How to Make Alkaline Water and Fast!

Is the water your drinking acidic? It most likely is as we have tested rainwater, tap water and bottled water and most we looked at had a pH lower than seven (alkaline).

It’s super simple to make water alkaline with the right ingredient, you’ll need:

  • Activated Silica Drops
  • 1 litre Water bottle
  • Or use a 250ml glass of water
  • The best/cleanest water you can get

Simply add 4 drops of Activated Silica to a glass of water or add 10-12 drops into your litre water bottle. Yep, that’s it! You’ll be done in seconds. So it’s nice to be able to alkalizes water when you need it, but is it any good

Are there benefits of alkaline water?

In some cases it could be beneficial, researchers have looked at the benefits of pH alkaline water in regards to potentially helping people with reflux?

They looked at spring water that had a pH of 8.8 and found that it able to buffer gastric hydrochloric acid. (Nikki Johnston, The Annals of otology, rhinology, and laryngologyJuly 2012) . This was further supported by a 2017 study suggesting that consuming alkaline water and change of diet is beneficial to support acid reflux. (Zalvan, et al, AMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2017)

Another 2017 study looked at the effects of mineralised alkaline water on the hydration status of athletes. The authors conclude “Drinking alkaline water in amounts of 4.0 l per day shows a positive effect on hydration status after anaerobic exercise with a significant decrease of specific urine gravity” and may also have a positive effect on urine pH too and may influence acid balance. (Chycki, et al, Biology of Sport, Vol 34, No3, 2017)
