11 Benefits of Alkaline Water You Should Know About
Alkaline Water Beauty Benefits | Skin and Hair
1. Reduces Signs of Aging
Oxidation is the process where oxygen chemically bonds with other substances. This can damage and destroy cells resulting in different signs of aging and diseases.
Alkaline water helps fight this age-promoting process. With its high negative oxidation reduction potential (ORP) level and alkaline mineral content, it can aid in flushing out free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Reactive Oxygen Species Definition: Chemically reactive chemicals with oxygen molecules.
2. Hydrates the Skin
Proper hydration is an important prerequisite to healthy skin. Dehydration may lead to dryness, flakiness, and oiliness.
To achieve glowing skin, the body has to flush out toxins. Adequate hydration results in a more efficient toxin expulsion.
Additionally, when the skin isn’t sufficiently hydrated, it produces more oil as a defense mechanism of sort leading to more oiliness and increasing the chances of acne breakouts.
Tyent alkaline water, specifically, is more hydrating is because it contains hydrogen, the smallest element on Earth. Thus, it absorbs into the cells faster.
And since it’s alkaline, it allows for faster gastric emptying.
3. Help with Hair Loss?
Oxidative damage can result in hair loss, too. The antioxidant properties of alkaline water help flush out free radicals that cause this process, as mentioned earlier.
Drinking alkaline water and following an alkaline diet is a great way to fight anti-aging.
4. Helps Protect Hair from Grease or Dryness
Our skin is the largest organ in the body and our scalp is a part of it. The hydrating benefits of alkaline water can promote a healthy scalp which helps in having strong and healthier hair.

5. Promotes Gut Health
Did you know that gut health is linked to the efficient functioning of different physiological processes in the body?
Having a healthy gut affects how the immune system operates. The gut microbiome can control our response to infection by communication with the cells of the immune system.
There are also new studies suggesting the effect of the gut microbiome to the central nervous system that controls our brain function.
With these in mind, alkaline water may promote a balanced gut environment. This is due to its ability to supply additional hydroxyl ions that get rid of oxygen in the gut.
A low-oxygen environment is needed for the growth of good bacteria in the stomach.
6. Gives More Energy
The ideal blood pH is around 7.35. When this level increases or drops, our ability to function may be compromised.
To transport oxygen to each cell of the body, red blood cells do this by having a negative charge that lets them keep separate and repel each other.
When the body is acidic, too much acid can disrupt the negative charge and result in compromised blood flow in the capillaries decreasing the amount of oxygen distributed and the rate at which it’s delivered.
As a result, energy levels are decreased and this can also weaken the red blood cells which can produce more acid.
Drinking alkaline water to stabilize body pH levels may reverse or prevent this from happening.
7. May Help with GERD Symptoms
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) happens when stomach acid and enzymes, including pepsin, travel back up the esophagus causing acid reflux.
Pepsin Definition: A digestive enzyme that breaks down proteins and damages the tissues of the esophagus.
Alkaline water may neutralize pepsin and reduce GERD symptoms. This benefit is recorded in a vitro study from the Voice Institute of New York.
The study found that drinking alkaline water with 8.8 pH helped in deactivating pepsin and may provide relief for the participant with acid reflux.
Note that alkaline water can only help with the symptoms much like an antacid and cannot treat the cause of acid reflux itself.
8. Supports Blood Sugar Regulation
High blood sugar can do a number to your health including side effects like fatigue and headaches. increased thirst, and vision and nerve damage.
Preliminary research has found that alkaline water intake may help regulate blood sugar. A Chinese study showed that drinking alkaline water reduced its participants’ blood sugar levels significantly.
Another study on mice carried out at the Dongduk Women’s University showed that alkaline water has anti-diabetic properties such as reducing the subjects’ blood sugar and improving their glucose tolerance.
9. Supports Bone Health
One research on women aged 75 years and above showed that drinking alkaline water resulted in the decrease of two bone loss indicators—parathyroid hormones which control calcium and phosphorus levels in the body and serum c-telopeptide which is used to measure bone turnover.
10. May Help with Weight Loss
Alkaline water may also help in your weight loss journey. Drinking around 8 to 10 glasses of cold alkaline water every day may improve the body’s resting metabolic rate.
What is Resting Metabolic Rate? This is the rate at which the body burns energy while completely at rest.
The benefits of having an increased resting metabolic rate include:
- Burning more calories when at rest and while sleeping
- Burning more calories throughout the day and during workouts
- Having more lean muscles which result in having a low body fat percentage and the decrease in the risk of diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and a heart condition
11. Supports Blood Pressure Management
This study of 100 people showed that drinking water with a higher pH can significantly improve the blood viscosity—the measurement of how efficient blood flows through the blood vessels.
The data showed a 6.3% blood viscosity reduction in participants who drank high pH water while those who consumed standard purified drinking water only recorded a 3.36% decrease.

Hi, Sammy. That’s absolutely correct. Drinking our alkaline water, which helps increase your body’s alkalinity, also boosts hydration, immunity, and anti-aging processes.
Useful suggestions…
Alkaline water could help a lot to reduce the rate of hair loss.
Besides, it also helps to trigger the growth of hair follicles and improves the density of the hair.
Applying similar natural remedies to deal with rapid hair loss has proven benefits.

Is your alkaline water the same as what I can get from other brands? I’m guessing this is a general alkaline water benefits list.
Hi, Gaynelle! To clarify, not all kinds of alkaline water offer these benefits. There are companies that rely on baking soda to increase their water’s pH level, which isn’t very beneficial, while bottled alkaline water brands lose the freshness of the water and even expose customers to the risk of chemicals leaching into their plastic bottles.
On the other hand, Tyent’s hydrogen-rich alkaline water is much healthier and more beneficial. A major reason for this is that our water is filled with molecular hydrogen, one of the smallest and most powerful antioxidants on earth. It’s able to cross the blood-brain barrier to deliver unparalleled hydration from deep within your cells. Tyent’s water has the optimal negative oxygen reduction potential or -ORP levels, indicating the presence of free-flowing molecular hydrogen.
We would love to tell you more about our water ionizers and the amazing water they produce. Please call our water experts at 855-893-6887 so they can happily accommodate you.
I’m curious about the process of drinking alkaline water. Do you stay at a single level the entire time?
Hi, Ryan. Great question. The goal of drinking our alkaline water is for you to reach alkaline level 3, the highest level that you can drink. Start with drinking alkaline level 1 water from weeks 1 to 4. It’s important to start slowly to let your body gradually get accustomed to the healthy cleansing qualities of water at higher pH levels. Move on to level 2 once your body is used to level 1 during weeks 5 to 8. By week 9, you can switch to drinking level 3 and stay on that level indefinitely to help your body maintain its optimal pH level. We advise that our customers drink the rest of their daily intake at the previous level and so on and so forth until their bodies fully adjust to switching to healthier water. Please be sure to never drink acidic water or turbo water, as those are for external use only.
