Did you know most of the beverages you consume in your daily life are oxidants? Every sip that you’re taking from your coffee or favourite drink is compromising your health and accelerating the aging effects. One of the methods scientists use to measure antioxidants in liquids is through “Oxidation Reduction Potential” better known as O.R.P.
Healthy Alkaline Levels
Here’s how alkaline levels affect your health: pH allows scientists to measure if things are acidicalkaline (healthy). A lot of ailments such as diabetes, cancer and even obesity thrive in acidic environments. The more acidic your body is the more likely you’ll have a hard time living a healthy life. Most of the foods and drinks we enjoy (meats, junk food, alcohol) are acidic. (harmful) or
If you cut down on the harmful foods and consume more healthy foods you could turn your health around. Unfortunately, with our modern lifestyles that option is difficult to achieve. That’s why water is so effective since our bodies are roughly 70% comprised of it. Fill your body with a high dose of alkaline and get healthy.
Acidity and disease A lot of diseases such as diabetes, arthritis and cancer thrive in acidic environments. This means the more acidic your body is the more vulnerable it is to ailments. It doesn’t help that most of foods and drinks we enjoy such as meats, junk food, and alcohol are acidic.
Alkalinity and healthy bodies Balancing out the acidic foods we eat is the key to healthy disease free bodies. Most fruits and vegetables are alkaline and having more of these foods will offset the acidity level in your body. Eating right is obvious to being healthy, but unfortunately, with our modern lifestyles, that option is highly unlikely to stick.
Alkaline Water The answer to balancing acidity in your body and feeling great is alkaline water. Our bodies roughly 70% comprised of fluids. What makes more sense? Drinking water or changing your diet (to fruits and vegetables)?
Alkaline water will neutralize the acidity in your body and bring it back to its healthy balance. Becoming healthy is easy. Simply drink alkaline water.
Introducing the AlkaStream, the water filter that turns your ordinary tap water into an ocean of antioxidants. The fresh water you receive is safe and chemical-free. Unlike many other water filters, the AlkaStream’s advanced filtration system removes virtually all of the harmful chemicals while keeping in all the nourishing minerals.
In a special laboratory created ‘witches’ brew’ of pesticides, volatile organics, fluoride chlorine, and minerals, the AlkaStream changed a pH of 6.5 to an output pH 9.5. Please be aware that pH output is always dependent upon the mineral makeup of the input water. However the advantage of the AlkaStream is that in areas of hard water with excessive levels of alkaline minerals, it will reduce these minerals and then re-infuse the water with lower, healthier levels of alkaline minerals (as well as micro clustering and ionizing the water).
The alkaStream was designed like a recipe. Each component by itself is good, but when they are combined together with the correct proportions and a little love, the final product is enormously better. Like Grandma’s kitchen.
As you scroll down the page, you’ll find what the ingredients look like, why they were selected and what they do. At the very bottom you’ll find a cross-section view of the canister so you can see how it all fits together. It turns out making nutritious water isn’t hard… it just takes the right recipe.
Oh… before we get started, we need to talk about safety. A non-profit organization named NSF, who isn’t influenced by commercial interests, is one of a few authorities on the safety of water systems across the US. Our ingredients have been approved by them, which means each batch we use is checked by them.
You can drink as much alkaStream water as you want.
The Ingredients
AlkaStream’s unique water is created through 8 layers of filtration and energizing media working together. The water is forced in from the bottom of the canister and up through the various layers.
We’ll start at the bottom and work our way up. Just like the water.
1.Ceramic Filter Membrane – This is the first layer the water encounters. It stops the sediment, the floaties and things you can’t see, like bacteria, from getting through. Anything 0.2 microns (which is microscopically small) and larger is kept out of your glass. This is the piece you’ll clean every month and where you’ll get a close up view of how much junk is in our water. This component is from Asia… where they do amazing things with ceramic.
2.Ion Exchange Resin – This looks and feels a bit like the yeast used when making bread. In the alkaStream, the purpose is 2 fold. Most of the US has fairly hard water and we need to soften it up a bit so it’s easier to improve. We also needed an effective way to neutralize fluoride…a ridiculously difficult toxin to get rid of. This resin does both, and while it’s not cheap, it’s very effective. We source this from the US.
3.Catalytic Centaur Carbon – There is a scale used when evaluating carbon filters. The activated charcoal stuff you find in big box retailers is at the bottom. It doesn’t last very long and really only reduces chlorine. Because of the never-ending evolution of toxins added to our water, they miss a bunch. The cream of the crop is this type of catalytic carbon. It’s 8x more absorbent than activated and it’s effective with the widest range of volatile contaminants, colors, tastes, odors, pesticides, chlorine, chloramines and their cancer causing creations like THMs. We don’t need a ton to be effective which means we can keep the canister small and sleek. Again, this is produced in the US.
4.KDF, Magnesium and Catalytic Carbon - This layer, halfway up the canister, begins the transformation from filtration to energizing. KDF is the best way to remove heavy metals such as lead and mercury. We also add another layer of carbon to keep pulling out anything that may have gotten past the first layer. Now that the water is super clean, we start dressing it up the way it was meant to be. This first layer of Magnesium reacts with the water and creates what’s known as free hydrogen. The most primitive antioxidant every discovered. This is where the water begins to take on the hydration and antioxidant properties. KDF and Carbon again are from the US, the Magnesium comes again from Asia…where they have been using it for this purpose for a long, long time.
5.Energizing Media – This entire layer is full of Magnesium. The sole purpose is to create as much antioxidant goodness and beneficial hydrating qualities as possible.
6.Trace Minerals and Far Infrared Ceramics - In this stage we do 2 things. First we add the trace minerals using coral calcium beads. Those beads provide over 70 beneficial trace elements and produce a water with the perfect pH balance. The far-infrared ceramics are used to further improve the hydrating qualities of the water. Each of these is sourced again from Asia, where they have been using them for decades.
7.Catalytic Carbon and KDF – A small layer to polish the final taste and remove any unwanted non-beneficial trace elements.
8.Neodymium Magnetic Field – This final stage is all about hydration. We use a magnet about the size of a silver dollar, but formed like a donut. The clean, mineral rich, antioxidant water is forced through a small hole in the middle of the magnet to quickly stabilize the negative electrical charge and reduce the molecular size. You can’t tell by looking, you can’t tell by tasting, but you can tell by the way it feels going down.
The Final Product
This is what it looks like when it’s all put together…if you had x-ray glasses.
AlkaStream’s unique water is created through 8 layers of filtration and energising media working synergistically. The process is based off of scientifically proven research by Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, Director of the Water Institute of Japan. For a full breakdown of each layer and their functions please see below:
8.Neodymium Magnenetic Field to stabilize the IONIC charge and reduced molecular size.
7.Catalytic Carbon and KDF to improve final taste and remove unwanted non-beneficial trace elements.
6.Trace Minerals and Far Infrared ceramics adds more than 70 beneficial trace elements.
5.Energizing Media creates anti-oxidants and reduces the size of water molecules thereby increasing hydration.
4.KDF and Magnesium in an activated carbon media removes heavy metals such as lead and mercury and creates free hydrogen.
2.Ion Exchange Media (NSF approved) reduces hard water and neutralizes fluoride. NSF is a non-profit organization which promotes and supports research and education in the sciences.
1.Ceramic Filter Membrane stops all sediment, and bacteria over 0.2 micron in size.
