FAQ
How much alkaline water should I drink daily?

If you're not accustomed to drinking a lot of water, start with 3-4 glasses of alkaline water daily (approximately 1 liter) and gradually increase your intake to 8 glasses daily (2 liters).

Is it advisable to drink alkaline water with meals?

No, it's not recommended to consume ionised water 30 minutes before and up to 2 hours after meals. Our stomach requires an acidic environment for effective food digestion, and drinking alkaline water with meals can slow down the digestion process.

Can I use alkaline water to take my medication?

It's advisable not to consume ionised water 30 minutes before and up to 2 hours after taking medication. Ionised water has a smaller cluster size, which can accelerate its absorption into our cells. To ensure the proper absorption rate of your medication, it's best to drink only the filtered water (pH 7) from the ioniser with your medication.

When is the best time to drink alkaline water?

The ideal time to have your first glass of alkaline water is right when you wake up on an empty stomach. Alkaline water is absorbed most effectively in this state. You should continue to drink alkaline water throughout the day, but remember not to do so 30 minutes before and up to 2 hours after meals and taking medication.

Is there anyone who should not drink alkaline ionised water?

Some individuals, particularly older people with a history of toxin accumulation, may need to start with small amounts of alkaline water, such as 1-2 glasses of Level 1 (8.5 pH) per day. Children under 5 years old should avoid alkaline water and stick to purified water from the ioniser (pH 7). For children aged 6 to 13, it's recommended to only drink alkaline water at Level 1 or Level 2.

Does alkaline water taste better?

The taste of alkaline water can vary from person to person. Some individuals find alkaline water to have a smoother taste compared to regular water, while others might perceive it as having a slightly bitter.

What pH level should I set on my ioniser when I begin drinking alkaline water?

When starting with alkaline water, begin with Level 1 (8.5 pH) for the first week. If it suits you well, progress to Level 2 (9.0 pH) in the second week and then to Level 3 (9.5 pH) in the third week. Avoid using Level 4 for drinking.

How does alkaline ionised water taste?

Some individuals describe alkaline water from a water ionizer as resembling natural artesian spring water, emphasizing its refreshing and smooth qualities. They may note a slightly sweeter and more satisfying taste compared to plain H2O.

Is alkaline ionised water good for athletes?

Yes, alkaline ionised water is beneficial for athletes. Staying properly hydrated is essential for athletes, as it plays a crucial role in supporting the body's physical and mental functions during training and competition. Research spanning several decades has consistently shown that even mild dehydration can impair athletic performance. Alkaline ionised water, with its micro-clustered properties, can be absorbed more efficiently, aiding in the rehydration of the body's tissues. Additionally, regular consumption of alkaline water can increase blood oxygen levels as it help to neutralise acid found inside the bloodstream, providing muscles, tissues, and organs with more oxygen, which can enhance stamina and endurance. Alkaline water can be a valuable tool for athletes looking to optimise their performance.

How do I know if I am out of pH balance?

There are several external signs that may indicate an imbalance in the body's pH levels. These signs include unexplained skin issues like rashes and acne, the presence of dark circles under the eyes, dry and cracked skin, brittle nails and hair, and unexplained weight gain. Other indicators may involve digestive problems such as stomach upset and indigestion, mood swings such as confusion, anger, or irritability, food sensitivities and allergic reactions, frequent infections, persistent fatigue, and even symptoms of depression. Improving the body's pH balance through an alkaline diet, which includes fresh, raw alkaline foods and alkaline water, can help restore the body's natural defence mechanisms, promoting overall health and well-being.

Are There Any Side Effects Related to Drinking Alkaline Water?

In the vast majority of cases, there are no health concerns associated with drinking alkaline water. Alkaline water is not a recent discovery, as well water can have a pH of 8.5 or even higher.

Is hydrogen water safe?

Hydrogen water is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA, which means it is approved for human consumption and not known to cause harm.

Can I preserve alkaline ionized water for later consumption, and if so, how long does it last?

Alkaline ionized water contains antioxidant molecules (H2) that start to dissipate immediately after ionization. To retain the benefits, it is recommended to drink the water as soon as possible. Storing it for an extended period may result in the loss of these antioxidant properties, so it's best to consume it shortly after ionization for maximum effectiveness.
