Pectin is a dietary fiber and as such is indigestible. So the silver particles will just be excreted.
Ok, but according to the study...
"Relationship between Molecular Weights of Pectin and Hypocholesterolemic Effects in Rats"
http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1271/bbb.59.2130 Quote: "...For these reasons, it is difficult to add sufficient pectin to food and drink to produce the physiological effects of a dietary fiber..." End quote.
...confirming that at least Pectin does not act as "normal" fiber.
And according to...
"Chemistry of Pectin and Its Pharmaceutical Uses : Review"
http://www.researchgate.net/publication/215872059_Chemistry_of_pectin_and_its_pharmaceutical_uses_A_reviewQuote: "...The pectin, by itself or by its gelling properties, was employed in pharmaceutical industry, health promotion and treatment. It has been used potentially as a carrier for drug delivery to the gastrointestinal tract, such as matrix tablets, gel beads, film-coated doses form..." End quote.
So even though it's not useful for colloidal silver to enter the blood stream, it should be useful for releasing silver ions through the gastro-intestinal tract, where other types if colloidal silver will not be able to enter.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
