Silver has been used for the treatment of medical ailments for over 100 years due to its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. The Nano-silver particles typically measure <10 nm. They have extremely large relative surface area, increasing their contact with bacteria or fungi, and vastly improving its bactericidal and fungicidal effectiveness.
The Nano-silver when in contact with bacteria and fungus will adversely affect cellular metabolism
and inhibit cell growth. The Nano-silver suppresses respiration, basal metabolism of electron transfer system, and transport of substrate
in the microbial cell membrane. The Nano-silver inhibits multiplication and growth of those bacteria and fungi which cause infection,
