Wondering the best way to store Ionic~Colloidal Silver?
Hint: It just takes a little T-L-C.
A perfect batch of Ionic~Colloidal Silver sits, freshly brewed. That’s step one. Don’t let your efforts go to waste by improperly storing your solution. Appropriate storage will prolong both its shelf life and potency. Proper storage is a critical step two. How will we remember? TLC.
(T) Temperature
Store Ionic~Colloidal Silver in an area with a stable room temperature. If you store it in a cupboard, make sure it’s not too close to a heater or air conditioning vent. And remember, no refrigeration! Exposing Ionic~Colloidal Silver to extremes of temperatures may affect its potency.
(L) Light
Avoid exposing Ionic~Colloidal Silver to light. Over time, exposure will degrade it by turning the solution gray or black.
Use colored glass to store – dark green, brown or cobalt blue all work well. Some possibilities are dark glass beverage bottles with screw or spring tops.
TIP: If you only have a clear glass bottle available, try wrapping it in duct tape or foil to keep out the ambient light.
(C) Container
Remember Ionic~Colloidal Silver reacts with other compounds. That’s why we recommend storing in a clean glass container and also why distilled water is recommended.
Do not use plastic or metal containers to make or store Ionic~Colloidal Silver because silver will react with both, affecting its quality and potency.
Ensure the glass container you brew or store your solution in is clean and rinsed well from any detergents. Any residue in containers ... and your batch may not be useable.
Following these handy tips for storing your Ionic~Colloidal Silver properly will prolong its shelf life to ensure you’ll always have some available when you need it.
