Bottled Water

Ionized water typically refers to water that has undergone a process known as ionization or electrolysis, which involves altering the pH level and electrical charge of the water.

Here are some potential effects or characteristics associated with ionized water:

1. Altered pH Level: Ionized water is often marketed as having a higher pH level than regular water. The pH scale ranges from acidic (0-6), neutral (7), to alkaline (8-14). Some ionized water is claimed to be more alkaline, which some proponents believe may have health benefits. However, scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited.
2. Antioxidant Properties: Ionized water may contain antioxidant properties due to the presence of negatively charged ions called hydroxide ions. Proponents argue that these antioxidants can neutralize free radicals in the body, potentially providing health benefits. However, research on the health effects of ionized water is inconclusive.
3. Electrolyte Content: Ionized water may have altered mineral content, including electrolytes such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. This could potentially affect the taste and perceived health benefits of the water.
