ALKALINE 87 Plant Based Mineralized Spring Water 8.7 pH

Among the many bottled water brands, the ones with pHs in the range of 8 to 10 are known for their health benefits. The pH of water is an indicator of the presence of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions. The pH range is also used for marketing purposes. Some brands use the term alkaline water, but they may not contain all of the minerals needed for beneficial health effects.

The pH range of drinking water can affect the taste, color, and odor. In addition, extreme pH levels can cause corrosion in pipes and treatment plants. Alkaline water can reduce oxidative stress, improve hydration status, and decelerate aging. Taking alkalizing supplements can also help to balance the pH of the body.

Some researchers claim that alkaline water can decelerate aging and may help to lower the risk of chronic diseases. However, more research is needed to confirm the benefits of alkaline water. The pH of urine is also a surrogate marker for acid-base balance. Whether or not the pH of urine changes as a result of the use of alkalizing water is unclear.

A recent study tested the effects of a mineral-rich alkalizing bottled water on acid-base balance. It was found that the use of the water improved hydration status and blood pH, while increasing urine pH.

The pH of the urine increased from 6.07 to 6.21 after two weeks of AK water consumption. This increase was comparable to the increase in blood pH. However, it was also observed that the urine pH increased faster for people who reported a higher acid load or drank more of the water.
