These devices utilize a specialized filtration system to purify tap water and then subject it to electrolysis, producing alkaline water rich in minerals. This process aims to enhance the water’s properties, creating what some believe to be a healthier and more hydrating beverage.
Proponents suggest potential advantages include improved hydration, antioxidant properties, and assistance with acid reflux. However, scientific consensus on these benefits remains limited, and further research is required. The technology behind electrolytic water alteration dates back several decades, primarily originating in Japan, and has since gained popularity worldwide as part of the broader wellness movement.
