Both of these machines make alkaline water, choose the right one and you will save a lot of money

Which is better for health alkaline water or kangen water? The fact is, there’s no difference health-wise. Kangen water™ is just a fancy name for alkaline water.  There only meaningful difference between them is price. Kangen water™ is  made by the Kangen machine, which costs nearly $4,000 – twice as much as many other ionizers. The reason the Kangen machine is so expensive is that it’s scheme.  If you want the health benefits that can come from drinking alkaline water, you can save thousands of dollars by buying a machine directly from the manufacturer, and avoid the mult-level marketed products like the kangen machine.

Alkaline water and kangen water™ are the same thing

life-ionizer-reviews-kangen-scamAlkaline water and kangen water™ are  made using a water ionizer.  Kangen water™ is a trademarked name for alkaline water which is owned by Enagic™ Corporation. Trademark names don’t actually mean anything, for example Saran Wrap™ is just a trademark name for plastic wrap. The term Kangen means “return to origin” in Japanese, it comes from Japanese mythology.

Alkaline water, whether you call it kangen water or not, gets it’s health benefits from mineral hydrates. These compounds are made of alkaline minerals such as calcium and magnesium, plus an antioxidant hydroxyl ion. Tap water doesn’t contain mineral hydrates, that’s why it isn’t as good for you as alkaline water. Tap water contains mineral carbonates. Compounds made of alkaline minerals plus bicarbonate ions. Tap water is actually better for your health than most bottled water, it’s just not as good as alkaline water. A water ionizer uses an electrochemical process – called electrodialysis – to change the carbonate minerals in tap water into mineral hydrates. The quality of alkaline water is determined by how well a water ionizer converts those mineral carbonates into mineral hydrates.

Is alkaline water and kangen water™ safe to drink?

Yes, the mineral hydrates in alkaline water are recognized by the FDA as beneficial to health. Alkaline water consists primarily of calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide; both of these mineral hydrates are used as food additives  to make food more nutritious. Calcium hydroxide is so safe and effective that it is used to fortify infant formula with calcium! Magnesium hydroxide is the active ingredient in Milk of Magnesia. This is why drinking alkaline water can provide gradual relief from constipation symptoms.

Does the kangen water™ machine make better alkaline water?

No, the kangen  machine isn’t powerful enough to produce water that is as rich in healthy mineral hydrates as most other ionizers it competes against. You can find water ionizers for half the price of the kangen™ machine that make better alkaline ionized water. What makes one ionizer more capable than another is power, and the Kangen machine has only 230 watts, so it’s not that powerful. Compare that to the Life Ionizers MXL-13: The MXL-13 costs less than the Kangen machine, but it can adjust up to 800 watts, making it the most powerful home water ionizer in the world!

If you are considering buying a home water ionizer, do yourself a favor and skip the kangen™ machine. You will save thousands of dollars and get better alkaline ionized water.  The problem with the kangen™ machine is that it uses older, inefficient technology. Enagic™ Corporation has never upgraded it; despite the fact that significant improvements to water ionizer technology have been introduced by many of Enagic’s competitors.

Technology you can get in a Life Ionizer, that you can’t get in a Kangen machine:

  • Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) – Makes water ionizers more powerful and efficient
  • UV light disinfection – Kills bacteria, viruses, mold, and cysts
  • Heavy Duty GRID plates – Guaranteed to last a lifetime, they deliver 15% higher pH levels and antioxidant strength compared to flat plates
  • Customized filtration – Configured to target the toxins found in your local water supply, so your alkaline water is pure

    Hi!
    I have the same question than Rajesh! I am in doubt between a Kangen machine and yours. Could you please clarify Rajesh¨s question?

    Thanks

  • RAJESH LAL

    How do I know that your machine and product is better and longer lasting then Kangen. this may well be your sales talk.

  • I like to start with this my sister inlaw recomend it’s good im breathless sometimes

  • Alarick Towns

    enagic insist that they are the gold standard of all the alkaline waters on the planet. Do I even need to attend a conference by them to more about this before I buy?

  • Bonita Picard

    I have a friend that has a Kangen Ionizer. She said there is no other that compares but I cannot afford Kangen.
