Many different terms are being using to describe ionic silver products in an attempt to obfuscate the truth. The following terms are currently in fashion: monatomic silver, silver hydrosol, covalent silver, and silver water. Monatomic silver is another advertising term commonly used to describe ionic silver solutions.
