Alkaline vs Alkalized Water: What is the Difference?

Alkaline water is a hot topic. It is believed that an alkalized state within the body may assist in disease prevention (notably cancer). And if this is true, it would seem that drinking alkaline water would be of tremendous benefit.

However, not all water is the same. For example, if you were to test the pH of your pool and determine that it was too acidic, you would add chemicals to raise the pH. Therefore the actual water, at the molecular level, has a lower than desired pH, which is then artificially remedied by the introducing chemicals.

This is also the process by which commercially bottled “alkaline” water is brought up to an alkaline pH. Have you ever noticed on the label of an alkaline water bottle? There is an ingredient list! That’s because there are things being added to the water to raise the pH. It is important to note that overconsumption of the added chemicals and/or synthetic minerals can lead to undesireable, unintended consequences for your health. Ionized, alkalized Kangen water, however, is different at the core. Through the process of electrolysis, the water molecules are reduced. This not only makes the water more hydrating to your cells (because the clusters are so small and readily available for uptake) but also creates water that is naturally higher in pH due to the electrical restructuring of the molecules.

The great news is that Kangen water, which is considered an ERW, or electrolyzed reduced water, is naturally alkaline, without needing to add anything to the water!
