Staying hydrated is crucial for good health. Our bodies need water to function at their best. It helps lubricate joints, regulate temperature, deliver nutrients, protect the spine, prevent infections, and keep organs working properly.

Being well-hydrated also improves cognition, sleep, and mood. Why? Beause when you’re dehydrated, your organs don’t get the nutrients they need. You end up wit dizziness, fatigue, and headaches.

But, not all water is created equal. Different types can help you stay hydrated more effectively. Let’s look at hydrogen and structured water.

What Is Structured Water?

Structured water has an altered structure, with its molecules forming a unique hexagonal cluster. You might be familiar with spring water or uncontaminated natural water found in glaciers—well, structured water is similar.

The chemical formula for structured water is H3O2, which has a more viscous texture. Structured water carries a charge, and thanks to the hexagonal clusters, it can deliver an electromagnetic charge to the mitochondria in your cells.

The cells in your body already carry structured water, so when you drink structured water, vitamins, and minerals are more effectively absorbed by your body's cells. It can be made from regular water, recharges your body, and hydrates it better than tap water.

Benefits of Structured Water

Structured water has the following health benefits:

  • Improves hydration
  • Supports a healthy immune system
  • Detoxifies the body
  • Improves digestion
  • Increases energy
  • Improves sleep quality

How to make structured water

You might be curious about how to get high-quality structured water—well, the good news is that achieving this is not only beneficial but also very easy to do at home.

You can turn regular water into structured with the help of Mayu Swirl. This nifty vortexing device uses a swirling motion to aerate the water, rejuvenating it while improving its taste and providing additional health benefits. Give structured water a try, and you might find it's the perfect way to boost your hydration and overall well-being.



What Is Hydrogen Water?

Hydrogen water is just like regular water, but with a twist—it has hydrogen gas added to it. While the chemical formula is still H2O, it contains dissolved hydrogen gas. Hydrogen water is made by bubbling pure hydrogen gas into the water or via a process called electrolysis. You can buy hydrogen water in stores or make your own with hydrogen water tablets.

Structured hydrogen water further refines this concept, combining the principles of structured water with added hydrogen molecules. This fusion aims to maximize hydration efficiency and potential health benefits.

Benefits of Hydrogen Water

Hydrogen-rich water is believed to have great health benefits, including:

  • It has antioxidant properties
  • It reduces chronic inflammation
  • It enhances athletic performance and recovery
  • Increases energy levels
  • Reduce signs of aging and promote skin health
  • Improves endothelial function and reduces cardiovascular risk

Hydrogen vs Structured: The Ultimate Hydration Battle Winner

Staying hydrated is crucial for overall health and well-being. While both hydrogen water and structured water offer unique benefits for hydration and health, structured water improves absorption and delivers an electromagnetic charge to cells.

Including structured water in your daily routine can help you maintain proper, cellular-level hydration and support your body's functions effectively.

There is often confusion between hydrogen water and structured water. While both claim to enhance hydration, they operate on different principles.

FAQs

Is hydrogen water the same as structured water?

There is often confusion between hydrogen water and structured water. While both claim to enhance hydration, they operate on different principles.

  • Structured water undergoes molecular restructuring for improved absorption
  • .Hydrogen water is infused with extra hydrogen molecules, purported to offer antioxidant benefits.

Is hydrogen really good for the body?

H2 gas or molecular hydrogen has been shown to reduce oxidative stress, reduce chronic inflammation, and improve cellular function, which are associated with the pathology and etiology of metabolic syndrome and its associated diseases.

Moreover, H2 gas dissolved in water has also been shown to have therapeutic and ergogenic effects.

Is spring water structured water?

Yes, spring water is often considered structured water due to its exposure to natural minerals and forces during its journey through the earth. This structure can potentially enhance its hydration properties.
