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.

What is the difference?

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.

Microsilver BG FAQs

  • Silver has an antibacterial, i.e. germ-killing effect. The actual active ingredients are MicroSilver BG™
  • Proven long term residual activity Broad spectrum, no known resistance.
  • Safe and natural.
  • MicroSilver BG™ constantly produces ions on the epidermis to help fight transient germs, not affecting natural skin flora.
  • MicroSilver BG™ has an average size of 10 microns-the benefit of the larger size is it stays on the skin surface killing bad bacteria.
  • It does not penetrate the skin or mucous membrane where good bacteria resides.
  • Particles of metallic nanosilver suspended in a liquid solution such as mineral oil (10-30nm particles)
  • Typically produced via a chemical electrolysis process with numerous impurities
  • Nano particles will not stay on the surface of the skin
  • Whole nano controversy →Safety for humans and environment? No new nano products in EU
  • Primarily used in homeopathic remedies; little acceptance in cosmetics –few products on market

  • Pure elemental dry silver powder consisting of highly porous & micro-sized particles of pure silver.
  • Produced by physical process using highly refined medical grade pure silver (99.99%).
  • No chemical waste in production. No chemical carriers or ion exchange systems.
  • Pure silver deposit that provides a continuous and lasting generation of silver ions over time even in complex environments (sweat, blood, wound drainage fluid, urine)
  • Provides sustainable antimicrobial action on the surface of the skin against unwanted germs and without harming the resident skin flora (good resident bacteria)
  • Helps provide product preservation.
  • High product safety due to large micro-sized particles. No skin or mucosa tissue penetration. (avg. size 10 microns = 10,000 nm); particle structure helps MS cling to skin and hair
  • Natural: NPA (USA), ECOCERT / COSMOS (EU), Vegan certified
  • Used in cosmetics, skincare, oral & personal care, wound care, bone cement, dental fillers(over 200 customers on the market. Market experience since 2005)
