Discover the science‑backed advantages of alkaline hydration and how Holy Elixir can support your wellbeing.
From improved hydration and circulation to antioxidant support and digestive health, alkaline water offers a range of potential benefits backed by scientific research. Here's what you need to know.
Alkaline water typically has a pH between 8.5 and 9.5, meaning it is less acidic than standard drinking water. Some proponents suggest that drinking water with a higher pH can help neutralise excess stomach acid and provide relief from heartburn. A 2017 clinical study paired alkaline water with a Mediterranean diet and found it was as effective as proton pump inhibitors at controlling acid reflux symptoms.
Proper hydration is essential for performance and recovery. High‑pH alkaline water has been shown to improve rehydration after exercise and reduce blood viscosity more than regular purified water. Lower blood viscosity means blood flows more easily, delivering oxygen and nutrients efficiently.
Alkaline water contains minerals like calcium and magnesium, which contribute to maintaining strong bones. Preliminary studies suggest that alkaline water may improve bone mineral density in postmenopausal individuals when combined with calcium and vitamin D supplementation. Research also indicates that alkaline ionized water can help regulate blood glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride levels and protect pancreatic cells in animals.
Oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) measures a fluid’s ability to act as an oxidant or antioxidant. Most tap water has a positive ORP of +200 to +400 mV, indicating that it is oxidising. In contrast, healthy internal environments are reductive (negative ORP). Water with a negative ORP may supply electrons that neutralise free radicals, acting as an antioxidant.
Holy Elixir’s black water is infused with fulvic acid and 77+ trace minerals. Fulvic acid contains electrolytes and amino acids that enhance nutrient absorption, support healthy digestion and help flush toxins from the body. Its antioxidant properties may bolster immune health by neutralising free radicals.
