What Are pH Drops?

pH drops are a potent powerful solution that when added to water dramatically increases the pH of that water. To stay properly hydrated it is absolutely essential to drink between 3-5 litres of water per day - so the quality of this water is critical. If you drink three litres of acidic water every day you will not be doing your body any favours at all!

pH drops, at the very least raise the pH of the water from around 6-6.5 up to between 7.5-9.5 (varies by brand). Depending on the brand you buy, you might also get an extra benefit, for instance, PuripHy also neutralises any acid microforms in the water such as yeast, bacteria and mycotoxins to give you a high pH, pure drinking water.

Using pH drops in your drinking water can have a profound effect on your health and it is one of those supplements where you really notice the difference, straight away!

The contents of each varies, but it is generally a highly potent concentration of alkaline minerals including Sodium Bicarbonate, Magnesium Bicarbonate, potassium Bicarbonate and Calcium Bicarbonate. pHion’s pH Booster Ionic Solution also contains 72 extra ionic minerals to help ionise the water.

The following pH Drops are, in our opinion, the best on the market. We have been leading the way in the alkaline diet world for over six years now and have tried and tested every pH drops product that has been launched - and these are the brands we are willing to put our name to:

PuripHy
pH Miracle Living

Dr Young’s 4th Generation pH Drops – PuripHy are, in my opinion, the best pH drops on the market today. They say you get what you pay for and this could not be truer than with these little drops. However, even though PuripHy retail slightly more expensively than other brands, because they are so potent you only need to use five drops, meaning that each bottle lasts waaay longer than other similar brands.

PuripHy also not only increases the pH of the water it is added to, but it also neutralises acid toxins in the water including yeasts, molds and bacterias. This unique product is my product of choice for pH drops.

Best For: those who want the best.

pH Booster
pHion Balance

pHion Balance’s pH Booster is our biggest selling pH drops product and is totally unique in that it has a twostep formula.

Step One: alkalises the water, much like other pH drops – but
Step Two: actually ionises the water with a blend of 72 ionic minerals.

The outcome of this ionisation is that the water clusters and becomes ‘wetter’, basically meaning that it becomes more hydrating to the body, as the body has to do less work to absorb and use it.

Best For: those who want ionisation as well as alkalisation!

Plasma pH
Alkavision

Alkalvision’s Plasma pH is a standard pH drop, in that it increases the pH of the water – however it is great for the more budget conscious alkaliser. We love Alkavision because it is still a great, potent product.

Other cheaper pH drops are often so weak that you have to use 15-20 drops to get a decent increase in pH – but with Alkavision you still only need 10 drops. OK, it doesn’t have the ionising capacity of pH Booster or the purification skills of PuripHy – but if you just want to get your pH up you can do far worse at this price.

Best For: the price conscious alkaliser who still wants a quality pH hit!

Which pH drops are best?

All of the pH drops we sell at energiseforlife.com have been tried and tested by the Energise staff over the course of the last five to six years. They are all great for different reasons (see above). I (Ross) am personally using Dr Young’s PuripHy at the moment, but I also like pH Booster. Callum is also a PuripHy fan at the moment but we’ve both used Plasma pH in the past and have like that too.

At the end of the day, all of the pH drops we sell are of the highest quality and they are all:

1. A potent source of alkalinity
2. Will structure the water to make it more hydrating
3. Will increase the pH of tap water to at least 8

So which is best for you depends on your own taste and how the pH drops work for you. But you can feel safe in the knowledge that whichever of our pH drops you try – you will be getting full value for money and the very best, most effective and potent pH drops on earth.

Why use pH drops?

pH drops, at a base level, all serve to do one thing extremely well: they increase the alkalinity of your drinking water. However, each brand also has a different benefits:

PuripHy: also detoxifies the water of acidic impurities such as yeasts, mycotoxins, molds and bacteria. PuripHy is also extra potent so each serve is only five drops –giving better value for money.

pH Booster: pH Booster ionises the water as well as alkalising it – which may improve your cells’ ability to conduct electrochemical signals.

