Q1. What is Ionization?

A1. Ionization is the process of converting liquids or particles wholly or partly into ions. It simply means gaining or losing an electron. During Ionization, positive minerals and negative minerals are segregated accordingly to give you Alkaline Ionized Antioxidant Water and Acidic Water. Alkaline Ionized Antioxidant Water is full of Hydroxyl ions (OH-) and Acidic Water is full of Hydrogen ions (H+).

Q2. What does Alkaline Ionized Antioxidant Water and Acidic Water mean?

A2. Water (H20) ionizes into hydrogen (H+) and hydroxyl (OH-) ions. When these ions are in equal proportions, the pH is a neutral 7. When there are more H+ ions than OH- ions, then the water is said to be acidic. If OH- ions outnumber the H+ ions, then the water is alkaline.

Q3. What is pH and why is a balanced body pH very vital for health?

A3. PH is the quantitative measurement of acidity or alkalinity of a substance or solution. The pH scale is based on the number of hydrogen ions in the solution and runs from 0 to 14. Ordinary tap water with an equal amount of hydrogen ions and hydroxyl ions is measured as neutral or having a pH of 7. Acid solution is below pH7 while pH above that is alkaline.

The reason why pH is so important for health is that living cells are ultra-sensitive to any changes in pH. The pH of blood must be maintained within a very narrow range, from 7.35 to 7.45; variances in anything more than a few tenths will most likely result in death. Cancer cells live in an acidic environment while healthy cells in alkaline environment.

The acidic foods and beverages we consume daily affect the body's pH, so do the environment contaminants in the air we breathe and toxins that result from the agricultural practices. In fact, the pH balance in our diets is a largely overlooked issue in today's health, fitness, and our physical energy.

The proportion of acid minerals relative to alkaline minerals is the major factor we use to understand what is happening internally within our body. Body chemistry has a delicate range between pH 6.8 to 7.4 for proper maintenance of health. The pH range internally is necessary for the whole body to function well physically, emotionally, and mentally.

A person who has properly balanced pH will be happy, content, free from body aches and muscle cramps. They will enjoy being emotionally stable and mentally clear. The results are extraordinary because the tissues will exist in their natural and optimal alkaline environment, conducive for health.

Q4. Can this really help cure sicknesses? E.g cancer, eczema, high blood pressure, gout, etc.

Q4. We do NOT claim that this water will cure sicknesses. However, through clinical studies and endorsements, we do take the stand this water is able to improve medical conditions. However, there are various mitigating factors such as severity of condition, presence of medications, genetics as well as lifestyle habits.

About Alkaline Ionized Water

Q5. Why should I drink Alkaline Ionized Antioxidant Water?

A5. Alkaline Ionized Antioxidant Water gives you an abundance of anti-oxidants to reduce cell damages and helps to restore your pH balance in your body.

It also contains an abundance of ionic minerals, such as Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium and Sodium that are essential for cellular functions. The water is high in oxygen and is a powerful solvent to neutralize uric acids, cholesterol and acidic toxic wastes and flushes them out from the body. It hydrates your body 3 times more than any water and also helps to restore your body pH balance and gives you plenty of energy!

Q6. Is it safe to drink alkaline water everyday? Can I be too alkaline?

A6. Yes it is safe to drink alkaline water everyday and while it is possible to be too alkaline (only in controlled or laboratory settings), generally, our bodies tend towards acidity. Also, because the minerals are in ionic form, it means that our blood which is also the waste transport system will be able to quickly remove the excess alkaline minerals and regulate our body pH.

Q7. Can I don’t have the acidic water but only the alkaline water?

A7. There are only 2 ways to obtain alkaline water. The first way would be to obtain the water through ionization (electrolysis), which is the method that our ionizer uses. The second method would be to use chemical compounds to convert normal tap water into alkaline water.

This method however is harmful in the long run because bicarbonates will produce stones in the body. Also, it would seem somewhat contradictory to have a filter to remove out chemicals and sediments but at the end still introduce a chemical to make the water alkaline

Q8. How do you obtain the alkaline water?

A8. To obtain the alkaline water, our units use ONLY platinum coated, titanium plates, which are the finest materials to perform ionization and the newer series of models use the WIRE MESHED platinum-titanium electrodes that can produces over 20% better in terms of quality. Platinum-titanium are also the only materials that the Ministry of Health and Welfare, Korea endorse.

Ionization is the process of converting liquids or particles wholly or partly into ions. It simply means gaining or losing an electron. During Ionization, positive minerals and negative minerals are segregated accordingly to give you Alkaline Antioxidant Water (AAW) and Acidic Water. Alkaline Antioxidant Water (AAW) is full of Hydroxyl ions (OH-) and Acidic Water is full of Hydrogen ions (H+).

