Is structured water better than rain water?

Understanding the difference between structured water and rainwater is essential in defining which is better and why.

What is structured water?

Structured water is water that has undergone a process of restructuring. It is also known as hexagonal water because of its water molecules that form a hexagonal cluster. It has a chemical formula of H3O2, meaning it has three hydrogen atoms combined with two oxygen atoms—unlike the “normal” H2O formula that has two hydrogen and one oxygen atom.

Structured water is thicker, denser, and more viscous than normal water and can store and release energy. The molecules of structured water are believed to have a higher vibrational charge, which is more beneficial for the human body and results in increased hydration.

What is rainwater?

Rainwater, on the other hand, is a mixture. It is composed of water, i.e., it has H20 chemical formula, and dissolved substances such as minerals. However, this also means it contains whatever particulates and soluble gases from the atmosphere it encountered in its fall.

Even in regions considered pollution-free, it can still be slightly acidic due to the reaction between carbon dioxide, CO2, and water, forming carbonic acid. Moreover, when raindrops forms, each droplet collects particles, including traces of dust or airborne bacterium.

The word "structured" refers to the shape of a water molecule. All rainwater is structured, but it may be affected by the chemical pollution in the environment. While most rainwater is safe to drink, it would need to fall in a very unpolluted and clean area for it to be the same as structured water. They explained it very well in this post.

Even though all rainwater has a structure, it is still susceptible to being contaminated by chemical pollution if it is collected at a location that is too far from where it fell. It is true that the vast majority of rainwater is safe to drink, but this is only the case if it occurs in an area that is so pristine and free of pollution that it is on par with water that has been manufactured. Therefore structured water is better than rainwater.
