Benefits of Alkaline Ionized Water

There is a Slovakian proverb that states that “Pure water is the World’s first and foremost medicine.” In today’s world of flavored beverages, including water, it’s important to think about the quality of the water you drink.

Staying hydrated is essential to survival, and as mentioned above, there is no shortage of beverages available to choose from. Unfortunately, not all of these drinks are healthy. Next time you go to the grocery store, read the nutrition labels to check for added sugars. Sometimes these can end up being more than in food!

Sugary drinks are the leading source of sugars in the American diet. Think soda, fruit drinks, sports and energy drinks, flavored coffee and tea, and sweetened water. Too much sugar can lead to health problems including weight gain, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, kidney diseases, non-alcoholic liver disease, cavities, and gout.

The best choice for hydration is simply water. But what kind of water? In the rest of this blog, we’ll review the benefits of alkaline ionized water and how you can create it easily.

Alkaline water is among the plethora of healthy beverages available today, but what exactly are the benefits? And what exactly is alkaline ionized water?

Before we list the benefits of alkaline ionized water, let’s do a quick review of what alkaline water actually is, what ionized water is, and how it all works.

Alkaline refers to a substance that has the properties of or contains “alkali”, or has a pH greater than 7. A pH level measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is on a scale of 0 – 14 where 1 is very acidic and 13 is very alkaline. Alkaline water is reported to have many benefits because it is less acidic than regular water. (The term pH stands for “potential for hydrogen.” It’s a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a diluted solution. Acidic solutions contain more hydrogen ions. And alkaline solutions contain fewer.)

Ionized Water is water with mineral ions in it. Minerals in water become ionized when they either gain or lose electrons. A water ionizer separates carbonate from tap water from the alkaline minerals. Water ionizers use electromagnetism to change tap water into ionized alkaline water which helps acid-fighting alkalinity and antioxidant potential.

There are alkaline water drops which we’ll talk more about at the end of this post, which has a proprietary patented process in which the positive charge linked to a chlorine dioxide molecule has the negative charge removed, forming a balanced, non-toxic, and stabilized product. This process and the ingredients create an environment not conducive for anaerobic bacteria to grow, it’s also effective against pathogenic bacteria, and helps to oxygenate your blood.

How it Works

It’s important to understand the benefits of alkaline ionized water. Ionized alkaline water oxygenates your blood, nourishes tissues and organs, and creates a hostile environment for bacteria and optimal conditions for the body to be healthy.

Some of the benefits of alkaline ionized water are:

Increased energy levels (reduced fatigue and drowsiness)
Mental clarity
Detoxification
Anti-aging properties (via liquid antioxidants that absorb more quickly into the human body)
Reduced acid reflux
Colon-cleansing properties
Immune system support
Hydration
Skin health
Weight loss
Cancer resistance
Increased heart health

Where to Get Alkaline Ionized Water?

So where is the best place to get alkaline ionized water? There are expensive options such as machines, or even loading up on alkaline water from the store. One thing to think about is that the store-bought alkaline water is not always the quality we think it is. There is, however, a simple effective solution: ION drops.

ION oxygen drops are made of an effective formula that uses stabilized oxygen molecules to eliminate impurities and alkalize water. This can raise water’s pH level up to 10 while also increasing oxygen. This is a portable solution that you can use to add to your water on the go!

How much should you use? The best dosage is typically 1 drop per year of age up to 20 years old, 3 times a day. Your body will use up the ION and burn it up during the day. The best thing to do is put 60 drops in a container that you can drink all day long so you can spread it out. (For a baby, put 10 drops into a 10 oz. bottle and let them drink 2 oz’s 5 times throughout the day.)

There you have it! A review on the benefits of alkaline ionized water, and a solution that can keep you hydrated as you go about your busy day. Stay healthy!

I purchased this as an alternative to other alkaline water drops that use a higher dose of various minerals. I wanted something that was simpler as far as ingredients. This bottle was also bigger than the other drops I was using for the same price. I've been using the drops for about 3 weeks. So far, I've found it to be very easy to use and it does make drinks more alkaline. The bottle claims that it will purify unclean water, but I have not tried this method. I add it to water that is already purified or distilled water to make the water more alkaline. I think this is the safest method of use. It is helpful for people with Interstitial Cystitis, who specifically need water with high alkalinity to reduce pain and frequency. The suggestion on the label is 10 drops per 8 ounces of water. I have been able to add 1-2 drops and had success with raising the alkalinity. There is a saltier taste with this product, which I don't find problematic. It is not a heavy saltiness and I think it adds a little flavor to the drink. I find that this product is a little better than the other alkaline products because the ingredients are simple enough that it is easy to process. Some alkaline products add minerals like potassium chloride, which can be problematic for people with heart conditions. This products contains sodium chloride, which is salt. It can also be stored for a long period of time, so it can be used as a backup for emergencies. I carry it in my bag so that I can use it on the go. I put it in water I order at restaurants or while on vacation. It seems to work very well.

I rotate 3 0ne gallon water jugs that I use for drinking and to fill my dog's water bowl. I fill them with tap water from my kitchen sink, and it sits for at least 48 hours under my sink. I have 1 that sits on my counter, and 2 jugs, that rotate when I refill a jug with water that gets used up. I just did a taste test. Straight from my kitchen faucet, I drank the tap water, and the taste was horrible. I then took a sip of the 48 hour jug of water. It was a whole lot better in taste. Then I put about 2 oz of the 48 hour jug of water in a glass, and 2 drops of this Ion water treatment in that glass. And it was so, so, much better tasting. Amazing!

I have only been using these ION drops for a few days but I feel more revitalized and am sleeping more deeply. My skin is back to having its red undertones rather than the yellowish tint I get when I'm depleted from work/life stress and not taking the best care of myself. I drink it in my water with a lemon or lime slice. I'm not saying it's a "cure-all" but I am feeling hopeful that it might help me get back into balance along with other good choices. Recommend! I should add that I drink about 96 ounces of water with lemon or lime a day and add about 30 ION drops for every 24 ounces of water. The directions suggest 10-15 drops per every 8 ounce.

Just as advertised

I use Ion everyday in my water. I don’t mind the taste at all. I also put it in my girls juice everyday to help them not get sick. I can feel a difference in the way I feel when I don’t use it. Definitely recommend this product! I’ve also ordered their burn treatment and it works better than anything else I’ve used!

I only added 1 drop per oz. of water. No taste in the water! I tested the ph and it looks to be around about 9.0. The vial on the left is my tap water (around 7.5) the one in the middle is water using a profiltr (around 8.0) and the one on the far right is with the ion drops (around 9.0). You have to use a ph test that is for testing drinking water only. I see some people using wrong type of test. I am not buying any more profiltrs and sticking with ion drops, it's much more economical.
