In a series of blind tests carried out during product development, Mr Sang Whang evolved the present day formula, which is patented and unlike any purportedly similar product on the market. It contains a special ratio of mineral ingredients to naturally eliminate acid without any long-term side effects. Alkaline water made using Alkalife® has been tested non-toxic according to FDA approved toxicity tests - by FDA and DEA registered independent laboratories. AlkaLife is a patented alkaline concentrate. Mixing 2 drops of AlkaLife solution in an 8-oz. glass of water loads ordinary drinking water with powerful OH- alkaline ions. A 1.2 oz. bottle can be carried conveniently in a pocket or purse. In order to get the health benefits, one should drink 5 glasses of high pH alkaline water a day distributed as evenly as possible. By carrying an AlkaLife® bottle around, one can drink alkaline water anytime and anywhere.
