Kagen water

 What is Kangen Water?

Kangen Water® is alkaline, ionized water produced by Enagic's Japanese electrolysis machines. These devices filter tap water and then separate it into different types based on pH: alkaline drinking water (typically pH 8.5–9.5), neutral cleaning water (pH 7.0), acidic beauty water, and strong acidic or strongly alkaline water (~2.5 or 11.0+) .

Key features include:

High pH (alkalinity) to neutralize acidity in the body .

Negative oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), offering antioxidant properties that may combat free radicals .

Micro-clustered water—claimed to hydrate more effectively due to smaller molecular clusters .

Mineral-retaining filtration, keeping healthy minerals like calcium and magnesium .

Health Benefits & Considerations

Perceived Benefits:

Hydration: Smaller water clusters help quicker absorption .

Detoxification: Alkaline water is thought to support bodily detox by balancing acidity .

Digestion & Acid Reflux: May help neutralize stomach acid .

Immune Support: A more alkaline internal environment is often promoted for improved immune function .

Potential Drawbacks:

Electrolyte imbalance, digestive changes, allergic responses, or interference with medications can occur .

Environmental impact via energy usage and filter disposal; machines cost $1,500–$6,000 USD upfront plus annual maintenance .
