The Alkaline Advantage - Can the Biocera Jug's Water Really Enhance Your Health

What if the water you drink could do more than just quench your thirst?

What if it could actually boost your health, energy, and even longevity?

Alkaline water is not your regular tap water.

That’s because it has a higher pH level, which means it's less acidic, and in turn more alkaline.

Did you know…?

Acidic environments breed disease and degradation.

While, alkaline environments support growth and health.

Imagine your water wearing a superhero cape; that's alkaline water for you!

Alkaline water is believed to have all sorts of superpowers,

…like helping your tummy feel better, supporting longevity and making you feel more energetic.

The only thing is, alkaline water is subject to a lot of controversy.

So is there any real scientific evidence out there that supports these claims?

That’s what we’re going to explore in this article.

Let’s dive in…

When we talk about the alkalinity of water, we're essentially discussing its pH level. PH stands for the potential of hydrogen. The pH scale ranges from zero to 14 and serves as an indicator of how acidic or alkaline a substance is. A pH of seven is seen as neutral, while a lower pH (say 2) indicates acidity and a higher pH (like 9) signifies alkalinity.

Alkaline water can be produced in various ways. One common method is electrolysis, where an electrical device separates water into its acidic and alkaline elements. The alkaline portion is then collected and often bottled. Another approach involves enriching water with specific minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium, which naturally elevate its pH level.

The Biocera Alkaline Water Jug is a cost effective, easy and lightweight way to produce alkaline water. The jug transforms ordinary everyday tap water into hydrogen-rich, alkaline water. It does this by:

• Increasing the pH level from 7.5 to 9.5, making the water more alkaline.
• Filtering out chlorine, reducing heavy metals and dissolved organic residue like benzene and pesticides.
• Using natural bioceramic materials to emit low levels of natural energy.
• Stimulating the release of active molecular hydrogen.
• Altering the water's ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential), typically between -100mV and -250mV.
• The jug has a 1.5-liter capacity and is made from NSF Certified and BPA-free plastic.
• The filters should be replaced every two months.

In today's world, sustainability is more than just a buzzword; it's a necessity. When it comes to alkaline water, the Biocera Jug offers an eco-friendly alternative that stands in stark contrast to bottled alkaline water. Here's how:

Bottled alkaline water often comes in single-use plastic bottles, contributing to the growing problem of plastic waste. On the other hand the Biocera Jug is made from NSF Certified and BPA-free plastic and is reusable. Significantly reducing your plastic footprint.

Transporting bottled water involves significant energy consumption. This contributes to carbon emissions. With the Biocera Jug, you're creating alkaline water right in your own home, or office. Cutting out the need for transportation and thereby reducing your carbon footprint.

The filters in the Biocera Jug need to be replaced only every two months, as opposed to the frequent purchases of bottled alkaline water. This not only saves you money but also minimises waste.

Unlike electrolysis machines, which require electricity to function, the Biocera Jug uses natural bioceramic materials to alkalise water, making it an energy-efficient choice.

Bottled water companies often use far more water in the bottling process than actually ends up in the bottle. The Biocera Jug transforms your tap water, making better use of existing resources and reducing waste.

The contents of the used filters can be put on your garrden to enhance the soil, or put in your kitchen/garden waste. The empty outer shell can be put in plastic recycling.

By opting for the Biocera Jug, you're not just making a choice that benefits your health; you're also making a responsible choice for the planet. In a world where every small action counts, switching to a sustainable method of alkalising your water is a step in the right direction.

You might be wondering, "Is this all make-believe?" Nope! People in Japan have been drinking alkaline water for years. In fact, they like it so much that their health experts have special machines that make alkaline water. These machines are even considered medical devices in Japan. In one study on mice the researchers reported that drinking alkaline water may “exert positive effects on body weight improvement and development in offspring.” They also noted an increase in metabolic activity. According to Science Direct “Low gastric pH prevents bacterial growth in the gastric chamber and bacterial migration from the small bowel.”

In particular Japanese scientists have noted an improvement in stomach conditions when patients consume alkaline water. They explain “The effect of reducing oxidative stress, thus allowing for improved sleep, was exhibited by drinking alkaline electrolysed water  (AEW)containing hydrogen, which is considered to be an antioxidant substance.” Another study discovered that alkaline water had an anti-diabetic effect on rats. The outcome of these studies are positive for those suffering with diabetes. As the researchers discovered a reduction in the levels of glucose, triglycerides, and total cholesterol in the blood. All markers for diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

While the primary focus of the Biocera Jug is to provide alkaline water, its health benefits may extend beyond simply balancing your body's pH levels. Here's a closer look:

1. Antioxidant Properties: The Biocera Jug not only alkalises water but also enriches it with molecular hydrogen, a known antioxidant. Antioxidants help combat oxidative stress, which is linked to ageing and various chronic diseases.
2. Detoxification: The jug's filtration system removes harmful substances like chlorine, and reduces heavy metals, and organic residues. This might not seem like much, but excessive chlorine intake is connected to liver and kidney cancer. This detoxifying effect can be beneficial for your liver and kidneys, the body's natural filtration systems.
3. Enhanced Hydration: Some users report that alkaline water from the Biocera Jug is easier to absorb, leading to better hydration. Proper hydration is crucial for everything from cognitive function to joint health
4. Potential for Improved Digestion: Alkaline water has been studied for its effects on gastrointestinal health. While more research is needed, some users report relief from symptoms like acid reflux and indigestion
5. Immune System Support: A balanced pH level can create an environment where your immune system operates optimally. While not a substitute for a balanced diet and regular exercise, alkaline water could be a supplementary measure.

When it comes to alkalising your water, there are several methods available. Each has its own set of advantages and drawbacks. Let's see how the Biocera Jug stacks up against some of these alternatives:

• Effectiveness: Highly effective in producing alkaline water with customisable pH levels.
• Cost: These machines can be expensive, ranging from £800 to £4,000.
• Comparison: While electrolysis machines offer high customisation, the Biocera Jug provides a simpler, more affordable option. Plus, Biocera focuses on natural bioceramic materials rather than electrical processes.

• Effectiveness: Quick and easy but doesn’t offer the same level of alkalinity or additional benefits like filtering out contaminants.
• Cost: Relatively cheap, usually around £10 to £40 for a month's supply.
• Comparison: The Biocera Jug not only alkalises but also filters and enriches the water, offering a more comprehensive solution. This means your water will be fresher, and free from toxins, as well as alkalised.

• Effectiveness: Varies by brand but generally effective in increasing pH levels.
• Cost: Ranges from £20 to £100.
• Comparison: While other pitchers may only focus on alkalising, the Biocera Jug also adds molecular hydrogen and alters the ORP levels, potentially offering additional health benefits.

• Effectiveness: Convenient but may lose its alkalinity over time.
• Cost: Can be expensive in the long run, costing up to £3 per litre
• Comparison: The Biocera Jug offers a more eco-friendly and cost-effective solution, allowing you to produce alkaline water at home.

The Biocera Jug offers a balanced approach to alkalising water. It combines effectiveness with affordability and adds unique features like molecular hydrogen enrichment and ORP alteration. If you're looking for a comprehensive, cost-effective solution for alkaline water, the Biocera Jug is worth considering.
