Adding hydrogen peroxide to CS is something we have been doing for a
long time. It does increase the effectiveness, but not by preoxidizing.
They got the chemistry all wrong. You cannot preoxidize the silver on
the particles and expect it to stay there. It has a solubility of around
13 ppm (26 when you consider it changes back and forth between silver
hydroxide), and will thus immediately dissolve off, making plain old
ionic silver. But H2O2 is not just an oxidizer, it is a redux agent,
and not only converts the particles to silver oxide, but the silver
oxide/hydroxide back to two atom colloidal particles. That is why it
increases effectiveness, it breaks the colloidal particles down to the
smallest possible units. We have known this for years here.

One last point. Stomach acid will convert the silver oxide coating on the silver particles to either metallic silver or silver chloride. So Guardian Silver pre-oxidizing their silver particles provides no benefit over any other colloidal silver when taken internally.

Guardian Silver consists of primarily silver particles. All silver particles
work by releasing silver ions and it is the silver ions that are
anti-microbial. Silver ions are not released from pure silver. In vivo, silver
particles form silver oxide on its surface and it is the silver oxide that
releases silver ions and provide the anti-microbial activity. Guardian Silver
claims to pre-oxidize their silver particles
by adding hydrogen peroxide to their CS when making it. That is the sum total
of the uniqueness of their CS. There may be some benefit to
pre-oxidizing the silver particles vs waiting for it to happen in vivo.
