The SilvaPlex Difference: Chelated Silver vs. Chitosan Silver
At SilvaPlex, we understand the importance of providing safe, effective, and natural solutions for animal health. This commitment has led us to develop two groundbreaking technologies: chelated silver and chitosan silver. While both leverage silver's antimicrobial properties, are non-toxic and non-stinging; they are distinct in their composition and applications, setting SilvaPlex apart from traditional silver-based products.
Chelated Silver: The Power of Stability and Efficacy
Chelated silver is at the core of SilvaPlex's original solution, revolutionizing animal wound care with its unparalleled stability and effectiveness. Unlike colloidal or ionic silver, our chelated silver undergoes a unique chelation process with citric acid. This ensures that the silver ions are firmly bound, creating a stable, bioavailable form that is evenly distributed upon application. The result is a potent antimicrobial agent that offers optimal efficacy, making it a safer and more reliable choice for treating wounds.
Colloidal silver can be toxic to marine life, particularly affecting the reproductive and growth processes of aquatic organisms. Its nanoparticles can accumulate in the environment, leading to bioaccumulation in marine food webs and potentially harming aquatic species and ecosystems.
Chitosan Silver: A Natural Approach to Healing
Expanding on our innovative use of silver, SilvaPlex incorporates a proprietary technology that combines the natural healing properties of chitosan with the antimicrobial power of silver - Complex AG21 Chitosan Silver. Derived from mushrooms, chitosan is known for its ability to enhance the healing process. By bonding silver to chitosan, we create a protective layer on the skin that is both antimicrobial and conducive to healing. This biodegradable film integrates seamlessly with the skin's natural healing process, offering a harmonious approach to wound care that is environmentally friendly and effective.
