Description
MesoSilver: High-Purity Nanoparticle Colloidal Silver
MesoSilver is produced using 0.9999 pure elemental silver in nanoparticle form suspended in high‑purity deionized water. It is an authentic nanoparticle colloidal silver product, meaning the formulation consists primarily of metallic silver particles rather than dissolved silver ions. Learn more. This distinction is critical when comparing colloidal silver products, as true colloids differ significantly from ionic silver solutions in structure, stability, and measurable physical properties.
MesoSilver is manufactured exclusively by Purest Colloids, Inc. using a controlled physical process developed through extensive research at the Colloidal Science Laboratory, Inc. (CSL). The formulation contains no chemical salts, no stabilizing proteins, and no additives, only water and silver.
What Sets MesoSilver Apart Among Colloidal Silver Products
True Nanoparticle Composition
MesoSilver is classified as a true colloidal silver product. Most of the silver present exists as metallic nanoparticles rather than silver ions. Typical testing shows that approximately 80% of the silver content consists of particles, whereas many other nanoparticle silver products contain closer to 10% particulate silver.
This high particle percentage is one of the defining characteristics that differentiates MesoSilver within the broader category of colloidal silver products.
Particle Size and Surface Area
MesoSilver is engineered with sub‑nanometer silver particles. Independent particle size analysis indicates a typical particle diameter of approximately 0.65 nm or smaller. At this scale, particle size consistency and dispersion contribute to a very high total particle surface area.
The combination of extremely small particle size and high particle concentration produces one of the highest measured particle surface areas among nanoparticle silver products. Surface area is a key physical parameter discussed in material science literature when evaluating nanoparticle behavior.
Detailed comparisons are available in the Comparison Table and the educational resource Nanoparticle Silver Effectiveness, which explain how particle size and concentration influence colloidal characteristics.
Composition Transparency and Specifications
MesoSilver contains only:
- Ultrapure reagent‑grade deionized water
- Elemental Silver (Ag), 0.9999 purity
Additional verified specifications:
- Minimum total silver concentration: 20 ppm
- Silver form: Metallic nanoparticles (true colloidal silver)
- Additives: None
- Proteins: None
- Preservatives or stabilizers: None
Silver concentration is measured in parts per million (ppm), a standard analytical unit used to compare colloidal silver products. Batch testing is conducted to confirm concentration and particle characteristics using established laboratory instrumentation.
Manufacturing, Quality, and Facility Standards
MesoSilver is manufactured in an FDA‑registered facility using sterile, high‑purity inputs. Production protocols are designed to ensure batch‑to‑batch consistency and reproducibility. Additional handling and safety documentation is available in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Quality control measures include:
- Independent ppm verification
- Particle size and dispersion analysis
- Purity and conductivity testing
This process‑driven approach aligns with accepted practices in colloid chemistry and nanomaterial manufacturing.
Appearance, Taste, and Storage
Color
MesoSilver is a clear amber‑colored liquid, often compared visually to dark iced tea. This coloration results from the very high concentration of silver nanoparticles and does not indicate contamination or large particle size.
Particle size is confirmed using a High‑Performance Particle Sizer (HPPS) manufactured by Malvern Instruments, Ltd., capable of measuring nanoparticles down to 0.6 nm in diameter.
After opening, exposure to atmospheric conditions may cause the color to shift toward gray. This change is common in urban environments and does not indicate degradation or loss of colloidal integrity.
Taste
Most users report that MesoSilver tastes like water. A mild metallic taste may be noticeable to some individuals and is typical of high‑purity metallic silver suspensions. For additional details, see the FAQ page.
Storage and Shelf Life
Does not require refrigeration after opening
Stable at room temperature
Indefinite shelf life when stored properly
Responsible Use and Allergy Notice
Individuals with a known silver allergy should not use nanoparticle silver products. Silver allergy, while uncommon, typically presents as contact sensitivity to metallic silver (for example, silver jewelry).
Those unsure of sensitivity may perform a small skin contact test by applying a few drops to the back of the hand and observing for a reaction over 30 minutes.
Scientific Background and Research
MesoSilver is the result of thousands of hours of research and development conducted at CSL. The formulation was designed to maximize particle surface area while maintaining stability and reproducibility.
Scientific literature referenced by institutions such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) discusses silver nanoparticles in the context of material science, including particle behavior, dispersion, and colloidal stability. These references are provided for educational purposes only.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is colloidal silver?
Colloidal silver is a suspension of microscopic metallic silver particles dispersed in purified water. True colloidal silver differs from ionic silver solutions, which contain primarily dissolved silver ions rather than particles.
How is MesoSilver different from ionic silver?
MesoSilver is a true colloidal silver product composed primarily of metallic nanoparticles. Ionic silver products are typically made from silver salts and do not contain a high percentage of particulate silver.
What does ppm mean in colloidal silver products?
Parts per million (ppm) indicate the concentration of silver present in water. It is a standardized measurement used to compare colloidal silver products and is verified through laboratory testing.
Does MesoSilver contain additives or stabilizers?
No. MesoSilver contains only ultrapure water and elemental silver. No proteins, preservatives, stabilizers, or chemical additives are used.
Is MesoSilver intended to treat or prevent disease?
No. MesoSilver is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. All information provided relates solely to material properties, composition, and manufacturing transparency.
Regulatory Disclaimer
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stated that colloidal silver products promoted for treating or preventing diseases are considered unapproved new drugs and are misbranded. MesoSilver is not marketed for such purposes.
