Clinical Study Mineral Water
The study involved 100 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, equally divided into an intervention group and a control group, each consisting of 50 women. The intervention group received calcium D daily, 1.5 liters of alkaline water daily with a pH of 8.6 ± 0.3, and a weekly Osteofos tablet (70 mg). The control group received only calcium D and the Osteofos tablet. The study duration was three months, and bone mineral density was measured using bone densitometry for the femur and spine, both before and after the intervention.
After the three-month intervention, both groups showed significant increases in the mean T-scores of the femur and spine bones. Notably, the increase in the spine T-scores was significantly greater in the intervention group compared to the control group. However, there were no significant differences in the changes in the femur T-scores between the two groups.

Clinical Study Diarrhoea
In this study, twenty-seven patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome were divided into two groups: one group that drank at least 2 liters of alkaline-reduced water a day, and a control group that drank placebo water. The duration of the experiment was eight weeks, during which symptom scores (including quality of life and abdominal pain/discomfort), stool form, and frequency were evaluated via questionnaires both before and after the treatment duration.
The results indicated that an overall greater percentage of patients in the alkaline-reduced water group experienced symptom improvement across the majority of the treatment period compared to the control group. Specifically, the quality of life score in the alkaline-reduced water group significantly improved, a change which was significantly more substantial than the minor improvement seen in the control group. The report about abdominal pain also showed its reduction in both groups, but this change did not significantly differ between the two groups.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are research studies that involve people and are conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new treatments or interventions, such as drugs, medical devices, or behavioural therapies.
