Upgrade Your Water, Elevate Your Life

The state of the water does change when the water is heated or chilled. When heated, the ORP and pH changes. When chilled, the ORP will change but the pH will remain the same for up to a week based on the quality of water.

Kangen Water is intended for everyday drinking and cooking rather than for drinking with medication. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare gives the following directions:

1. Do not take medication with machine-produced water.

2. Do not drink machine-produced water if you have anaciditas.

3. Seek help from a doctor or pharmacist if you feel an abnormality in the body, or continued intake does not appear to improve symptoms. This is because the effectiveness of medication using Kangen Water has not yet been tested. The pH level of stomach acids is about 1.8pH, and medication is prescribed in accordance with this pH level in order for it to take effect past the stomach. Therefore, to ensure full effect of the medication, we recommend leaving some time between taking the medication and drinking Kangen Water

Depending on how it is consumed, and on the individual’s physical state, it is possible (although uncommon) to experience constipation or diarrhoea a few days to a few weeks after first starting to drink it. In herbal terms, this is known as the Mengen effect1. The two conditions are particularly similar in that both cases, the remedy is so effective that it has a negative effect. If this occurs, the amount of intake should be reduced to half or a fourth of the previous amount until symptoms clear. Once symptoms have subsided, it is okay to resume intake. However, increasing the amount of intake will not alleviate the symptoms. Since halting intake completely may also affect the body, it is best to continue intake, but in lesser amounts. If there are no signs of improvement, please consult a doctor or pharmacist.

Mengen effect – Your body may start hurting several hours or a day after you receive chiropractic. The technical term for this is the Mengen effect. It is a natural physical response, where the body tries to go back to normal after muscles and bones have been adjusted.

There are no set rules regarding how to drink Kangen Water or how much to consume.

The oxidation reduction potential is the electrical potential needed to reduce or slow down oxidation such as rusting. Kangen Water must have a negative ORP in order to be considered good, especially for drinking.

ORP is the strength to bond with active oxygen reducing power, and can be measured through electronic designs in the hardware. Although a negative value is desirable for deoxidisation power, the actual value varies from region to region. For example, in Osaka city, tap water records an ORP of +580-600mV, but after using LeveLuk, the ORP becomes pH9.5 and records the ideal from -150mV to -400mV. When the original water supply’s ORP increases, the ORP of Kangen Water moves in direct proportion. On the Japanese archipelago, LeveLuk is capable of producing water with negative levels of ORP at pH9.5 even where original water supply marks the highest positive levels of ORP.

*Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) – Electrical potential needed to reduce or slow down rusting and decay (oxidisation). This process is also known as deoxidisation. ODR is measures in terms of negative mVs. The ideal ODR level for the human body is said to be between -150mV and -400mV.

*Active oxygen – Also known as free radicals. Medically it is known to enter the body when one’s daily rhythm of life or diet goes astray when under stress. It is the type of oxygen that causes illness and aging. Maintaining a daily rhythm will help keep this oxygen from entering your body!

The white fogginess apparent in Kangen Water is simply a result of hydrogen gas being released through electrolysis and does not pose a problem. If you rest the glass for a while the white fogginess should disappear.
