Kangen Water®: A Journey of Electrolyzed Reduced Water for Better Health

Kangen Water®, also known as Electrolyzed Reduced Water (ERW) or hydrogen water, is a healthy drinking water made from tap water. It is rich in natural antioxidants and is designed to support cellular vitality.

Compared to ordinary drinking water and bottled water, it is a more suitable choice for modern healthy lifestyles.

Kangen Water® is produced using Enagic® water ionization systems. Tap water is first deeply filtered to remove chlorine and other impurities. It then undergoes an advanced electrolysis process that separates hydrogen and oxygen. During this process, electrons are added to hydrogen atoms, forming molecular hydrogen gas, which is infused into the water, resulting in antioxidant-rich Kangen Water®.

Oxidation naturally occurs in the human body. However, excessive oxidation can lead to cellular damage and is associated with modern health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

Antioxidants play an important role in slowing or preventing oxidation processes and neutralizing free radicals—highly reactive molecules that can damage cells and contribute to disease development.

Scientific research supported by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) has reported measurable findings:

After 8 weeks of drinking hydrogen-rich water:

• Superoxide dismutase (SOD) antioxidant enzyme activity increased by 39% (p<0.05)

• Urinary thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) decreased by 43% (p<0.05)

After 4 weeks:

• HDL (“good” cholesterol) increased by 8%

• Total cholesterol to HDL ratio decreased by 13%

These results suggest that hydrogen-rich water may enhance antioxidant capacity, reduce oxidative stress, and support healthier lipid balance in the body.

Kangen Water®, as a form of electrolyzed reduced water, has been used in hospitals in Japan for decades. Today, with Enagic® home water ionization systems, it can be easily produced at home, offering a clean, safe, and mineral-rich drinking water that supports modern wellness needs.

Kangen Water® Full Range Water Usage Guide

Enagic® systems precisely regulate pH levels, separating water into alkaline and acidic types through electrolysis. Each pH level serves different functions and applications. With a simple button press, users can easily generate the desired water type. The system also features an HD LCD display and voice guidance for convenient and intuitive operation.

High-Alkaline Kangen Water® (pH 11.0+)

Strong alkaline Kangen Water® offers powerful cleaning ability, along with dissolving and heat-transfer properties. It is a practical helper for household cleaning and food preparation, while also helping reduce daily costs.

Applications:

• Food preparation: washing vegetables and fish

• Boiling ingredients such as broccoli, onions, and bamboo shoots to enhance natural flavor

• Kitchen cleaning: cutting boards, cloths, and removal of grease from ventilation areas

• Stain removal: coffee, soy sauce, oil stains, and toilet cleaning

• Dishwashing: reduces detergent usage and requires only one-third to one-quarter of normal water usage, saving both water and cleaning agents

Drinking-Grade Kangen Water® (pH 8.5–9.5)

This pH range is ideal for drinking and healthy cooking. It may help support acid-alkaline balance and promote a more balanced internal environment.

Applications:

Daily drinking:

• Recommended 2–3 glasses in the morning on an empty stomach

• Smooth, clean taste with a mild natural sweetness

• Helps balance dietary acidity from foods such as eggs, rice, and meat

Food preparation:

• Reduces bitterness when soaking onions and bamboo shoots

• Reduces odor when soaking liver and meats (20–30 minutes)

Cooking:

• Improves texture and flavor when used for washing rice and cooking

• Enhances aroma and taste of coffee and tea while improving extraction efficiency

• Produces richer soups and allows reduced use of salt and soy sauce

Household & lifestyle use:

• Watering plants and flowers to support vitality

• Can be used in pet care applications (consult veterinarian for guidance)

• Suitable for fabric soaking and creative dyeing work

• Improves hydration efficiency due to smaller water molecule clusters

Drinking-grade Kangen Water® retains essential minerals such as calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Unlike reverse osmosis systems, it does not remove beneficial minerals, allowing both purification and mineral retention.

Pure Water (pH 7.0)

The water is deeply filtered through a three-stage high-efficiency purification system, removing chlorine, rust, suspended particles, and other impurities. The result is clean water with retained minerals and a naturally smooth, slightly sweet taste. It is ideal for applications that require high water purity.

Applications:

• Medication intake: suitable for taking medicines with clean drinking water

• Infant formula preparation: ensures safe and reliable water for baby nutrition

Acidic Water (pH 6.0–4.0)

This mildly acidic water has a natural astringent effect. It is gentle, non-irritating, and suitable for a wide range of personal care, food preparation, and household cleaning applications.

Applications:

Skincare & personal care:

• Can be used as a facial toner to tighten pores and refresh skin

• Soothes skin after shaving

Hair care:

• Rinse after shampooing to reduce tangling and improve smoothness and shine

Bath & body care:

• Added to bath water to help reduce limescale and improve skin moisture

• Provides a gentle warming and soothing bathing experience

Pet care:

• Helps keep pet fur soft, smooth, and shiny

Clothing care:

• Soaking clothes before spinning helps soften fabric and improve comfort

Food preparation:

• Speeds up cooking of beans such as green beans and soybeans (avoid overcooking)

• Preserves natural color when washing fruits and vegetables such as strawberries, red cabbage, asparagus, and eggplant

Cooking applications:

• Improves crispiness of fried food batter

• Enhances texture and taste of fried foods

Food preservation:

• Spraying on frozen food before storage helps maintain original flavor after thawing

Cleaning:

• Removes stains, grease, and dirt after soaking for 24 hours

• Leaves glassware and tableware clean and shiny

• Cleans mirrors, glasses, and windows without streaks

• Removes dirt from hardwood floors and tiles without leaving residue

Strong Acidic Water (pH ≤ 2.7)

Strong acidic water has powerful disinfecting and antibacterial properties. It is suitable for household hygiene and commercial sanitation applications. Care should be taken with metal materials.

Applications:

• Disinfection of kitchen tools such as knives, cutting boards, cloths, and kitchen towels

• For best results: clean first with strong alkaline Kangen Water®, then disinfect with strong acidic water

• Wipe dry metal items after use to prevent rust

Daily hygiene:

• Hand sanitizing

• Bathroom surface cleaning and disinfection

Commercial use:

• Widely used in beauty salons, hair salons, restaurants, agricultural institutions, childcare centers, pet shops, and elderly care facilities
