What is MicroSilver BG™?
Bio-Gate AG© MicroSilver BG™ is a pure silver powder consisting of highly porous and micro-sized (NOT nano!) particles of medical grade silver. Produced in Germany under ISO 13485, ISO 9001
Problem: The vast majority (≈ 90%) of skin problems and odor are due to bacteria. MicroSilver provides lasting broad-spectrum anti-microbial action on top of the skin, helps to maintain a healthy skin flora, and boosts the skin’s natural defenses. The particles physically cling very well to skin & hair follicles and provide a depot of pure silver that continuously generates silver ions resulting in long-lasting action. MicroSilver also provides skin-friendly and natural product preservation.
How Does it Work?
Silver has an antibacterial, i.e. germ-killing effect. The actual active ingredients here are the silver ions (Ag+), which are released by moisture and migrate to the surface. There, they attack germs in different ways. Basically, these germs are prevented from multiplying in this way. In everyday life, we often speak of germs, but this term is already relatively old.
Today, medical professionals talk primarily about pathogens. By this they mean bacteria, yeasts, fungi and viruses. Some of these types of pathogens have their metabolism and can multiply themselves by cell division. Viruses are also classified as pathogens, but they differ from bacteria, yeasts and fungi. Viruses do not have their own metabolism and are therefore always dependent on a host in order to reproduce themselves. Silver has a killing effect on germs. This is why it is advisable to add microsilver to materials in order to take advantage of this effect.
