Electrolyzed Reduced Water (ERW) is healthy and delicious water produced by a water ionizer. These devices produce alkaline and acidic waters through electrolysis and can be used for various purposes, including drinking, cooking, cleaning, and beauty.
The ionization process electrocutes the water which separates the molecules, allowing the water to be absorbed quickly while supersaturating every cell with alkalinity and powerful antioxidants, such as molecular hydrogen (the strongest antioxidant and anti-inflammatory in the universe).
The medical grade water ionizer consists of thick titanium electrode plates that are dipped in surgical grade platinum. These plates are located in the electrolysis chamber and run the water through a process called electrolysis, which breaks the water up into ionized alkaline water and acidic water.
The machine produces 5 different types of water:
Strong Alkaline (11.5pH) for cleaning, washing clothing, stain removal, degreasing, removing chemicals from produce, and more.
Kangen Drinking Water (8.5pH, 9.0pH, 9.5pH) for drinking and food preparation.
Clean/Neutral Water (7.0pH) for taking medication and making baby formula.
Beauty Water (6.0pH) for skin, hair and more.
Strong Acidic (2.5pH) for sanitizing, killing bacteria and germs off of produce, mouthwash, and more.
How did we discover Electrolyzed Reduced Water?
Did you know, lightning strikes Earth approximately 8 million times per day? When that lightning strikes, it ionizes the air, soil, and water. It produces negative ions which can increase the flow of oxygen to the brain, increase serotonin levels, relieve stress, boost energy, and more. In that same process of lightning striking the earth, the process restructures glacial and spring water to produce 3 critical properties that are essential to our health, yet absent from all tap and bottled waters.
The 3 properties are :
Molecular Hydrogen – Best source of Antioxidants & Anti-Inflammatories
Alkalized Minerals - Necessary for healthy pH balance
Negative Electrical Charge - Imitating lightning strikes (Ionizer uses Electrolysis)
The important thing to note is these properties are only biologically active for up to 3 days, which is why we refer to it as “living” water. There are few remaining natural sources of properly structured water – Glacial Water, Spring Water, Medical Grade Ionized Water (ERW) – All other waters are lacking these biologically active properties. This technology imitates the lightning using electrolysis to restructure tap water to have these exact same properties as in nature. This creates living water that your body needs to truly thrive.
Now, many people will ask “Can I drink this with ______ sickness or disease.” This water is for EVERYONE because it is water at its most natural and abundant state. We are not made to get all of our antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, minerals, etc. from just food.
Science refers to ionized water as Electrolyzed Reduced Water (ERW).
There are over 300 independent studies on ERW water found on PubMed and National Institutes of Health showing the cellular benefit of ERW - find out more here or read on to see the studies below.
History of Hydrogen-Rich Water
Click to Watch
Scientists have been studying the ionization of water since the 1950’s but it wasn’t until 1974 that a Japanese company was able to perfect the technology and create the first ionizer for use in hospitals. In 1990, they created the first model for in-home use.

Hypochlorous Acid Links - (2.5ph Strong Acidic Water)
Evaluation of sprayed hypochlorous acid solutions - Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) solutions were evaluated for their virucidal ability against a low pathogenic avian influenza virus (AIV), H7N1. HOCl solutions containing 50, 100 and 200 ppm chlorine (pH 6) or their sprayed solutions (harvested in dishes placed at 1 or 30 cm distance between the spray nozzle and dish) were mixed with the virus with or without organic materials
Hypochlorous acid: harnessing nature’s germ killer - Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is the perfect weapon to fight germs. It hits hard against pathogens like Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus and Pseudomonas Aeroginosa. Yet this powerful weapon is 100 percent safe for humans, chemical free, non-toxic and all-natural. That’s an impressive combination. It has been used in the medical field for over a century. Before antibiotics were available, HOCl was used to irrigate and disinfect wounds in World War I.
What is HOCI? - When salt water is electrolyzed, it produces an anolyte solution that consists of >99.3% water, chloride salt and Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl). HOCl is a naturally occurring chemical that is produced by our neutrophils, or white blood cells, to fight bacteria and inflammation after an infection or trauma. HOCl provides a unique power to eradicate dangerous organisms while not causing harm to our cells. HOCl is one of the only agents that is both nontoxic to the delicate cells that can heal our wounds while being lethal to almost all known dangerous bacteria and viruses that threaten our health.
Chemical Disinfectants - Hypochlorites, the most widely used of the chlorine disinfectants, are available as liquid (e.g., sodium hypochlorite) or solid (e.g., calcium hypochlorite). The most prevalent chlorine products in the United States are aqueous solutions of 5.25%–6.15% sodium hypochlorite (see glossary), usually called household bleach. They have a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity, do not leave toxic residues, are unaffected by water hardness, are inexpensive and fast acting 328, remove dried or fixed organisms and biofilms from surfaces465, and have a low incidence of serious toxicity 515-517. Sodium hypochlorite at the concentration used in household bleach (5.25-6.15%)

The Neuro-Protective effects of electrolyzed reduced water
Human brain is the biggest energy consuming tissue in human body. Although it only represents 2% of the body weight, it receives 20% of total body oxygen consumption and 25% of total body glucose utilization. For that reason, brain is considered to be the most vulnerable part of human body against the reactive oxygen species (ROS), a by-product of aerobic respiration.
Electrolyzed water and its application in the food industry.
Electrolyzed water (EW) is gaining popularity as a sanitizer in the food industries of many countries. By electrolysis, a dilute sodium chloride solution dissociates into acidic electrolyzed water (AEW), which has a pH of 2 to 3, an oxidation-reduction potential of >1,100 mV, and an active chlorine content of 10 to 90 ppm, and basic electrolyzed water (BEW), which has a pH of 10 to 13 and an oxidation-reduction potential of -800 to -900 mV. Vegetative cells of various bacteria in suspension were generally reduced by > 6.0 log CFU/ml when AEW was used.
