SilverSol
The company utilizes SilverSol nano-catalytic technology in their products. SilverSol Technology has twenty plus safety reports and test series as well as the first ever double blind, FDA cleared, human ingestion toxicity study done on any silver product.[11] SilverSol silver particles are Ag404 molecules. The term "Sol" is a chemical designation of a pure mineral permanently suspended in water where the mineral’s charge is transferred to the entire body of water. The technology is also known as Silver Hydrosols.[12]

Patent 20100316685 for "Dental Uses of Silver Hydrosol" is still pending approval.[19]
Dentistry
Silversol technology is being used in dentistry for various purposes. In a protocol called VERASIL it is being used for new connective tissue reattachment procedure using an Erbium Laser, new restorative protocols, endodontic protocols, bone grafting protocols, dental implant as well as non-surgical periodontal protocols.[20] It has been approved by EPA for both initial cleaning and maintenance of dental waterlines.[21] The approved product has been found to be effective against biofilms. The CRA Foundation, a leading independent dental testing lab, has also chosen the product as a top dental waterline product based on effectiveness-cost criteria.[22]
