Q: What should I expect from drinking Alkaline Ionized water?

A: This will initially depend on what level of strength you begin drinking Ionized Alkaline Water. Ionized Water provides your body with lots of oxygen, which is why it gives us energy. Ionized Water is much smoother tasting than conventional water. It makes better coffee, tea, juice, etc. Alkaline Water is wonderful to cook with because it helps hydrate the food and bring out its flavor. However, other changes in your body after drinking Ionized Water will be much more subtle and will take some time. If you have accumulated acid waste in your system, it probably took years for you to get into that condition and it will take some time to reverse it. As the body is slowly brought into pH balance by drinking Ionized Water, it will naturally begin to function more efficiently and problems will begin to correct themselves.

Q: Is there anyone who should not drink Ionized Alkaline Water?

A: Some people must start by drinking very small amounts of Ionized Alkaline Water, such as 8 oz. of strength level 1 (one) Ionized Alkaline Water per day. This is especially true of the elderly who often have unfortunately allowed heavy metals and other toxins to accumulate in their bodies. Sometimes years of medication has accumulated in them.

Q: Should I take medication or supplements with Ionize Alkaline Water?

A: You should not drink Ionize Alkaline Water 45 minutes to 1 hour before or after taking medication or supplements. Do not drink Ionized Alkaline Water when taking the medication or supplements. Use purified water or another liquid or water source.

Q: Can a person become too Alkaline from drinking Ionized Alkaline Water?

A: People have been known to drink as much as 1 to 2 gallons of Ionized Water every day and gotten great benefit from it. And they have not appeared to become too alkaline. On the contrary, one of the most common imbalances people have today that leads to health problems is that they are too acidic. Our blood pH should be approximately 7.35. The more acidic we are, the greater opportunity we have provided disease to flourish in us. In fact, it is rare for a person to acquire Alkalosis, the condition of being too alkaline. We should always drink Alkaline Water and eat Alkaline Foods such as fruits and vegetables.

Q: How much water should I drink and at what level?

A: This varies according to which expert you talk to. Some say you should drink half your body weight in ounces per day. For example, a person weighing 100 pounds should drink 50 ounces. You should start slow at strength Level 1 (one), drinking 1-3 glasses per day for the first week. You may increase the number of glasses per day during the first week if you do not notice any side effects. If you do not feel any flu like symptoms at the end of the first week, move up to strength Level 2 (two). On strength Level 2 (two), drink 1-3 glasses per day for the first week. You may increase the number of glasses per day during the first week if you’re feeling good. On average, two to three weeks per level; work your way up to a 10.5 pH (strength Level 4 (four). The higher the strength level of Ionized Water you can drink, the better it is for you because the water is more Alkaline, more Detoxifying, and a stronger Antioxidant that provides your body with more Oxygen.

Q: When will I begin noticing the health benefits?

A: It varies from person to person. You might start noticing a positive response in as little as one day or within a few weeks.

Q: Why do some people have flu like symptoms when first drinking Ionised Alkaline Water?

A: If you start drinking Ionized Alkaline Water at a high level (high pH level), you might notice flu like symptoms. The ionisation process creates water molecule clusters that are half the size of regular water molecule clusters. This is why Ionised Alkaline Water is sometimes referred to as "reduced water" because it has become reduced in size from a 12 water molecule cluster to 6 water molecule cluster. This makes the water much more hydrating because it flows through our body tissue more easily, thus pushing toxins out of our system. It is this detoxifying effect that sometimes gives people headaches and diarrhea and why there are 4 levels of strength.

Q: How does Ionised Alkaline Water affect athletes?

A: In an extremely positive way, as you might expect. Blood oxygen levels may rise at varying amounts with regular use of strong Ionised Water. This may increase stamina, endurance and provides the muscles tissue and organs with high amounts of oxygen, which the human body often lacks, even in athletes because inadequate diets. Proper hydration sustains the body's physiological responses in all activities, but the physical and mental stresses of athletic training and competition magnify the importance of hydration. Numerous studies conducted on athletes since the 1940s have demonstrated that even mild dehydration impairs performance. Current thought is that athletes consuming a traditional Western diet have consumed an abundance of salt, so there is no need to replace salt when exercise last less than two hours. Water that has been alkalinized may help neutralize the exercise induced acidosis (lactic acid build up), since the pH of alkaline water is high. Ionized water may help act as a free-radical scavenger to address the issue of accelerated oxygen consumption. Ionized water is micro-clustered, so it may be absorbed at a faster rate, helping with rehydration. We recommend drinking 13 to 20 ounces (2-3 cups) of water 2 hours before exercise and 5 to 10 ounces (about 1-2 cups) every 15 to 20 minutes of exercise, depending on your total body weight.

Q: How long does Ionized Alkaline Water stay Ionized?

A: The Antioxidant (hydroxyl ions) will last approximately 18-24 hours. The Higher pH (alkaline properties) will last approximately 1-2 weeks. The smaller molecule cluster size will last approximately 1-3 months. Does Ionized Alkaline Water have any negative effects?
Absolutely none, as long as it is used properly. Only the Alkaline Water should be consumed. NEVER DRINK THE ACIDIC WATER.
