Discover the Life-Changing Power of Alkaline Water with Next Generation Water Ionizer

Alkaline ionized water was approved under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law in Japan for improvement of gastrointestinal symptoms such as chronic diarrhea,hyperacidity control, indigestion, and abnormal fermentation in stomach and intestines.

Although there are clinical facilities that are using alkaline ionized water for the purpose of treatment of diabetes or atopic dermatitis, such beneficial effects have not been approved. 

How to drink alkaline ionized water

 When you drink alkaline ionized water for the first time, set the pH around 8 to 8.5 and start with drinking a cup of the water in order to get your physical conditions used to it.

After about 2 weeks, gradually increase the pH and/or the drinking amount depending on your physical condition. 

Continuous drinking of 500ml to 1 liter per day was scientifically demonstrated to be satisfactory to get the effects of the water. 

For direct drinking, we suggest drinking of the fresh alkaline ionized water with pH ranging from 8.5 to 9.5.

For children or elderly people, alkaline ionized water with low pH (around pH8 to 8.5) should be used at first, and as they become accustomed to it the pH value may be gradually increased. 

In addition, for neonates (up to around 1 year old), since they drink mother’s milk or milk, their intestinal movements are different from those of adults and so alkaline ionized water is not recommended. 

However, when they start eating the same foods as adults, there would be no problems basically for them to drink alkaline ionized water. 

For babies or neonates, we do not recommend alkaline ionized water since their intestinal movements are different from those of normal adults.

 No reports of specific problems concerning this matter have been made so far. However, if there are any symptoms, please consult your doctor.

 When consulting your doctor, please tell your doctor the following 3 points regarding alkaline ionized water: 

1. Improvement effects against gastrointestinal symptoms (chronic diarrhea, indigestion, abnormal fermentation in stomach and intestines, acid control, and acid indigestion) have been approved for alkaline ionized water. 
2. It is a weakly alkaline water obtained by electrolysis. 
3. The contents of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, etc. are higher than those of tap water.

Unlike acid-control medicines, the acid controlling capability of alkaline ionized water is extremely mild so that it is hard for the water to neutralize stomach acids to cause harmful effects. 

Alkaline ionized water does not show any immediate effect but a protective slow effect by continuing constant drinking. In addition, there have been so far no reports of physical problems occurring when it was drunk by a healthy person.

For drinking down medicines, purified water should be used. Since alkaline ionized water itself has approved beneficial effects, its use with other medicines should be avoided.

Normally, aluminum products have undergone aluminum processing (anti-corrosion treatment). If the aluminum processed has worn off for some reason, the aluminum substrate becomes exposed and discolorates. 

When alkaline ionized water is used with aluminum containers of which aluminum substrate is exposed, precipitation of white aluminum hydroxide may occur. In some cases, the containers may become spotty.

 When the aluminum hydroxide is heated, an oxidized aluminum membrane may be formed and become black. (This phenomenon also occurs with tap water, but the alkalinity tends to make the process progress more quickly).

 Since the blackened area is an oxidized aluminum membrane, the aluminum containers can be used as ever without problem.. However, since holes may be formed in the exposed aluminum substrate, we recommend using containers made of a different material (e.g. stainless steel).

The white substance stuck to the bottom is mostly calcium components that come from tap water. The same phenomena may occur even when intact tap water is used, although the formation of the precipitated substance is more remarkable with alkaline ionized water because it has markedly higher content of minerals such as calcium.. 

The calcium components stuck can be removed using citric acid (food additive available at pharmacies) or a commercial pot cleaner. 

When the cleaner t is used, please follow the instruction manual. Periodical cleaning is recommendable. (This cannot be used for aluminum pots.) 

Alkaline ionized water apparatus produces alkaline ionized water at the cathode side and acidic ionized water at the anode side at the same time. The acidic ionized water has been known to have an astringent effect so that the water can be used for face-washing or washing dishes, etc.

Please note that disinfection effect on athlete's foot or injuries cannot be expected for acidic water.s foot or injuries are not approved for acidic water produced by alkaline ionized water apparatus.

Please be careful of the following 2 points:

1. Persons with delicate or allergic skin should consult their doctor or pharmacist before using acidic ionized water.
2. If your skin feels abnormal when acidic water is used, stop using immediately and consult your doctor.

 What is the difference between acidic ionized water and “strongly acidic electrolytic water” which is used for disinfection? 

"Strongly acidic electrolyzed water" is acidic (pH <2.7 or lower) aqueous solution containing hypochlorous acid which is electrolytically generated from a dilute (<0.2%) saline solution (sodium chloride with purity of 99% or higher) by a specific type of electrolysis apparatus.

Strongly acidic electrolyzed water was developed in Japan in the late 1980's as disinfectant water. Strongly acidic electrolyzed water-producing apparatus was approved as a medical device for "hand-washing upon surgery" in 1996 and for "antiseptic washing and disinfection of endoscopes" in 1997. 

Acidic ionized water and strongly acidic electrolyzed water are different from each other in terms of the electrolysis condition, properties and beneficial effects.
