Published Research and Expert Testimony Supports the Use of Ionized Alkaline Water

The health benefits of ionized alkaline water have been recognized by doctors in Japan for over 30 years, and they continue to be supported by credible scientific research and expert medical testimony. Ionized alkaline water is often referred to as “electrolyzed reduced water” (ERW) or “hydrogen rich water” in medical journals.
