Polysorbate 20 is an emulsifier, like soap or a detergent. It is used to keep things in suspension that would otherwise fall out. It is likely the way they are able to maintain 45 ppm of colloidal silver without stability problems. It might be an indication that the particles of silver are too large to stay in suspension by themselves.

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.....

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
