1. Does Structured Water Taste Different?

Structured water with molecules in a hexagonal cluster pattern results in a soft and refreshing taste. While the flavor may be distinct because of its unique form, many people report it differently.

2. What Are the Best Sources of Structured Water?

The best sources of structured water are natural, with some devices that can mimic the processes involved in creating it. Here are the most important ones:

  • Natural Springs: Water from natural springs structured due to its natural filtration and mineral content.
  • Fresh Fruits and Vegetables: Produce like cucumbers, melons, and celery, naturally have structured water.
  • MAYU Structured Water Devices: Water retains its vibrancy and freshness by moving. The MAYU Water Swirl Carafe uses a natural vortex motion to aerate your tap, filtered, bottled, reverse osmosis water. It balances pH levels and reorganizes its molecules.


3. How Can I Make Structured Water at Home?

There are several methods to make structured water from the comfort of your home, such as:

  • Crystals like quartz which some believe this can positively influence the water’s structure
  • Funnels to create a vortex which can help mimic the natural movement of water.
  • Copper plates that remove impurities and restore water it to its natural, structured state
  • Infrared or UV light for reorganizing the molecular patterns into structured clusters.

4. How Long Does Water Stay Structured?

The duration that water remains structured varies, with some experts saying it lasts for several hours and even days. Just how long the pattern of molecules remains intact depends on storage conditions.

For example, temperature, electromagnetic fields, and type of container can all affect its stability. To preserve its state for as long as possible, you can keep the water in a cool environment using a glass container.

5. Can I Boil Structured Water?

The heat from boiling increases molecular movement, breaking the organized clusters back into a more random arrangement similar to regular water. The process reduces its supposed benefits and unique properties.

6. Does Freezing Affect Structured Water?

While some believe structured water can retain some benefits after freezing, some of its unique properties may be compromised.

The process affects the molecular arrangement of structured water by forming a crystalline structure that may disrupt the organized clusters. Upon thawing, it may not return to its previous state.

7. Can I Store Structured Water in the Refrigerator?

Cooling the water can help it maintain its structured state longer. It slows the molecular movement and reduces the risk of the clusters breaking apart. It's best to store the water in a glass container while doing it, as the material helps preserve the water's properties better.

8. Does Structured Water Improve Plant Growth?

Some studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that the organized arrangement of molecules in structured water may boost plant growth. [1,2] It allows for better absorption of vitamins and minerals by plant cells, leading to improved root health. But, we need more scientific research to validate these claims fully.

9. Can Structured Water Be Used in Beauty Treatments?

Since structured water improves hydration, you can use it in beauty treatments. It may even boost the absorption of skincare products like mists, creams, and serums—promoting a youthful appearance.

One study showed that using t as mouthwash reduced levels of bacteria associated with tooth decay. However, it must be noted that this study was limited due to the lack of a control group. [3] While many people report positive effects, we need more scientific research to validate the effects.

10. Can I Use Structured Water for Cooking?

You can use structured water for cooking, but the high heat involved in cooking can disrupt its molecular arrangement, causing it to revert to a regular form. To preserve the benefits, it's better to use it in cold or room-temperature recipes like smoothies, salads, or other raw foods.
