without the adverse effects.

Additionally, the unique bonding of alkaline structured silver means that it can work harmoniously with your body's systems, enhancing its effectiveness while minimizing any risks. 

Just like with everything - not all types of silver supplements are equal. Choosing the right type of silver supplement can make a significant difference in its effectiveness and safety. With this information you are able to make choices for a healthier, more balanced gut and overall well-being. Your health deserves nothing less.

This is why when I was started ONLE I partnered with a manufacture who could help me create the absolute best quality alkaline structured silver supplement. Because I knew if my family was going to take something it needed to be supportive to our microbiome health. We have taken Cleanse in higher doses during times of need like when healing from a gut imbalance, during times of high stress, when healing from surgery and when we had covid. Cleanse is designed for long term use and is one supplement I will never live a day without having in my home.
