Why Alkaline Water

Does Alkaline Water Work

  • There are a few studies that suggest alkaline water might be helpful for certain conditions.
  • For example, in 2012 during a vitro study it was found that drinking naturally carbonated artesian-well alkaline water with a pH of 8.8 may help deactivate pepsin, the main enzyme that causes acid reflux. However, more human studies are needed to explore these findings.
  • Researchers in Japan conducted a small study that suggested that drinking alkaline electrolyzed water slightly improved stool in 60 participants.
  • A 2016 study that included 100 people found a significant difference in whole blood viscosity after consuming high-pH water compared to regular water after a strenuous workout. Viscosity is the direct measurement of how efficiently blood flows through the vessels.
  • Those who consumed high pH water had reduced viscosity by 6.3 percent compared to 3.36 percent with standard purified drinking water. This means blood flowed more efficiently with alkaline water. This can increase oxygen delivery throughout the body.
  • However, more research is needed beyond these small studies. In particular, research is needed to answer other claims made by alkaline water supporters.
  • Despite the lack of proven scientific research, proponents of alkaline water still believe in its proposed health benefits. These include: pro-aging properties (via liquid antioxidants that absorb more quickly into the human body), colon-cleansing properties, immune system support, hydration, skin health, and other detoxifying properties, weight loss, and cancer resistance
  • They also argue that soft drinks, which are notoriously acidic, have very positive ORPs, which lead to many health problems, while properly ionized and alkalinized waters have highly negative ORPs.

Alkaline vs. Normal Water

  • Alkaline water has a higher pH level than regular drinking water. Because of this, some advocates of alkaline water believe it can neutralize the acid in your body.
  • Normal drinking water generally has a neutral pH of 7. Alkaline water typically has a pH of 8 or 9.
  • Alkaline water must also contain alkaline minerals and negative oxidation-reduction potential (ORP). ORP is the ability of water to act as a pro- or antioxidant. The more negative the ORP value, the more antioxidizing it is.

Natural Alkaline

Water that’s naturally alkaline occurs when water passes over rocks — like springs — and picks up minerals, which increase its alkaline level. The issue is that this water also contains lots of dirt and other elements that make it not healthy to drink.

Alkaline Water

Tringen uses a special technique that’s been created through a chemical process called electrolysis to ensure that your water is better, healthy and safer. Tringen uses special techniques to ensure that our water is the best.

Technique

This technique uses a product called an ionizer to raise the pH of regular water. We use electricity to separate molecules in the water that are more acidic or more alkaline. The acidic water is then funneled out.
