What Is Structured Water?

Structured water, also known as hexagonal water, refers to water where the molecules form a hexagonal cluster. Structured water shares similarities with pure water that is uncontaminated by human processes. Pure water comes from natural and unpolluted sources like mountain springs and glacier melts.

It is believed that water can be altered to form structured water, where it returns to its natural spring water frequency state. Structured water contains important antioxidants and plays an essential role in the functioning of cells in the body.

What Is Alkaline Water?

The pH level of alkaline water is higher than that of regular drinking water. It is believed that alkaline water can neutralize the acid in the human body and reduce the risk of conditions like cancer and heart disease. Standard drinking water has a neutral pH level of 7, whereas alkaline water ranges between 8 and 9.

Differences Between Structured Water and Alkaline Water

Just like structured water can be created through vortexing or various other methods, alkaline water needs to be specially formulated as well, which is done through remineralization. In nature, this occurs naturally when water filters through the layers of the earth. However, alkaline water can be created through the addition of minerals that raise the alkalinity of the water. Alkaline water and structured water are believed to have many of the same health benefits, including strengthening immunity, greater levels of energy, increased absorption and hydration, and a better sense of wellbeing.

There are no known negative side effects of structured water and it is considered safe and beneficial for human consumption. Drinking alkaline water is also considered safe with no adverse effects unless you have kidney disease. In some people, the higher pH could cause dry or itchy skin in rare cases.
