Health Benefits

H2O water molecules join together to form clusters, with normal water clusters consisting of around 10 - 13 molecules. Deeside Mineral Water has naturally smaller clusters of around 6 - 8 molecules, allowing them to flow more easily through the body, be readily absorbed by cells and increase hydration. 

Hydrated bodies perform and feel better. Hydrated skin looks more radiant, healthy and younger compared to dehydrated skin. 

It is these same micro clusters that make Deeside Water “thinner” than standard water, giving a deliciously smooth texture which is very appealing to the taste buds. 

Mineral content is the term given to the total volume of dissolved solids (TDS) such as minerals and salts in water. Research has shown healthy waters to have a low mineral content and as such a lower electrical conductivity, making it preferable for internal functions in the body. 

Deeside Mineral Water is very low in minerals at just 60mg per litre, making it unusually pure. In addition to a clean fresh taste, this helps the body flush out toxins and is suited to people on diets which require low levels of certain elements.  

pH is used to show the acidity or alkalinity of a solution and is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration. The pH scale runs from 0 to 14 with 7 being neutral.  

Research suggests that 1 ml of water at pH 7 will have sixty thousand million H ions, but at pH 6 will have six hundred thousand million ions. This means small changes in pH can have enormous effects on the biological balance in the blood as thousands of millions of ions can be gained or lost. 

A pH of around 6 has been identified as beneficial for well-being. Deeside Mineral Water has a pH of 6.1, which is lower than most bottled waters and as such has a huge number of spare ions to donate, acting like an anti-oxidant.

REDOX potential is a measure of how easily a substance loses or gains electrons in a REDuction or OXidation reaction; a chemical reaction where one reactant is reduced and the other oxidised.  

Electrons move from the reducing agent to the oxidizing agent. A low REDOX means greater potential to donate electrons while the opposite high REDOX means the substance is more likely to accept electrons. 

Deeside Mineral Water has a low REDOX potential, meaning the tendency to donate electrons is greater. When combined with the low pH it allows more electrons to be donated to the body. This “antioxidant” effect helps slow harmful Free Radicals (unstable atoms missing an electron), supports detoxification and maintain balance in bodily fluids.

International research shows that living cells work best when internal fluids have a mineral content, pH and REDOX potential within certain parameters. Deeside Mineral Water has these proportions making it fundamentally different to most other waters, supporting cells at a deeper level and offering more than just hydration alone. 

Antioxidants are known to reduce the harmful effects of free radicals, which are part of the ageing and disease process. Free radicals are oxygen molecules, missing an electron and therefore out of balance. They try to regain balance by “stealing” an electron from one of our healthy cells, which sets off a harmful chain reaction.

This process is accelerated by oxidising substances, like smoke, pollution and electro-magnetic fields. Our bodies deal with free radicals but as we age, or at times of stress, we are not as efficient at neutralising them. 

Antioxidants in fruit and food support our well-being. In simple terms, antioxidants have spare electrons which are donated to the free radicals. This neutralizes them, slowing the harmful process.

Deeside Mineral Water acts like an antioxidant due to its low pH and REDOX Potential, donating spare electrons to slow the oxidising process. 

We have undertaken many clinical research studies at hospitals, universities, and a skin clinic. We are not permitted to highlight the results but encourage you to search online to read more. Deeside Mineral Water is one of the most thoroughly tested waters in the world.
