This short video explains colloidal copper basics—what it is, how it differs from ionic/salt forms, why particle size and purity matter, and general storage/usage considerations. No medical claims—just a neutral overview to pair with the deeper dive below.

Colloidal Copper — Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is colloidal copper?
Colloidal copper is ultra-fine, pure copper particles suspended in water. Unlike copper salts (e.g., gluconate), true colloids contain elemental copper nanoparticles and no added proteins or stabilizers.
2) How is colloidal copper different from copper salts or ionic copper?
Colloidal copper contains metallic nanoparticles, while “ionic” products contain dissolved copper ions from a salt. Visual cues often differ too: true colloids can show a pale tint from particle light scattering, whereas ionic solutions are typically clear.
3) What does PPM mean and what concentration should I choose?
PPM (parts per million) indicates the mass of copper per liter of water. Common options include 10–40 PPM. Higher PPM isn’t automatically “better”—quality (particle size, purity, process) matters more than a big number on the label.
4) Why does particle size matter?
Smaller, uniformly dispersed particles help maintain a stable suspension and characteristic color. Consistent nano-range particles also support predictable product performance and easier, natural excretion by the body.
5) What color should colloidal copper be?
Authentic colloidal copper may appear very light amber or have a faint hue depending on concentration and particle size. It should not be dark or cloudy, and there should be no visible sediment when properly stored.
6) How is high-quality colloidal copper made?
Reputable manufacturers use controlled processes to produce ultra-pure copper nanoparticles in pharmaceutical-grade water, avoiding additives, salts, and proteins. Rigorous cleanliness, testing, and batch consistency are key.
7) How do I store colloidal copper and what’s the shelf life?
Store sealed, away from heat, sunlight, and electromagnetic sources. Do not freeze. When stored properly, unopened bottles generally maintain quality through the best-by date printed on the label.
8) Can colloidal copper be used with other supplements?
Many people combine minerals (e.g., zinc, magnesium) in their routines. If you’re unsure about timing or potential interactions, consult a qualified healthcare professional for guidance tailored to you.
9) Is colloidal copper safe for everyday use?
Always follow the product label and do not exceed suggested use. If you’re pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or take medications, speak with your healthcare provider before use.
10) Does colloidal copper have a taste or aftertaste?
High-purity, properly made colloidal copper is typically very mild in taste. Any noticeable metallic taste is usually subtle and depends on PPM and individual sensitivity.
