You've heard it before, Super Tyndall Effect colloidal silver is a true colloid of silver. True colloidal silver has certain visual characteristics that make it so unique, it is almost impossible to fake them. So, can your colloidal silver pass the Tyndall effect test and the color test?

Almost all colloidal silver products sold at stores and the internet are colorless. It is safe to say that all those products are misleading, as the FDA says in their report (click here to read it), and most likely are not colloidal, but something else. They are most likely a molecular dispersion of silver.

“But I have used it when I was sick, and it worked for me”

Of course it worked for you. We have never said that such products do not work. It is the issue of safety which has caused the most concern when it comes to colloidal silver. You see, it never was a question of whether silver was germicidal enough or not. Most molecular dispersions of silver have a side effect, they can be too germicidal, i.e., toxic to you. Most microheterogeneous dispersions also have a side effect, may cause discoloration. You see, it was really a question of how COLLOIDAL the colloidal silver really was.

Now, lets listen to the following video as it explains how nanomaterials behave differently based on their size and surface area.

A simple test to determine if you have a true colloidal silver and not a counterfeit one (Click here to see how many colloidal silver manufacturing methods there are), is to use the Tyndall effect test. You might want to read more about the Tyndall effect to brush up on your knowledge of it, click here.

The Tyndall effect lets us determine if those products are colloidal or not. It also lets us determine how colloidal. However, the Tyndall test is not enough to determine if you have the best colloidal silver. Each metal colloid, e.g. iron, gold, zinc, show the tyndall effect, even if they only have a small concentration of colloidal nanoparticles.

Besides the Tyndall test, these metallic colloids glow a certain color as the light passes through them. This refraction and reflection of light allow us to see different colors. This is the second test, and it helps us weed out the less desireable counterfeit colloids. Silver glows yellow when the silver concentration is low (10-15 ppm), and orange to red when the silver concentration is high (above 500 ppm).

So, can your colloidal silver pass the Tyndall effect and color test? Watch the next video to see the Tyndall effect in action, the best thing about the Tyndall test is you don't even need a laser to do it, a simple flashlight will do, and no other type of fancy or expensive equipment. Make sure you turn on the english subtittles as the video is in Spanish.
