Water Facts

About pH and ORP

Ionized alkaline drinking water is saturated with negatively charged ions. These negatively charged ions attract the positively charged ions of harmful acids and neutralize them. Scientists have devised ways to measure and assign values to the electron activity. The measurement is known as oxidative reduction potential, or ORP.

Acidity in the Body

The human body creates acid, all day, every day, as a byproduct of metabolism. In addition, acid is introduced into the system through eating and digestion. Many secreted and digested acids are swept away by the blood stream, filtered out by the kidneys, and released from the body in the urine. Other acids leave the body through perspiration. Your body can only process a certain amount of acids, however, so it is possible to overload the system and for the body to become acidic.

Alkaline Water Benefits

The ionization process breaks down water molecules in to micro-clusters allowing rapid delivery to cell walls for a superior hydrating effect at a cellular level. Micro-clustered water delivers nutrients to the cells more efficiently. Among several other benefits including proper hydration, detoxification, and balance in your body's pH levels, drinking alkaline water can ultimately contribute to weight loss and anti-aging.

Bottled Water

Concerned about contaminants and the taste of their drinking water, millions of Americans are turning off the tap. As a result, bottled water has become a leading source of hydration.

How Ionizers Work

First developed in Japan in the 1950s, water ionizers use an electrical charge to split water into alkaline water (with a pH above 7.0) and acidic water (with a pH below 7.0). The higher the pH of the drinking water, the more effective it is at combating the damaging effects of acids in the body.

Hydration

Studies suggest drinking alkaline ionized water may have these benefits:

Hydration: Ionized alkaline water has a higher pH, which studies indicate can hydrate you better and help your body absorb beneficial nutrients and avoid harmful ones.

Detoxification: Doctors use a method called Alkaline Diuresis to raise urine pH to a range of 7.5 – 8.5 pH, which helps flush acidic toxins out through the urine. Alkaline water has been shown to raise urine pH which may help in detoxification

pH Balance: Low urine pH is associated with the symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome. Raising urine pH is a method used by doctors that can help fight symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome such as a high Body Mass Index (BMI).

Anti-Aging: Free radical damage in the body is considered to be a factor in aging. Alkaline water has been shown to increase levels of age-fighting antioxidants in the body, and reduce levels of free radicals.

What is Acidic Water?

All tap water in the US has a positive ORP which is associated with free radical damage in the body. The pH of tap water varies widely, but EPA allows tap water to have an acidic pH (as low as 6.5 pH). ALL bottled waters also have a positive ORP so they may also promote the formation of harmful free radicals in the body.

What is Alkaline Water?

Alkaline ionized mineral water is water that contains alkaline minerals (such as calcium) which have been subjected to an electrical current. The water has two chemical properties that make it good for you: Alkaline pH – supports body detoxification and pH balance; Negative Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) makes the water an antioxidant Alkaline water is commonly used to improve people’s health in many Asian countries, and is rapidly gaining acceptance in the US and Europe.

What is Ionized Water?

Ionized water is water that has minerals in it which have been ionized by an electrical current. Ionization changes the number of electrons in an atom; the result of ionization is that the minerals take on an electrical charge. Minerals are found in all water sources on Planet Earth, and any water found in nature is ionized to some degree. There are two kinds of ionized water: Alkaline Ionized Mineral Water – Drink for health; Acidic Ionized Mineral Water – Sanitation and cosmetic uses.
