Whether you use a
commercial brand of colloidal silver, or make your own colloidal silver, how
long it remains potent during storage depends a lot upon how you store it.
Incorrect storage of
colloidal silver can result in the silver particles falling out of suspension
and coating the bottom of your storage container like a fine gray silt.
Here’s some quick tips
on proper storage of your colloidal silver, so you can enjoy maximum potency no
matter how long it’s stored…
Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…
In a previous article, I explained how to check your
colloidal silver batches to make sure the silver is still potent. You can read that short article, here.
But how do you maximize the longevity and prolong the potency of your colloidal silver batches while they’re in storage?
But how do you maximize the longevity and prolong the potency of your colloidal silver batches while they’re in storage?
There are three basic factors you need to be aware of:
Factor #1: Bright
Light
First and foremost, colloidal silver needs to be stored out
of bright light.
That’s because prolonged exposure to bright light causes silver
particles to oxidize, then lose their electrical charge and fall out of
suspension, dropping to the bottom of your storage container.
As the silver particles begin to fall out of suspension, they’ll
coat the bottom of your storage container with a fine gray silt-like coating.
If you see that gray, silt-like coating covering the entire bottom
of your colloidal silver storage container, you know that particular batch of
colloidal silver is fast losing potency.
That’s because, as more and more silver particles begin to oxidize
and drop to the bottom of the container, fewer and fewer electrically-charged silver
particles will be left suspended in the water.
So when you use the batch, not nearly as many silver particles will be available
to kill bacteria, stimulate healing and boost immunity.
That’s why most people store their colloidal silver in a dark glass storage container. Most people either use dark amber glass storage bottles with plastic lids (like the one shown in the image at the top of the page), or the colored decorative Ball canning jars like the one shown on this web page.

Here’s the good news:
If your colloidal silver is stored in a dark glass container, it can safely
be stored on a kitchen counter top instead of in a dark cabinet, because the
dark color on the glass bottle filters out the spectrum of light that causes
silver particles to oxidize.
Cobalt blue glass storage bottles can also be used, such as the one to the left.
Cobalt blue glass storage bottles can also be used, such as the one to the left.
A lot of people also use old dark-colored wine bottles,
Bailey’s Irish Cream bottles, or other dark glass bottles to store their
colloidal silver.
Some people even use inexpensive glass bottles like these,
which can be found at Walmart.
You can even wrap duct tape around a clear glass storage
container to keep the light out, and store your colloidal silver in that.
If all you have available is a clear glass storage
container, one of the simplest solutions is to take a dark sock and pull it up
over the container to keep the light out (see a quick “how to” example, here).
The bottom line is that prolonged or frequent exposure to
bright light can begin to oxidize your silver particles and cause them to fall
out of suspension. So to extend the
potency of your colloidal silver in storage you should always do your best to
keep it protected from exposure to bright light.
A little bit of exposure to light, such as when you’re pouring some colloidal silver out of the storage container to drink or to apply topically is not going to cause a problem. Again, it’s prolonged or frequent exposure to bright light that causes the oxidation issue.

Factor #2: Temperature Control
Colloidal silver should be stored at room temperature (i.e.,
between 68-85 degrees), rather than, say, in a garage where temperatures can
fluctuate dramatically between daytime and nighttime.
Over the course of time, fluctuating temperatures can cause silver particles to fall out of suspension prematurely, resulting in lost potency. Keeping your colloidal silver stored in a temperature-controlled climate (such as in a dark cabinet, inside your house) can extend its potency dramatically. Properly stored colloidal silver can remain potent or years.

Properly stored colloidal silver can remain potent or years.
As an aside, never
store colloidal silver in the refrigerator.
That’s because the silver particles are in a state of Brownian Motion,
which simply means they repel each other in the water. This Brownian Motion helps keep your silver
particles from clumping together (i.e., agglomeration) and becoming too heavy
to remain in suspension.
Indeed, if you could see the billions of submicroscopic silver particles suspended in the water, it would have the appearance of an elaborate (but erratic) dance, with silver particles appearing to collide or near-collide with each other, and then being repelled away from each other, over and over and over again, many times per second.

