For the production I'll refer you to the forum I've gotten most this information from: https://www.cgcsforum.org/index.php?topic=1139.0

If you have your own generator and want to convert your Ionic Silver into Collodial Silver, add ~20 drops of [1 tablespoon washing soda in 3oz water] mixture (though I would recommend adding this before production start, some generators assume just distilled water is being used.), and ~5 drops of [50/50 glucose source / water].

Optional addition, for internal use:

>To make and use premixed gelatin:

>Start with 8 ounces of 20 ppm colloidal silver.

>Add 1 gram of Knox unflavored gelatin.

>Heat to dissolve the gelatin.

>Allow to cool.

>Refrigerate.

>To use, shake well, then add 1 tablespoon for each 8 ounces of colloidal silver.  The colloidal silver must be hot, above the melting temperature of gelatin.

>Store gelatin mixture in refrigerator.

Bake for ~30mins @ ~175F, or until color change.

Here are the clarifications regarding the states of silver:

Ionic Silver, or Silver Hydrosol, is silver dissolved into water with electrolysis.

It's what you get when you have pure water, pure silver, washing soda and Electricity.

(If washing soda isn't included there are complications with the oxygen produced in the electrolysis process, forming silver oxide.)

It's clear. If there's any color change the ions are starting to clump together, [agglomeration] and it'll turn yellow. Note that this yellow is opaque. The particles of silver are getting bigger thus they start absorbing light.

Now's a good time to let you know, the smaller we can make the particles, the better.

Collodial Silver, is Ionic silver that has been reduced [Ag+ to Ag]. It turns the dissolved-in-water silver into forever-suspended-in-water silver.

Its colour ranges from light yellow to deep red, but it's 'shiny'. The now-floating particles of silver are bending/wobbling the light as it passes through. They haven't increased in size, the reduction process actually makes the particles smaller, hence their new ability to wobble light as it passes through.

This is called 'surface plasmon resonance'.

The benefits of Ionic silver are topical oriented.

The benefits of Collodial silver are internal oriented, especially if encapsulated with gelatin. Gelatin will protect the particles from stomach acids and it'll be dissolved off in your small intestine. It's a delivery optimization.

Here's an interesting fact: Once your solution starts changing color during the reduction process, you've confirmed you're dealing with particles in the nanometer range of size. Sure, there's a bellcurve of sizes in any given solution, yet know well what you're producing on your kitchen counter between the spice rack and your bowl of cereal, is effectively laboratory grade. Effective as in, for the vast majority (95%+) of microbes/infections you'll be using this on/for, there's no discernable difference between "The nanoest of nanoest super hyper quantum silver" and your slightly stained good 'ol Mason jar.

Let that sink in.

Really, take a moment.

Let me know if this elucidates Collodial Silver enough for You to feel confident.
