    Drink Up—but Choose Your Water Wisely

    Not all bottled water is created equal. Alkame Water is a specialized alkaline water that has immune system-boosting capabilites and antioxidants to fight free radicals.

    Bottled water is big business.

    In fact, billions of dollars are now spent on a product that we used to get for free from the tap, and is second only to soda in popularity in the U.S., according to analysts.

    Yet, not all bottled water is created equal. Most brands of bottled water can come from any source.

    There is, however, a new brand of water that is distancing itself from its counterparts by offering something other than a traditional thirst quencher. Alkame Water has mild alkaline properties designed to promote effective hydration by supporting the body's optimum pH levels, providing antioxidant benefits as well as improving energy levels and overall health.

    Through its patented formula involving a micro-cluster molecular structure, Alkame Water's design not only supports its distinctive alkalinity, but allows for high levels of stabilized, dissolved oxygen. Oxygenated water has been associated with improved aerobic capacity, fortifying the body's immune system and reducing the impact of stress on the body caused by free radicals—highly reactive molecules that are thought to play a role in the development of cancers and other diseases, as well as accelerate the aging process.

    Moreover, data from scientific studies of the effects of electrolyzed alkaline water show an association between consumption of this type of water and health benefits. In one study, participants in an outpatient pulmonary rehab program who were randomized to drink electrolyzed alkaline water improved in exercise tolerance after 12 weeks, compared with those who drank plain water.

    Another study found that HIV patients undergoing antiretroviral therapy who consumed electrolyzed alkaline water on a daily basis improved their immune systems after 30 days, compared with those patients who drank plain tap water.

    Results of additional tests of Alkame Water suggest that it sustains its alkaline, antioxidant and oxygenation properties for a full year of shelf life, which makes it a practical choice for home or office use. Alkame Water comes in bottles that are BPA-free and 100 percent recyclable.
