CELLULAR ABSORPTION AND DETOXIFICATION

The water we drink differs substantially from the water that "baths" the tissue and cells in the body (i.e., extracellular fluids). The extracellular fluids have a surface tension of 45 dynes. It is necessary for the body to reduce the surface tension of water we consume in order for the nutrients to pass through the cell membrane so metabolites (i.e., waste products) can be excreted from the cell. Water molecule cluster size is a relative indication of surface tension. Smaller water clusters have relatively less cohesion as a result of a fewer number of hydrogen bonds between the individual water molecules. The surface tension is decreased because the water clusters are fractionated.

Essentia Water has unique physical properties of "smaller water clusters" as measured by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). NMR analyses reveal that tap water and well water clusters consists of 10-13 water molecules. Essentia Water has reduced cluster sizes of 5-8 water molecules per cluster. As illustrated in Figure 1, the NMR signal which measured the cluster size of Essentia Water at 60 Hertz (Hz) in peak width, reveals that Essentia Water clusters are smaller than tap and well water. Tap, well, and deionized waters measured 69, 82, and 89/130 Hz, respectively (See Figure 1). Wider peak widths indicate non-electrolyzed waters have larger water clusters. Smaller clusters of Essentia Water reduce the surface tension of extracellular fluids and enhance the absorption and detoxification of the cells' interior and extracellular fluid volumes. Essentia Water is able to saturate the cell more rapidly.
