Minerals in water typically keep water from becoming bio-chemically aggressive. This condition is easily illustrated when observing water-filtering such as distilling water or reverse osmosis (r/o water) which are the processes used to treat water in all “purified” bottled water products and other industrial beverages. Simply stated, there is nothing in nature that duplicates “distilled” or “reverse osmosis” processes. These methods represent a literal stripping of the water’s structure and mineral content. This changes the properties in the water causing it to become acidic, mineral void, and bio-chemically aggressive while seeking to extract minerals and re-balance itself from whatever living system it occupies. Re-adding the minerals compensates, to a degree, this alteration and re-balances the water’s flavor but like anything that is sourced as “natural” and becomes disassembled and put back together again, important beneficial properties are lost.

The naturally occurring minerals in water are also responsible for balance in the solvent properties of water, as well as positive pH measures making the water alkaline and non-aggressive to living organisms. It is also true that in the design of animals and humans, minerals are acquired through the consumption of plants and vegetation (that are most often very alkaline) which absorb crystalline minerals from the ground and transform them into amorphous (non-crystalline) minerals that the living cells of animals and humans can process and assimilate (absorb) for optimal metabolizing. The beauty of glacier water is that the glacial minerals are colloidal by nature (suspended in the molecular medium of water) and enjoy an amorphous quality that allows them to be processed and utilized in the living organisms consuming the glacier water, instead of simply passing through as is the case with crystalline minerals that are found in most other water sources on earth. This puts Alaska Glacier Products’ water with its glacial mineral benefits, dissolved oxygen, and alkalinity in the very top of the wellness water category.

In science, it is known that when glacier ice begins melting, it releases immense molecular energy in the transition from solid to liquid form. This same energy, interestingly, is released when transitioning from liquid to gas form. The energy is created by the polarity of the 2 Hydrogen molecules in H2O which increases into a very active ritual of motion as the ice melts. This perpetual motion is called hydrogen bonding or clustering (this occurs naturally in unprocessed water, however, to a higher degree in glacier water). In mere micro seconds, nano-meter sized bridges are being connected and detached to and from polarizing water molecules in a continual and fluid fashion forming structured micro clusters within the water medium. Increased hydrogen bonding, as in glacier water, means smaller groups of micro-clusters which equates to higher structural dynamics within the water.

The naturally structured formations are observable when the water freezes again, sharing its’ hexagonal identity as is reflected by the eternal and mysterious six-sided snow flake. Active polarizing water molecules that form the water clusters that are inherently structured by nature to translate specific benefits of water into the biological systems they occupy, now generate kinetic energy. This promotes harmony with the human body fluids and greatest efficiency during metabolizing (energy) and hydrating processes. This is nature’s perfect cycle of energy in motion at the molecular level and represents glacier water’s dynamic hydration ability. Distilled, purified and or industrially-modified waters fail to possess these dynamic structuring and hydrating properties and in comparison must take their places far behind the benefits provided by glacier water, nature’s pure premium drinking water.
