Lin, Polysorbate 20 is added to solubilize peppermint oil. 45 ppm is too high of a concentration and may coalesce the silver, thereby reducing efficacy. My understanding from serious researchers is that plain silver remains colloidal up to 9-10 ppm but it remains to be seen what happens to the colloidal when surfactants and other ingredients are added. Do you have the number of the pending patent? Cheers Frank From: Lin Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2011 9:52 AM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: CS>Clinical Augmented Silver Colloid?
Anyone familiar with this product? Or is it a product made by anyone on this list? The label reads "Natural Clinician Clinical Augmented Silver Colloid, Enhanced 45 ppm. It says to drink ¼ oz everyday. Elemental Silver 290 mcg, (No established RDI, 45ppm)..other ingredients: de-Ionized Water, Peppermint oil, Polysorbate 20, Augmented with Xylitol .. Patent Pending A friend purchased it yesterday. I assume the Xylitol and Peppermint oil are added for flavor, but what does Polysorbate 20 add? 45PPM??? Thanks for any info or comments, Lin
