Minerals in Alkaline Kangen Water —
calcium, magnesium and potassium
for health

“The more alkaline the water, the greater the protective effect on the arteries.”

Does alkaline Kangen Water contain minerals?

I often hear this question and I want to answer it honestly: Kangen Water does not replace supplements in cases of serious deficiencies requiring supplementation under medical supervision.

But for a healthy person who wants to proactively support the body with minerals and has no significant deficiencies confirmed by blood tests — Kangen Water can be an excellent and very practical source of calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Every day, naturally, without pills and without “forgetting to take supplements”.

Moreover — absorption of minerals from water is smoother and more gradual than from tablets, which deliver a large dose at once. This may be beneficial for people sensitive to large single doses of supplements.

“The more alkaline the water, the greater the protective effect on the arteries and cardiovascular system.”

Scientific research on the effect of water pH on blood circulatory health showed a correlation between regular consumption of mineral-rich alkaline water and arterial health. Higher drinking water pH was associated with better outcomes in blood pressure and inflammation markers.

3 Key Minerals in Alkaline Kangen Water

Each of these minerals has a specific role in the body. Here is what you supply yourself with every day by drinking Kangen Water.

Ca

Calcium

The most abundant mineral in the body. Responsible for bone and tooth health and muscle function.

  • Blood pressure regulation
  • Heart health
  • Proper kidney function
  • Electrolyte balance
  • Muscle contractions
Mg

Magnesium

Involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions. Essential for energy, sleep, and stress resistance.

  • Blood pressure regulation
  • Heart health
  • Proper kidney function
  • Electrolyte balance
  • Muscle contractions
K

Potassium

An electrolyte essential for fluid balance, heart function, and healthy blood pressure.

Minerals from water are absorbed 30% better than from food

I often hear this question and I want to answer it honestly: Kangen Water does not replace supplements in cases of serious deficiencies requiring supplementation under medical supervision.

But for a healthy person who wants to proactively support the body with minerals and has no significant deficiencies confirmed by blood tests — Kangen Water can be an excellent and very practical source of calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Every day, naturally, without pills and without “forgetting to take supplements”.

Moreover — absorption of minerals from water is smoother and more gradual than from tablets, which deliver a large dose at once. This may be beneficial for people sensitive to large single doses of supplements.

Minerals from food / supplements

~70%

Must be digested by enzymes and released to ionic form before absorption. Process dependent on gut health, presence of other components, stomach acidity.

Minerals from alkaline Kangen Water

~97%

Already in ionic form, ready for immediate absorption. Electrolysis in the Kangen ionizer increases mineral bioavailability. No bitter / chalky aftertaste.

Why does Kangen Water taste better than mineral water?

Bottled mineral water often has a “chalky” or “bitter” taste when rich in calcium and magnesium — this is the effect of minerals in non-ionic or hard-to-absorb form. Electrolysis in the Kangen ionizer changes the mineral form, not removing minerals but converting them to ionic form that does not irritate taste receptors. The result: water with more “active” minerals tastes better than bottled water with fewer minerals in a harder-to-absorb form.

Health Benefits — What Does Research Say?

Stress Resistance

Magnesium is the “anti-stress mineral” — its deficiency amplifies stress responses, while stress in turn accelerates magnesium loss. Regular magnesium intake from Kangen Water may break this vicious cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ionized water and minerals — does a Kangen ionizer remove minerals?
No. A Kangen ionizer (Enagic) removes chlorine, heavy metals and other harmful substances through a carbon filter, but retains the natural minerals: calcium, magnesium and potassium. This is a fundamental difference between an ionizer and a reverse osmosis (RO) filter or distiller, which actually demineralize water. In a Kangen ionizer the minerals are transformed into an ionic form — more easily absorbed, but not removed.
Where do the minerals in Kangen water come from — are they added?
No, no minerals are added. Kangen water draws on the mineral content of tap water or the mains supply. The ionizer filters contaminants (chlorine, heavy metals) and transforms the mineral form through electrolysis, but does not mineral-enrich the water. That's why the taste and mineral content of Kangen water depend partly on the local water source — in Poland, mains water contains natural minerals.
Alkaline water — calcium, magnesium, potassium: how much of these minerals am I actually getting?
The exact amount depends on the water composition in a given region of Poland. Typical Polish tap water contains 50–150 mg/l of calcium, 10–30 mg/l of magnesium, and 5–15 mg/l of potassium. Drinking 2 liters of Kangen water a day provides your body with 100–300 mg of calcium and 20–60 mg of magnesium from water — a significant, though not the only, contribution to your daily requirement.
Why does Kangen water taste better than store-bought mineral water?
Electrolysis in a Kangen ionizer changes the mineral form — minerals take an ionic form that doesn't cause the characteristic "chalky" or "bitter" aftertaste typical of calcium-rich mineral waters. At the same time, the carbon filter removes chlorine and other substances that give an unpleasant smell and taste. The result is clean water, "round" in taste, with a delicate sweetness — which many users describe as "the water we remember from childhood".
Can people with kidney stones drink alkaline Kangen water?
Kidney stones are a serious matter, and with such a condition you must consult your doctor before changing your drinking water. Most kidney stones are calcium stones — but their formation depends on many factors, not just calcium intake. In many cases, proper hydration (with anything) reduces the risk of stones. Nonetheless — with a history of kidney stones, always the doctor first, then the decision about water.
Is alkaline water good for bones — does it actually help?
Scientific research suggests a positive effect of mineral-rich alkaline water on bone health. The mechanism is twofold: first, the calcium and magnesium supplied by the water support bone mineralization; second, the water's alkaline pH may reduce the "leaching" of calcium from bones by a body striving to maintain the acid-base balance of the blood. This is promising, although science is still researching the topic.
