In South Africa, more people are looking for natural, affordable solutions to stay healthy and resilient. Nano silver has become one of the most trusted options – but many still wonder: what happens when nano silver enters the body, and is it safe? The science is reassuring, and it’s exactly why Quantum.Silver® exists.
Understanding Nano Silver
Nano silver refers to extremely small particles of silver – so small they’re measured in nanometres (a billionth of a metre!). This tiny size gives silver unique abilities that larger, everyday silver doesn’t have.
Because of this, nano silver can interact at the cellular level – the very place where immunity and healing begin.

How Nano Silver Interacts With the Body
One of the most fascinating aspects of nano silver is how its tiny size changes the way it behaves in the body. Unlike ordinary silver, which mostly stays on the surface, nano silver can interact at the cellular level – where it supports healing and immunity.
Here are the key factors that influence this behaviour:
Particle size
Smaller nano silver particles are able to travel further within the body and interact more closely with cells. This is what makes them useful for internal support, such as when taken as a liquid or capsule. Larger particles, on the other hand, tend to remain closer to the surface, which is ideal for topical products like sprays, gels, and creams. Both sizes have their place – it all depends on the intended use.
Surface coatings
Another important factor is how the silver is stabilised. Our active silver complex is quantum dotted to a specific carrier molecule to prevent clumping and to guide how they behave in the body. This quantum dotting technology makes nano silver more predictable, more effective, and much gentler on human cells.
Safety comes down to dose and method
International research – including assessments by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – consistently shows that nano silver is safe when used responsibly. What matters most is the dose and the way it’s delivered. A low, carefully measured dose in a topical gel is very different from uncontrolled, high-level exposure.
That’s why at Quantum.Silver®, we don’t just focus on the silver itself – we focus on the science of particle size, coatings, and application methods to ensure every product is both safe and effective.
Why Method Matters
Different delivery methods make a big difference in how silver supports the body:
Sprays: Quick and easy to apply, our sprays create a fine mist that coat the skin, helping protect against germs and infections while supporting surface-level healing.
Gels: With their soothing texture, gels are ideal for burns, wounds, or irritated skin. They provide a calming layer while promoting recovery.
Creams: Rich and nourishing, creams work deeper on the skin’s surface, easing dryness, reducing irritation, and helping to restore balance.
Nebulising Solution: Delivers silver gently into the respiratory system, supporting lung health and easing breathing when you need it most.
Liquid Solution: Safe for ingestion at low doses, helping silver circulate and support overall wellness and immunity.
Drops: Designed for precise use, drops can be applied to sensitive areas such as the eyes and ears, helping to soothe irritation, reduce discomfort, and support natural healing.
Each form is crafted to be safe, targeted, and effective.

Why Choose Quantum.Silver®?
We don’t just put silver in a bottle – we carefully engineer it for safety and effectiveness:
· Low-dose formulations that work with the body, not against it.
· Stable particle sizing and coatings for consistency.
· Targeted applications for skin, respiratory, gut, and immune health.
With Quantum.Silver®, you’re not just getting silver – you’re getting years of care, science, and trust behind every product.
