Water is the foundation of life — yet not all water is the same. In recent years, more families, wellness seekers, and professionals have been turning to Kangen Water®, a unique type of ionized, antioxidant-rich water produced exclusively by Enagic®’s medical-grade water ionizers.
But what exactly is Kangen Water®?Why is it different from ordinary drinking water?And why has it become such a global movement for health, sustainability, and lifestyle?
Let’s explore in depth — with clarity, transparency, and zero exaggerated claims.
1. What Is Kangen Water®?
“Kangen” is a Japanese word meaning “return to origin.”The concept refers to restoring water back to a more natural, mineral-rich, antioxidant state — similar to the pristine mountain streams of the past.
Kangen Water® is produced through a process called electrolyzed reduced water (ERW) using Enagic® water ionizers such as the K8, SD501, JRIV, and Super501.
It is known for three core properties:
1. Alkalinity (pH 8.5 – 9.5)
Helps balance acidity and supports better hydration.
2. High Antioxidant Potential (Negative ORP)
Acts as a source of active molecular hydrogen (H₂) — one of nature’s most studied antioxidants.
3. Micro-Clustered Water
Electrolysis restructures the water into smaller clusters, making it easier for the body to absorb.
Together, these properties create water that people around the world describe as smoother, lighter, and more refreshing.
2. How Is Kangen Water® Made?
Kangen Water® is produced through electrolysis — a safe, advanced process that splits water into two streams:
Alkaline, hydrogen-rich water (for drinking)
Acidic water (for beauty and cleaning functions)
Inside every Enagic® ionizer is a set of solid medical-grade titanium plates coated with 99.97% platinum, the same standards used in medical facilities in Japan.
The Process:
Tap water enters the machine.
A built-in double or triple filter removes chlorine, sediment, and impurities.
Electrolysis charges the water, producing different pH levels and rich H₂ content.
You simply choose the type of water using the touchscreen.
This technology is patented, certified, and fully manufactured in Japan.
3. The Different Types of Kangen Water®
One machine can produce seven different types of functional waters:
1. Kangen Water® (8.5–9.5 pH)
For daily drinking, cooking, coffee and tea, and hydration.
2. Clean Water (pH 7.0)
Gentle water for infants, medication, or neutral use.
3. Beauty Water (pH 4.0–6.0)
Known as “natural skin toner water” — ideal for hair, face mist, pets, and plants.
4. Strong Alkaline Water (pH 11.5)
Made using electrolysis enhancer (just sea-salt solution).
Excellent oil emulsifier
Removes pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides from produce
Cleans oily stains effectively(This is a natural process — not a chemical detergent.)
5. Strong Acidic Water (pH 2.5)
Known as hypochlorous acid (HOCl), widely used in Japan for:
Disinfection
Sanitization
Hygiene(Again, created naturally using only salt and water — not harmful chemicals.)
These specialty waters are part of what makes Enagic® unique. No other home ionizer produces pH 2.5 HOCl and pH 11.5 emulsifying water at this quality and safety level.
4. The Role of Hydrogen: The True Star of Kangen Water®
Over 1,000+ scientific studies worldwide highlight the potential benefits of molecular hydrogen (H₂) — including antioxidant and anti-oxidative stress properties.
Kangen Water® naturally contains active dissolved hydrogen, which many researchers consider the real reason people feel the difference.
Benefits often associated with hydrogen-rich water include:
Supporting better hydration
Reducing oxidative stress
Improving recovery after exercise
Supporting overall wellness and vitality
(Disclaimer: Not a medical claim. This is general wellness information based on existing hydrogen research.)
5. Why People Choose Kangen Water®
Families, athletes, wellness practitioners, and even cafés choose Kangen Water® for many reasons:
✔ Hydration That Feels Different
Many drinkers describe Kangen Water® as lighter and easier to drink, helping them stay hydrated naturally.
✔ A Natural Alternative to Plastic Bottles
No more plastic waste. No more recurring purchases. Just clean, functional water from your home.
✔ Versatility
One machine replaces:
Drinking water
Skincare toner
Dishwashing helper
Produce cleaning solution
Sanitizing water(and more)
✔ A Long-Term Wellness Investment
With proper care and maintenance, Enagic® machines last 15–25 years.
✔ A Global Community
Kangen Water® isn’t just a product — it’s a movement of families, entrepreneurs, and health-conscious individuals who believe in better wellness.
6. Is Kangen Water® Safe?
Yes — and it is supported by multiple certifications:
ISO 9001, 14001, 13485 (medical device manufacturing)
Japan’s Water Quality Association
TÜV and UL components
WQA Platinum Seal (varies by region)
The electrolysis enhancer used to produce pH 2.5 and 11.5 waters is simply food-grade sea salt — not a chemical detergent.
7. Kangen Water® and Lifestyle Transformation
Choosing Kangen Water® is not just upgrading your hydration — it is upgrading your entire lifestyle.
People often report:
drinking more water daily
feeling more energised
improving family habits
reducing plastic and household chemicals
becoming more conscious of true wellness
Many also join the Enagic® distributor program to share the lifestyle and build an additional income stream.
