Kangen Water is a type of alkaline water that is produced by water ionization machines, specifically those manufactured by Enagic, a company based in Japan. The term “Kangen” comes from the Japanese word “Kangen” (é‚„å…ƒ), meaning “return to origin,” which refers to the idea of returning water to its natural, pure state by making it more alkaline and antioxidant-rich.
Key Features of Kangen Water:
- Alkaline pH:
Kangen Water has a higher pH (typically around 8.5 to 9.5) than regular tap water. This alkalinity is believed to help neutralize excess acidity in the body, potentially promoting better health and preventing conditions related to acid imbalance.
- Antioxidant Properties:
Kangen Water is also known for its antioxidant properties. The water is believed to have a negative oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), which means it has the potential to neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress in the body.
- Ionization:
Kangen Water is created using a water ionizer that splits water into alkaline and acidic components. The alkaline water is consumed for health benefits, while the acidic water can be used for cleaning purposes, personal care, and disinfecting.
- Hydration:
Due to its smaller water molecule clusters, Kangen Water is said to be absorbed more efficiently by the body, improving hydration.
- Versatility:
Kangen Water machines allow users to adjust the pH level of water for different purposes:
- 8.5-9.5 pH: Drinking water
- 6.0-6.5 pH: Beauty water for skincare
- 11.0 pH: For cleaning and degreasing
- 4.0-5.0 pH: Acidic water for disinfecting or beauty purposes.
Health Benefits:
While there are claims that Kangen Water can offer various health benefits, including improved digestion, detoxification, and enhanced athletic performance, scientific evidence on the benefits of alkaline water like Kangen Water is still limited. However, many users report feeling more energized and hydrated.
How It’s Made:
A Kangen Water machine (like the Enagic K8, SD501, or LeveLuk models) is used to filter tap water and then ionize it, using a process called electrolysis to split the water into alkaline and acidic components.
Popularity:
Kangen Water has gained popularity among health enthusiasts and those looking for natural ways to improve hydration and overall well-being. It’s often sold through direct sales and multi-level marketing (MLM), which means that people become distributors of the product.
