Frequently Ask Questions

How do I begin drinking Kangen water?

We recommend to begin by setting a low pH level (pH8.5) for a week or so , and gradually adjust to the higher pH level (pH9-9.5) based on your bodily needs and physical condition.

How much Kangen water should I consume?

In order for Kangen water to be beneficial to your health, we recommend to drink 2-4 liters daily, ideally 30min before your meals. It is better to drink fresh kangen water right from the machine when its deoxidation potential is highest. However, you can also take a bottle of Kangen water with you when going outside.

Does Kangen water cause any side-effects?

Kangen water is clinically tested for the last 40 years in Japan and more than 400,000 families have purchased such devices in 2003. Kangen water has no side effects. Some people experience a light headache. When these happen, simply cut back the amount and lower the pH level and proceed slowly.

Can Kangen water be used to take medication?

The effectiveness of taking medication with Kangen water has not yet been fully tested. The pH level of stomach acid is about 1.8pH, and medication is prescribed in accordance to this pH level in order for it to take effect past the stomach. Therefore, to ensure full effect of the medication, we recommend to use the clean water and leave some time ( about 30 minutes) between taking the medication and drinking Kangen water.

Hospitals sometimes give us a surprising amount of medicine. In recent decades, a large number of medicines have been developed, and many of them are effective in combating disease which used to be incurable or used to require operations. However, we should recognize that most medicines may have side effects, because by nature medicines are foreign substances in our bodies, and are potentially poisonous depending on the amount we take. According to a medical report on side effects of medicine, side effects appear in 5% or fewer cases when one kind of medicine is taken, but side effects appear 50% of the time when four kinds of medicine are taken together. Food may also alter the effects of medicines taken. For example, a kind of natto (fermented soybeans) contains high amounts of vitamin K, but when eaten while taking an antithrombotic (Warfarin), it coagulates the blood. As for Kangen water, we recommend that you drink it on an empty stomach in order to enhance its absorption in the gastrointestinal system, and you should not drink it when taking medicine

What are the six elements that make Kangen Water unique?
Hydrogen Density, Micro Cluster, Dissolved Hydrogen, Minerals, Oxidation Reduction Potential and Dissolved Oxygen.

Are all ionized water the same, what are the best and why?
No, not all ionized water are the same. The best are the Leveluk Series. They are Continuous Ionized Electrolysis 5 in 1 Water Generators, manufactured in Japan. These are the only units, out of 48 brands, that are approved as a Medical Device by the Japanese Ministry of Labor & Welfare, Grand Prize Winner for Outsanding Achievement in the Environment Sciences and for "Four Steps to Absolute Peace" project, awarded by IEEU & IEER, founded by Prof. Dr. Linus Carl Pauling, Nobel Prize Winner for Chemistry and for Peace, in New York, April, 2004.

What is Kangen water and how is alkalized water different from other water?
Kangen means return to original. It is good, healthy, quality and safe water that has been cleaned from chlorine and other chemical compounds, which has had any oxidized compounds neutralized with active hydrogen. Alkaline ionized water is the water with ample hydrogenated ions with alkaline ph. Kangen water has more hydrogeneted ions than common alkalized water, thereby making it especially effective anti-oxidant (active oxygen neutralizer).
