We are accustomed to thinking about silver as that precious and lustrous metal that is used to make coins and jewellery.
But did you know that silver, such as in BioSilver 22 Gel, has countless other uses and is especially prized in the fields of medicine and healthcare for its germ-killing powers?
A Powerful Germicide
That’s right. Knowledge of silver’s anti-bacterial properties has long been established.
In fact, it is claimed that the ancient Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans kept water, wine and vinegar in silver vessels to ensure freshness. Even the Father of Western Medicine, Hippocrates, is believed to have acknowledged the healing properties of silver as far back as 400 BCE.
It is only fairly recently, however, that scientists have discovered why silver works.
Essentially, silver destroys the cell membranes of bacteria. This not only affects the metabolism and respiration of germs and halts their growth but also prevents these harmful organisms from reproducing.
For example, did you know that wound dressings containing silver are an important aspect of healthcare? These have been used for more than a century, specifically since World War I, to help soldiers on the frontline.
True, many other metals have been and are currently used in biomedicine for their antimicrobial properties. However, unlike, say, mercury and copper, silver is not toxic to humans.
Beyond Healthcare
And it doesn’t end there. Silver’s applications extend to many other areas.
It can be ground into powder, flattened into printable sheets or converted into paste, flakes, salt or alloyed with other metals. This has made silver super versatile and explains its use in various sectors, from photography to engineering and power generation.
But it is nanotechnology that has really allowed for a whole host of modern uses.
In essence, nanotechnology involves the manipulating of atoms and molecules at a microscopic scale to produce new materials with very different properties from their larger-sized counterparts. In the case of silver, this groundbreaking tech has radically changed the way precious metal is used and facilitated its widespread employment in everyday devices such as washing machines, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, and air-conditioners.
It is even used in cutting-edge wellness solutions such as water purifiers — like QNET’s HomePure Nova — and skincare products like BioSilver 22 Gel, also from QNET.
Protecting Your Skin and Home
Developed with SilverSol technology, a patented approach for suspending superfine silver particles in an easily applied gel, BioSilver 22 Gel is focused on caring for your skin and simultaneously keeping your home safe and germ-free.
The gel’s silver oxide coating has antibacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties and a resonance of 890-910 terahertz i.e., the same frequency used in ultraviolet light to kill germs and bacteria. Hence, it can be used to cleanse and purify skin, as well as sanitise high-touch surfaces in the home like doorknobs, towel rails, toilet bowls, washbasins and kitchen countertops.
Simply dab a little on a sponge or cleansing pad and get to wiping.
As for BioSilver 22 Gel’s numerous skincare applications, meanwhile, customers report a wide array of practical uses, from effectively treating lacerations, burns and insect bites to warding off fungal infections. Indeed, it is also proven to be a great alternative to topical antibiotics, especially in cases of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
To top it all off, the gel is alcohol-free, non-dehydrating, guarantees all-day protection, and is totally safe. Thus, it is perfect for use by the entire family.
So, while the realities of modern life can make protecting our health, homes and households challenging, it need not be impossible. And if you’d like a one-stop solution that also promises clean, blemish-free skin on a silver platter, BioSilver 22 Gel is your ticket.
