The Life Span of Alkaline Water

A question that many people ask is, ‘how long does alkaline water last for?’ In other words, how long does alkaline water retain its unique properties and does it lose its beneficial qualities over time?

Harness Good Health!

The short answer is yes, alkaline water does lose its potency and drinking freshly ionized water is best if you want to harness all of those incredible benefits to support good health. But sometimes, that’s not possible. If you want to take alkaline water along with you on a hike, to the gym or a trip away from home, how long can you expect your alkaline water to stay good for?

A glass of delicious alkaline water from your water ionizer is brimming with alkalinity, thousands of bubbles of molecular hydrogen and antioxidant potential. Drink it now and you’ll get maximum benefits and that amazing clear, clean taste.

Alkaline Water All Day

Those tiny bubbles of molecular hydrogen, and the mighty antioxidant power they pack, are intense and potent, but fragile. They will begin to dissipate – but not disappear – after around 8 hours. However, it is a gradual dissipation, so your bottle of alkaline water will last through the average working day, until you’re back home. If you took a water bottle with you during an overnight trip, there would be traces of molecular hydrogen still present for up to 24 hours.

Keep a Lid on It

You can help to preserve the molecular hydrogen content and antioxidant properties by making sure that you reseal your water bottle after each drink, rather than leaving it unsealed on your desk or workstation. Keeping your alkaline water container out of direct sunlight – in a cool, dark place if possible - will also help to retain the therapeutic benefits.

Of course, alkaline water stored in a clean container will still be good to drink after 24 hours, but those incredible benefits that freshly ionized water delivers will be diminished.

Don't Bother with Bottled Alkaline Water

Knowing this, it's easy to see why bottled alkaline water, that might have languished for months in a warehouse before sitting on the supermarket shelf, can never deliver anything like the therapeutic value of freshly ionized water.

The takeaway? That to benefit most from the unique properties of alkaline hydrogen water, nothing compares to the taste and potency of the freshly ionized version.
