AC or DC voltage for colloidal gold?

[Wesley Becker]

Which one does it matter. I use up to 30 volts volts DC. Hotplate with magnetic stir, distilled water... does anyone know if ac voltage must be used instead?

Welcome to us.
You need to give us more information.
For what purpose are you using it and what material.

Apologies. I use .9999 copper cathode and .9999 gold anode. Colloidal gold via electrolysis. And for sublingual, consumption, add to drinking water...

dc voltage is used and low current.
I used to make this a while back.
Have a recipe somewhere and it worked pretty good.
EDIT ADD: But I remember an extra additive. Think it was a tiny bit of sodium citrate.

I was using sodium bicarbonate, but I will try citrate like tou said since ive heard that more than once now..I'm not a pro but I'm really into all of this. Gold seems to be harder than the other colloidal metals. Should I be using something external to limit the current? Im using a simple voltage dc generator. Thanks alot Adam.

Still looking for my recipe but I checked youtube for quite a while to try to remember what I added.
Found some sodium citrate, sea salt, karo syrup.
Now I remember the citrate, salt and karo syrup only a little.
I did it to taste.
First time I did it to others recipe and there was too much salt is awful to drink so only a little. (I'm thinking I used 1/4 teaspoon of each and less than a teaspoon of syrup.
Distilled water.
The salts help make the water conductive to get it started.
I used very little additives so my cooking/heating auto stirring low current maybe 200 milli-amp 30 to 40vdc and heated up a little took 3 hours.
If you add more salts it is much quicker, (I use less salt for a nice smooth flavor).
Deep Ruby Red when done.
Made 2 liter batches at a time, fill a gallon jug.
Lasted me a long time.