That’s because the positive electrical charge on each silver
particle causes the particles to repel from each other, just as trying to touch
the positive ends of two magnets causes them to repel from each other. So the silver particles in your batch of
colloidal silver are constantly moving, quite literally every second.
Visually, think of an elaborate ballet with a dozen ballet dancers
on stage all weaving in and out between each other in synergism, and you’ll
pretty much get the picture.
But cold temperatures such as those from a refrigerator will cause that Brownian Motion “dance” to slow down dramatically, which in turn will allow silver particles to begin falling out of suspension.

The bottom line is to keep your colloidal silver batches
stored at room temperature, and let the “dance” (i.e., Brownian motion of the
suspended silver particles) continue.
Factor #3: Electro-Magnetic Influences
If possible, your colloidal silver should also be stored
three or four feet (or more) away from strong electro-magnetic influences such
as a microwave oven, or even from a set of large stereo speakers with large
magnets in them.
That's because prolonged exposure to strong electro-magnetic
influences can, over time, disrupt the potency of a batch of colloidal
silver.
This is probably the least worrisome of storage
problems. But it’s another factor that
colloidal silver users have found in the past to influence the longevity and
potency of their colloidal silver batches.
Another Important
Factor
Of course, there are a number of other factors that can
influence how long a batch of colloidal silver will remain potent while in
storage.
One of the most important factors is the quality of the
water that was used to make the colloidal silver batch.
Only steam distilled
water should be used when making colloidal silver, because all other
forms of water have loads of mineral content in them. And over time, the mineral content can rob your
silver particles of their electrical charge, causing them to fall out of
suspension.
Even water produced by reverse osmosis still has too much
mineral content in it for making high-quality colloidal silver.
This is important to understand, because if you fail to make
your colloidal silver with steam-distilled water, over time the excess mineral
content in the water will begin to bond with the electrically charged silver
particles and rob them of their electrical charge, causing them to fall out of
suspension.
So if you’re making batches of colloidal silver and you’re keeping them properly stored as I’ve explained above, but you’re still having problems with silver particles falling out of suspension while in storage, then you’re likely having a problem with mineral content in your water, and you need to make sure you’re using a good, high-quality brand of steam-distilled water.
So if you’re making batches of colloidal silver and you’re keeping them properly stored as I’ve explained above, but you’re still having problems with silver particles falling out of suspension while in storage, then you’re likely having a problem with mineral content in your water, and you need to make sure you’re using a good, high-quality brand of steam-distilled water.
The Bottom Line
The bottom line is that colloidal silver will retain full
potency quite literally for years if
it’s made properly, and stored properly.
If not, it will only retain potency for a few months at best before
beginning to fall out of suspension and coat the bottom of the storage bottle.
I have a quart of homemade colloidal silver in my cabinet that’s nearly five years old now, and it’s still just as potent as the day I made it. But that’s because it’s stored in a dark glass bottle…it’s stored indoors at room temperature…it’s stored away from powerful electro-magnetic influences such as a microwave oven…and it was made with very high-quality steam-distilled water.

You can do the same thing, with a brand new Micro-Particle
Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge.
Making high-quality colloidal silver that will retain
potency for years and years in storage is so simple I’m still stunned more
people don’t do so.
In fact, why anyone would continue to pay $20 to $30 for a
tiny 4-ounce bottle of colloidal silver in health food stores (which has
probably lost half its potency before you bought it) when you can easily make a
full quart of long-lasting, full-potency colloidal silver for about 36 cents, is beyond me.
It’s just plain silly to keep paying those exorbitant
mark-ups for health food store colloidal silver when you can make it at actual cost, yourself – just a few cents
per one-quart batch!
