Rating Our Picks

F.A.Q.

Can alkaline water be used for cooking?

Yes, as a matter of fact, it is recommended for you to cook with alkaline water of a high pH as it not only helps greatly improve the way your meals taste but because it helps your body assimilate nutrients more readily. You should prepare your tea and coffee with it as well as there won’t be any chlorine taste and odor to deal with anymore.

Does it actually help with acne and rashes?

The highly acidic water produced by it can be used to kill the bacteria on your skin and keep it healthy. It also acts as a natural astringent, tightening the skin as it cleans it in order to help you look younger than ever. Best of all, there doesn’t exist the possibility for the acidic water produced to irritate your skin as some cosmetic products do.

Are there situations where alkaline water consumption is not indicated?

Yes, those who suffer from stomach cancer and achlorhydria should avoid consuming alkaline water. Other categories of people who should not consume it or only consume it under the guidance of a doctor include people who suffer from chronic diseases, children under 3 years old, and those who have liver and bowel disorders.
