Description
MesoGold™ – High‑Purity Nanoparticle Colloidal Gold
MesoGold™ is produced using 0.9999 pure elemental gold rendered into nanoparticle form and suspended in high‑purity deionized water. It is an authentic colloidal gold product, meaning the gold content exists entirely as metallic nanoparticles rather than dissolved gold ions. This distinction is essential when evaluating colloidal gold products, as true colloids differ from ionic gold solutions in structure, stability, and measurable physical properties.
MesoGold™ is manufactured through a proprietary physical process that produces exceptionally small gold particles measuring only several times the diameter of individual gold atoms. These particles remain uniformly suspended in water, forming a stable colloidal system without the use of chemical salts, proteins, stabilizers, or additives.
What Sets MesoGold™ Apart Among Colloidal Gold Products
True Colloidal Gold Nanoparticles
MesoGold™ is a true nanoparticle colloidal gold formulation. All gold content is present as metallic nanoparticles, with no dissolved gold ions present. Many products marketed as nanoparticle colloidal gold are ionic gold solutions, in which gold exists in ionic form rather than as colloidal particles. Ionic gold solutions differ fundamentally in composition and behavior and are not considered true colloids.
MesoGold™ colloidal gold nanoparticles typically measure approximately 3.2 nanometers in diameter. For reference, a single gold atom measures about 0.288 nanometers, meaning MesoGold™ particles are only about eleven times the diameter of an individual gold atom. Particles at this scale can only be visualized using advanced electron microscopy and remain stably suspended in purified water.
Particle Size, Concentration, and Surface Area
MesoGold™ combines very small particle size with a relatively high particle concentration, producing a colloidal gold product with exceptionally high total particle surface area.
Verified technical characteristics include:
- Elemental gold purity: 0.9999
- Typical particle diameter: approximately 2 nm
- Minimum gold concentration: 20 ppm
- Gold form: Metallic nanoparticles (true colloidal gold)
- Ionic gold content: None
In colloid chemistry, particle surface area is a key physical parameter. Smaller particles at higher concentrations result in greater total surface area, which influences how colloidal materials interact with their surrounding environment. Comparative data shows that MesoGold™ exhibits higher particle surface area than many other colloidal gold products produced using conventional electrolysis methods, which often generate significantly larger particles.
Colloidal Gold vs. Ionic Gold
Colloidal gold consists of metallic gold nanoparticles suspended in water. These nanoparticles remain evenly dispersed and do not settle, forming a stable colloidal system.
Ionic gold products, by contrast, consist of gold compounds dissolved in water rather than particulate gold. These formulations are chemically and physically distinct from colloidal gold. For additional educational information, see the Truth About Ionic Gold.
Understanding the difference between colloidal and ionic gold helps consumers make informed comparisons when evaluating colloidal gold products.
Manufacturing Standards and Quality Control
MesoGold™ is manufactured in an FDA‑registered facility using sterile, reagent‑grade deionized water and high‑purity elemental gold. Production protocols emphasize consistency, reproducibility, and analytical verification.
Quality control measures include:
- Independent verification of gold concentration (ppm)
- Particle size and dispersion analysis
- Purity and conductivity testing
Additional handling and safety information is available on the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Appearance, Taste, and Storage
Color
MesoGold™ is a clear ruby‑red liquid with no visible turbidity. The characteristic ruby coloration is a well‑documented optical property of gold nanoparticles and varies slightly with particle concentration. At the minimum concentration of 20 ppm, MesoGold™ exhibits a distinct ruby‑red appearance.
Taste
MesoGold™ is generally described as tasteless, similar to water, which is typical for high‑purity colloidal gold suspensions.
Storage and Shelf Life
- Does not require refrigeration after opening
- Stable at room temperature
- Long‑term colloidal stability when stored properly
Responsible Use and Allergy Notice
Individuals with a known allergy or sensitivity to gold should not use colloidal gold products. Gold allergy, while uncommon, typically presents as contact sensitivity to metallic gold such as jewelry.
Those uncertain of sensitivity may perform a small skin contact test by applying a few drops to the back of the hand and observing for any reaction over approximately 30 minutes.
Scientific Background and Research
MesoGold™ is the result of thousands of hours of research and development conducted at the Colloidal Science Laboratory, Inc. (CSL) over several years. Purest Colloids, Inc. is the exclusive worldwide producer of MesoGold™.
Scientific literature referenced by institutions such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) discusses gold nanoparticles in the context of material science, including particle size effects, surface properties, dispersion behavior, and colloidal stability.

Frequently Asked Questions About MesoGold™
What is MesoGold™?
MesoGold™ is a true colloidal gold product made from 0.9999 pure elemental gold nanoparticles suspended in ultrapure deionized water. All gold content exists as metallic nanoparticles rather than dissolved gold ions.
What makes MesoGold™ different from other colloidal gold products?
MesoGold™ is distinguished by its very small particle size, high particle surface area, and clearly disclosed composition. Unlike many products marketed as colloidal gold, MesoGold™ does not contain ionic gold or gold salts.
What does “true colloidal gold” mean?
True colloidal gold refers to metallic gold particles that are physically suspended in water. These particles remain evenly dispersed and do not dissolve into ions. Ionic gold solutions, by contrast, contain gold in dissolved ionic form and are not true colloids.
What is the particle size of MesoGold™?
MesoGold™ contains gold nanoparticles with a typical diameter of approximately 3.2 nanometers. At this scale, particles can only be measured using advanced laboratory instrumentation such as electron microscopy.
What does ppm mean for colloidal gold products?
Parts per million (ppm) refer to the concentration of gold nanoparticles present in water. MesoGold™ contains a minimum gold concentration of 20 ppm, which is verified through analytical testing.
Does MesoGold™ contain additives, stabilizers, or proteins?
No. MesoGold™ contains only elemental gold nanoparticles and ultrapure deionized water. No preservatives, proteins, stabilizers, or chemical additives are used.
Why is MesoGold™ ruby red in color?
The ruby-red color is a natural optical property of gold nanoparticles and results from the interaction of light with particles at the nanometer scale. Color intensity may vary slightly with particle concentration.
Does MesoGold™ require refrigeration?
No. MesoGold™ is stable at room temperature and does not require refrigeration after opening when stored properly.
Is MesoGold™ intended to treat or prevent disease?
No. MesoGold™ is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. All information provided relates only to material properties, composition, and manufacturing transparency.
