Why Deeside is different

Deeside Mineral Water is fundamentally different to most other waters because of specific characteristics in its natural chemistry. These characteristics can be easily measured in a laboratory, but the science of why these properties are important and the effects they have in the body are extremely complex. Water is one of the most widely researched substances on Earth and countless books exist, which try to explain its amazing properties.

We hope the following summary of the main points is helpful, but it is a summary of a huge and complex subject and is only an introduction to the full explanation of why Deeside Mineral Water is special.

Water refreshes our bodies, but also acts at cell level to perform many tasks including the removal of toxins, transportation of nutrients and the sending of electrical messages. The content of the water in our bodies will vary, depending on the source and some will have more or less of one mineral or another. Research suggests the body works most efficiently when the fluids inside it have particular properties at certain levels. Research by Professor Louis Claude Vincent identified the following key factors :

pH, which is the measure of hydrogen ion concentration or more commonly known as the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. This is important as the number of hydrogen ions can vary by millions in a single drop of water and this is significant over the volume in the body.

Electrical conductivity, which relates to mineral content. A low mineral content means low electrical conductivity, which has an impact on the electrochemical function in the body. Minerals in water are inorganic and therefore not as easily available to the body as organic minerals in food, so a low mineral content is preferable.

REDOX potential, which measures the ability of water to act as a REDucing or OXidising agent. A low Redox potential means the water may donate electrons to the body or encourage the donation of electrons, like an anti-oxidant.

Simple lab analysis shows that Deeside Mineral Water is fundamentally different to most other waters in these measurements. Furthermore, research showed that when these 3 factors are found at certain levels, they help maintain a healthy balance in the body. Deeside Mineral Water naturally has this ideal balance. It is a quirk of nature. Curative springs were common historically, but unfortunately, pollution has upset the balance of many other waters in the world and most do not conform to the pattern required. Fortunately, the remote location and pure rainfall of Royal Deeside mean this water still possesses the correct mix.

When other waters are measured, it is easy to discount 99% instantly because their mineral content is too high or the pH is wrong. In addition to this, it is very unusual to have a low Redox potential, because of the natural geology and environment required to produce this.

In simple terms, you could say Deeside Mineral Water acts like an anti-oxidant to help protect living cells from the harmful effects of oxidative stress to keep them healthier and perform better. This positive reaction builds up over millions of cells to become significant in the body, particularly over time, assisting detoxification and helping restore balance to body fluids.