Plasma pH: uses their unique blend (they call Vital Force Technology) to ensure you only need to use ten drops per litre, again offering great value for money.

Do I need to use pH drops if I already have a filter?

In short, yes – the ideal scenario is that you use an ioniser (such as a Jupiter) to ionise and purify the water and then add the pH drops.

Ionisers do two things. Firstly they filter the water. The level of filtration is superior to that of a standard water filter. Once filtered, the water then passes over electronic plates which separate positively charged (acidic) ions from negatively charged (alkaline) ones. A further benefit to the separation process of ionizing is that with non-ionised water minerals form clumps in water. The ionising process reduces the size of these clumps, which means that the remaining, negatively charged (alkalising) minerals (in smaller clumps) can be more easily assimilated and metabolised within the body.

So, in short – the ioniser separates the water into acidic and alkaline, filters out impurities and toxins and clusters the water to make it easier to metabolise.

pH drops substantially increase the pH of the water. When you add pH drops to water without filtering through an ioniser you still get high pH water – but the acidic mineral complexes remain present. The highly alkalising solution that you add has an over-riding effect on the water’s pH – but it is not ionized and therefore you don’t get the other benefits listed above.

Ionising also dramatically reduces (a good thing) the ORP (oxidation reduction potential) of water (ORP is how the antioxidant level of a substance is measured. The lower the ORP the greater antioxidants potential of the substance.). This also promotes the alkalising and de-toxifying effects of the water that the ioniser produces.

What do they taste like?

pH drops essentially have zero flavour. However, because they change the structure of the water (especially the pHion pH Booster) they change what is known as the ‘mouthfeel’ of the water. Water with pH Booster added tastes a little ‘thicker’. PuripHy and Alkavision have less of this effect and you generally can’t tell if your water has them added or not.

How many drops do I need?

This varies by product:

PuripHy: 5 drops per litre
pH Booster: 26 drops of Bottle 1 (ionising), 26 drops of Bottle 2 (pH boosting)
Plasma pH: 10 drops per litre

I strongly recommend you do not exceed this dose per litre!

[back to top]

How long do they last?

Again, this varies by product, but as a rough guide and if you're drinking 3 litres of water per day, pH Booster & Alkavision will last approximately one month, whereas because PuripHy is more potent (and you only need five drops per litre) it lasts around seven weeks. This is based on each product being used to treat three litres of water per day.

In terms of use-by dates - pH drops last almost forever! Of course, use by dates will vary but I challenge you to own one long enough for it to go out of date!

Can alkaline water affect my medication?

My honest answer is – I am not allowed to answer this question! Legally it is impossible! And even if I could it would depend on the medication in question! I strongly recommend you seek a nutritionally aware and informed medical professional and discuss your specific medication with them.

Can I add pH drops to hot water?

Hot water does not affect the efficacy of pH drops – so feel free to add to herbal teas.

What is in pH drops?

The contents of each varies, but it is generally a highly potent concentration of alkaline minerals including Sodium Bicarbonate, Magnesium Bicarbonate, potassium Bicarbonate and Calcium Bicarbonate. pHion’s pH Booster Ionic Solution contains 72 extra ionic minerals to help ionise the water.

How alkaline do they make the water?

In the testing we have done, each of these products raised the pH of tap water up to a level of between pH 8 and 9.5. Click here to see a video showing PuripHy being tested with a digital pH meter!

Can I Overdose on pH Drops?

I strongly, strongly recommend that you only use the suggested amounts on each product’s label. Basically, yes you can overdose. Never ingest without diluting to the correct proportions as per the manufacturers instructions & never be tempted to add more pH drops than recommended.

If diluting it would be difficult to overdose to the point of illness, but definitely not impossible. Any amount of overuse will have an adverse effect on your body.
