アイオニックシルバー
Explanation:
"Ionic silver" is a natural antibiotic sold as a nutritional supplement at health stores. In Japan, it seems like "ionic silver" is not as widely known as in the US (mostly used for pets in Japan, for some reason).

12 google hits for アイオニックシルバー
2 google hits for イオン化銀
4 google hits for イオン化した銀

Not a very popular term either way, but アイオニックシルバー seems to be used more often in Japan.

For your reference, I picked once Japanese and one English site explaning what "ionic silver" is.

Hope this helps!

イオンになっている銀ということです。能¥動的にイオンにするということではありません。

塩の形になっているたいていの無機金属は、水などの溶媒中で、かなりの部分が解離してイオンの状態で存在します。電気的な条件などで特に能¥動的にイオン化する場合にはionizationを使用すると思います。その場合はionized silverになると思います。

イオン性の銀


Explanation:
化合物中でイオンとして結合して存在している銀、例えばAgCl(塩化銀)中のAg(銀)のこと。「イオン性」で調べてみてください。イオン結合している銀、という場合もあります。ちなみにイオン化は"ionization"でイオン化された銀は"ionized silver"であり、この場合、何らかの手段で銀をイオン化してAg+(銀イオン)にすることで意味が違います。この文の場合、”イオン性の銀が導入された"XXX。導入された銀がイオン結合により存在するよう銀を塩化銀などの形で導入していると思います。

塩化銀の形で「導入」ではなく「添加」でした。
