Everyone has different water intake requirements. The rule of thumb is to drink half your body weight in ounces daily. For example, if you weight 100 lbs, convention would suggest you drink at least 50oz (one 1.5 liter) daily. Your level of activity, environment, diet and stress levels should be taken into consideration, as all of these determine your water intake requirement.

The smaller water clusters, “thinner water”, of Essentia Water are more efficient in passing into and out of the body’s cells. Regular water requires conditioning in order to be accepted by the cell. This process takes time and results in a backup of ingested water, giving this bloated sensation. Essentia Water has a lower surface tension giving the water a characteristic described as “silky” by those drinking it. See similar questions...

You can find Essentia in most natural and health food stores across the country. Essentia can also be found in the health food sections of many major supermarkets as well as a growing number of fitness centers, spas and offices of healthcare practitioners. In circumstances where Essentia may not be available in your area, Essentia Water would be pleased to ship directly to your home or office.

estimated 75 - 90 percent of ingested fluoride is absorbed by the alimentary tract (NRC 1993). Fluoride in drinking-water accounts for about half of the total intake in young children and half the total intake in adults (NHMRC 1991). The rest of the intake is from dietary sources, especially from tea, which contains fluoride in the range of 1 - 3 ppm (Murray et al 1991). Some heavy tea drinkers may even have intakes of 8 - 10 mg/day (refer to Water Fluoridation In New Zealand). See similar questions...

Answer: We recommend at least 2 ounces per day. At that level, you'll be getting the antioxidant equivalent of 7.5 mixed servings of fruits and vegetables which is 50% more than the 5 servings recommended by the USDA for general health maintenance. However, when sick, drinking more than 2 ounces may help lessen the severity of symptoms and shorten their duration. See similar questions...

FreeLife recommends 2 ounces twice daily. There are no known side effects from drinking more than that (other than smiling too much!). Diabetics and patients on blood thinners should begin with a lower dose and be supervised by their doctor. See similar questions...

Water taken from lakes, rivers, streams and ponds may look clean and have no undesirable odor or taste. Unfortunately, however, pathogens found in water not only are harmful, but also are invisible to the naked eye and may be odorless and tasteless. These bacteria, viruses and protozoa can cause mild nausea and fever or can develop into more serious illnesses, such as severe diarrhea, hepatitis or typhoid fever. See similar questions...

Essentia Water is non-source dependent, which means Essentia can be produced and bottled anywhere in the world using virtually any water source. Essentia currently uses municipal water as its source supply. The water is completely purified using a filtration and reverse osmosis process that reduces TDS (total dissolved solids) down to approximately 3 ppm (parts per million). See similar questions...

Some people only drink 4 ounces once or twice daily others are drinking 30 ounces or more per day without any ill effects. See similar questions...

Essentia’s proprietary process “Ionic Separation” produces “thinner” water, also referred to as structured or clustered water. This process removes most of the acidic ions in the water, resulting in a smoother, sweeter tasting water with no harsh, mineral aftertaste. See similar questions...

Definitely. However drinking Essentia Water will not by itself insure a properly pH balanced system. Essentia Water was designed to assist the body in neutralizing acidic conditions. The benefit of a properly balanced system is lower incidence and severity of infections such as colds, the flu and other infections. See similar questions...

In the “Ionic Separation” process, we free up active hydrogen. The most efficient scavenger of free radicals is active hydrogen. See similar questions...

The amount of water a person should drink daily is one half their body weight in ounces. For example a 100 lb person should drink 50oz of water daily. See similar questions...

In February 2004, the Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board issued new recommendations for water consumption. Instead of the previous 8 glasses per day, or approximately 2 Liters per day, the institute now recommends that healthy individuals consume Water is an essential nutrient needed for daily body functions.38 Every system in our body depends on water.

Besides drawing, we make proposals on the computer, work with engineers, go to meetings, argue with finance people, assist clay modellers, do a bit of market research, meet with customers, try to keep up with the latest trends, do paperwork, and hopefully attend a motorshow once in a while.

Essentia Water uses a proprietary process called Ionic Separation. There are two ions in water. One is negatively charged (alkaline) and the other is positively charged (acidic). This process uses electrolysis to electrically split water into alkaline and acidic streams. We bottle only the alkaline stream. In doing so, we are bottling the water that has had the acidic ion removed, which naturally raises the pH of the remaining water. See similar questions...

Simply stated, Litmus Papers cannot be used to determine the pH of clean water or exceptionally pure waters like Essentia. Chemicals on the litmus strip actually alter the pH as the water is being tested. The TDS (total dissolved solids) of a tested liquid must be above 150 to 200 ppm (parts per million) to initiate a sufficient reaction on pH paper. See similar questions...
