For centuries, silver was humanity's go-to for health, hygiene, and healing.
Long before antibiotics and antiseptics, ancient cultures relied on silver to fight infection and preserve purity. Egyptians stored water in silver vessels to keep it fresh. Greek soldiers placed silver coins on wounds to prevent infection. Chinese healers prized silver for its antibacterial energy. Even European royalty used silver utensils in hopes of dodging deadly plagues—hence the saying, "born with a silver spoon in your mouth."
Silver was trusted, safe, and powerful. Modern medicine and big pharma replaced silver with other remedies, many of which have side effects, or can produce resistant strains of pathogens.
The Fall—and Rise—of Silver in Modern Health
With the rise of modern pharmaceuticals, silver was pushed aside. Synthetic antibiotics took center stage, and silver was relegated to history books and folk remedies.
But now, silver is staging a remarkable comeback—powered by science, precision chemistry, and cutting-edge technology.
Thanks to advanced formulations, silver is once again proving itself to be a potent force against harmful microbes—without harming the body's natural systems. From wound care and oral health to skincare, hygiene, and immune support, silver is back in a big way.
And at the forefront of this silver resurgence is SOMM.
The Problem with Colloidal Silver
Not all silver products are created equal. Many people are familiar with colloidal silver—metallic silver particles suspended in water. It's easy to make at home using electrolysis, but that's also the problem.
Homemade or low-quality colloidal silver is unpredictable. It can be ineffective, unstable, or even harmful—especially when used in high doses. The most notorious example? Paul Karason, "the blue man" who appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show after developing argyria—irreversible skin discoloration from years of consuming homemade silver.
Silver works, but only when it's in the right form, right dose, and right structure.
Introducing SOMM: Silver, Perfected by Science
At SOMM Essentials, we've taken silver to the next level with SOMM – Silver Oxide Molecular Matrix. It's a proprietary, nano-formulated silver oxide compound called tetrasilver tetroxide (Ag₄O₄), engineered for high performance and absolute safety.
Unlike colloidal silver, SOMM is highly structured and oxygen-bonded. That means:
- It works at ultra-low concentrations (just 10–34 PPM)
- It metabolizes safely—no residue, no buildup
- It's non-staining, non-toxic, and FDA-cleared
- It's proven in medical, dental, and cosmetic applications
SOMM can be formulated into gels, creams, lozenges, liquids, soaps, and sprays—making it incredibly versatile across health, hygiene, and skincare.
How SOMM Works: Science You Can Feel
SOMM isn't just effective—it's intelligent. Its +3 oxidative state gives it a powerful antimicrobial charge that:
- Destroys harmful pathogens like E. coli and Staph
- Breaks down biofilms (those slimy shields microbes hide behind)
- Soothes inflammation and promotes healing
- Leaves beneficial microbes alone—preserving your body's natural defenses
Unlike antibiotics, which kill both good and bad bacteria, SOMM targets only the bad guys. Think of it as a guided missile—precise, effective, and clean.