Q9. What are Antioxidants and why do we need them?

A9. Oxidation means to decay or age. It results from regular function of metabolism and cell function. In the human body, oxidation is caused by free radical damage. Free radicals that exist in our body grab an electron from one of our cells to become stable and in the process damage the DNA of the cell so that when it divides, the new cell carries the mutant DNA that in turn passes along to the next cell when it divides. This is the cause of many diseases and it is also part of what makes us age. As we age, our body’s ORP becomes higher because we are oxidizing.

Researchers almost universally blame oxidation for premature aging and degenerative diseases. Pollution, chemicals, food additives, pesticides, antibiotics, etc. are thought to dramatically accelerate the oxidation process, increasing the need for anti-oxidants. Many people are turning to supplements to increase the intake of anti-oxidants. However, the water you drink also contributes to the effect of the anti-oxidants supplements you take.

JUPITER Alkaline Ionized Antioxidant Water has a Negative Oxidation Reduction Potential (-ORP) therefore it offsets the higher ORP of our body as we are aging. Thus, we counteract the aging process by putting a negatively charged water which somewhat dampens the ever-rising ORP of our oxidizing body. By installing a unit of JUPITER Water Ionizer, you can have a continuous flow of antioxidants in your own home and for everyone in the family to enjoy the same!

JUPITER Alkaline Ionized Antioxidant Water gives you an abundance of antioxidants to remove free radicals from your body. With its smallest cluster of water and the abundance of negative charged electrons (-ORP), it permeates into body cells readily to reduce free radicals into harmless water. It is the ONLY Water that has the ANTI-OXIDATION properties to protect the body cells from damaging oxidation of "free radicals" and boost up the body's immune system.

Q10. Who should drink Alkaline Ionized Antioxidant Water?

A10. Everyone, young and old, pets and animals, can drink Alkaline Ionized Antioxidant Water. It is safe for baby as well. The tremendous amount of oxygen in the water helps the baby’s body function efficiently. Treat it as your normal drinking water. The only difference is that this water helps to hydrate your body faster and gives you many health benefits and plenty of energy!

Q11. How should I start drinking it?

A11. We recommend that you start at Level 1 for about 2-4 weeks and gradually increase to Level 2, 3 or 4 according to your desire and health condition.

The strength of the Alkaline/Acidic water is stronger at the higher level. The antioxidant is most powerful on the higher levels as well. Detoxification can be STRONG at higher levels. Take your time to increase the strength gradually according to individual preference and health condition.

Q12. What do I expect after starting to drink Alkaline Ionized Antioxidant Water?

A12. It is possible that you will notice differences in bowel habits during the first few days at any level. Urine frequency may increase and color may darken as more water is consumed and impurities discharge from the body. If you have gastric or indigestion problems, you might encounter "bloated feeling" or "burp" frequently. You might want to go slower during the first few days and increase your intake gradually if the discomfort bothers you.

For those who have liver problems or on long-term medication, you might experience some skin rashes or outbreak. You might also encounter diarrhea during the first few days of drinking if you have serious constipation or abnormal fermentation in the intestine. This is the cleansing process and once it is over, you will feel better.

The aforesaid are just some of the detoxification processes you might experience during the initial period. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact your nearest Dealer for further assistance and advice.

Q13. How long can I store the Alkaline Ionized Antioxidant Water?

A13. For best effect, try to drink directly from the machine. However, if you need to store the water, try to collect the water daily to maximize the benefits derived from the Alkaline Ionized Water. There is no harm storing the water for many days. Treat it like what you do for your normal water.

Q14. What is the best way to store Alkaline Ionized Antioxidant Water?

A14. We recommend usage of capped plastic or glass bottles. Always rinse your container with Acidic Water to disinfect the bottles before storing the water. This is hygienic and helps to restore the molecular structure and pH better.

After some time, if you find some flakes deposit at the side of your bottles, please do not worry. They are calcium flakes. You can either soak the container with Acidic water or vinegar to remove them.

Q15. Are there any side effects of drinking too much Alkaline Ionized Antioxidant Water at high pH10 and above?

A15. People have been known to drink as much as 1 to 2 gallons of Alkaline Ionized Antioxidant Water every day and have benefited greatly from it. And they have not become too alkaline. On the contrary, one of the most common imbalances people have today that lead to health problems is that they are too acidic. Our body pH should be approx. pH 6.8 - 7.8 (measured through Saliva). A lower body pH creates an environment in our bodies that is conducive to sickness. Blood pH is maintained within a narrow, from 7.35 to7.45; variances in anything more than a few tenths will most likely result in death. Cancer cells live in acidic environment whereas Healthy cells live in alkaline environment.
