Kangen Water

Crystalline Structured Alkaline Ionized Living Water

 “Kangen” in Japanese means “to return to origin”. Kangen Water is deeply hydrating, anti-oxidant rich, alkaline, Living Water which supports our bodies to return to its most vibrant and healthy state.

Water is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms. It is vital for all known forms of Life, and the essence of Life. It is the most fundamental substance to our existence. It has been studied since 'study' began, and honoured by countless cultures and groups of people from all around the world.

Some important functions of water:

  • It drives the digestive system; it’s the basis for the digestive juices and acids that break down our food

  • It drives the respiratory system; the lung and sinus systems depend on large quantities of water

  • It is essential to our circulatory system. Blood is 82% water, blood plasma is 92% water, blood cells are 60% water. The kidneys, and other water organs, regulate the composition of blood and produce urine

  • Water is essential for the liver’s function of producing and converting nutrients from the digestive system, and particularly detoxification

  • Because the brain has a high water content (70+%) adequate hydration is required for efficient brain activity

However, not all water is the same! Different factors like pH and ORP level, mineral content, physical, chemical and energetic quality of the water, molecular structure, and such, all play an important role in the health and quality of Water and how it affects us and our health.

Most waters around the world, and especially the water from our faucet or bottled water is highly polluted. Polluted with harmful chemicals, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals and more, but also energetically polluted. Essentially, the harmonious, crystalline structure of the Water molecules has been distorted, and therefore it does not exhibit its life-giving and life-sustaining qualities and properties that are so vital for Life. Crystalline structured water refers to water that exists in its liquid crystalline state, and displays organized and repeating geometric structures, to varying degrees of complexity, in its atomic and molecular formations — it is Living Water.

    Crystalline Structured Living Water

    The Water in our bodies, and also the bio-water in all living things/beings, is highly structured. In fact, Water’s functions as a Life-supporting element are dependent upon this structure, which implies that it is not necessarily Water that is necessary for all life, it is Structured Liquid Crystalline Water. Kangen Water ionizers use an electrical field, which is one of the ways to create structured water, to alchemize stagnant tap water into Crystalline Structured Living Water.

    Alkaline Ionized Water

    Kangen Water ionizers use electrolysis to structure and alkalize the Water. Alkaline Ionized water is also called electrolyzed reduced water, which has preventive and positive effects on oxidative stress-related diseases such as diabetes, cancer, arteriosclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases, and side effects of hemodialysis. These beneficial effects can be attributed to Kangen Water’s abundance in molecular hydrogen, healthy minerals, alkaline pH, anti-oxidizing potential and high crystalline structure.

    Molecular hydrogen (H2)

    Molecular hydrogen (H2) is abundantly available in Kangen Water. H2 has been extensively studied in science, which shows that it is beneficial for over 170 human disease models, and has therapeutic benefits for potentially every organ in the human body. Molecular hydrogen is anti-oxidizing, anti-inflammatory, anti-neurological and anti-metabolic disease, anti-aging, and a lot more. Learn more about molecular hydrogen here.

Kangen Water is scientifically called electrolyzed reduced water (ERW) or alkaline ionized water (AIW), and can also be referred to as hydrogen rich water (HRW) when it is clearly stated that the HRW discussed/researched is acquired through electrolysis (explained below). Kangen Water is a registered trademark of Enagic (established in 1974), which is a Japanese-based company that has been the leader in manufacturing water- ionization systems that transform regular tap water into antioxidant rich, alkaline ionized drinking water. In April 1987, The Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare authorized the Enagic Osaka factory as a medical equipment manufacturer, meaning that all Enagic's products are certified medical devices.

Kangen Water Ionizers alchemize tap water into electrolyzed reduced water through a process of electrolysis, which is the decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas due to the passage of an electrical current. In this process, water is placed in an electric field and the positive ions in the water are pulled to one side of a permeable membrane while the negative ions are drawn to the other side, which results alkaline water on one side and acidic water on the other. The alkaline ionized water is rich in molecular hydrogen, which has powerful anti-oxidant like effects, as well as anti-inflammatory, anti-metabolic and anti-neurological disease, anti-aging, and a lot more. Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been extensively studied in science, which you can learn more about here.

Besides Kangen Water being deeply hydrating, anti-oxidizing and life-giving Water, like mentioned above its molecules are highly structured. Structured water refers to water that exists in its liquid crystalline state, and displays organized and repeating geometric structures, to varying degrees of complexity, in its atomic and molecular formations. This is important as the specific organization of the water’s structure directly relates to the storage and conduction of energy and information within our bodies. The more highly structured the water within out bodies, the better they are at doing their every day cellular processes, but also at communicating/responding to everything that is happening within and around them.

Our bodies are made mostly of Structured Water, so besides the fact that it is beneficial for our bio-water to be structured, it is quite crucial for Life. By molecular content (rather than mass weight), we are over 99% structured water. This means when we count the number of molecules in our body, we find that 99% of our molecules are highly structured and crystallographic water.

Water molecules are incredibly small, yet today’s technologies make it possible to physically view the structure and shape they make as they arrange themselves, allowing us to compare the shape and structure of water molecules inside of the cells, bloodstream, and even those surrounding the DNA strands. This can be done with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technology. NMR technology allows researchers to view the shape, motion and composition of molecules.

The Water in our bodies, and also the bio-water in all living things and self-organized systems, is highly structured. In fact, Water’s functions as a Life-supporting element are dependent upon this structure. This implies that it is not necessarily Water that is necessary for all life, it is Structured Liquid Crystalline Water.
