Not all silver is equally effective. Old silver products were often brown or yellow. They contained more silver but were far less effective, often requiring 50,000 to 300,000 ppm (parts per million) of silver to kill a harmful pathogen. The new BionicSil™ is colorless, odorless, and exhibits only a faint metallic aftertaste. It can terminate entire colonies of harmful bacteria at concentrations of 5 ppm or less.

Likewise, not all new silver products are the same. One product on the market has been shown to inhibit the growth of E. coli at 1,500 ppm. BionicSil™ has been shown to kill E. coli at a concentration of only 2.5 to 5.0 ppm. That is several hundred times more effective than the colloids or ionic silver preparations.

BionicSil™ is also much more bio-available than other silver technologies on the market. That means more of the silver is readily absorbed and utilized in the body. Researchers at Brigham Young University tested many current silver products. These products were found to have bioavailabilities between 15 and 65 percent. When the new silver was then tested. It was not only more effective against microbes in laboratory tests, its bioavailability exceeded 99 percent.
