Improving Efficacy with Better Water

Despite being the largest ingredient in our beverages, water itself is rarely considered a functional ingredient in formulating. Now it can be. Our patented technology dramatically increases the efficacy of functional beverages through the addition of ultrafine bubbles, delivering improved hydration, nutrient uptake, gut health, sensory benefits and flavor modulation.

Clinical trials, including a groundbreaking double-blind crossover study with athletes, have demonstrated the profound impact of our technology. Athletes consuming Hydrosome H2O, as opposed to traditional spring water, experienced superior hydration both during and after rigorous exercise. This advanced hydration capability not only improves physical performance and recovery but also enhances effectiveness by boosting the body’s absorption of vital nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes.

Pre-Clinical trials have demonstrated the ability of Hydrosome H2O to modify the gut microbiome, leading to increases in short chain fatty acids and decreases in inflammatory markers. Also, by filling ultrafine bubbles with different gases, it is possible to deliver different sensory profiles to various beverages.

Our Ultrafine Bubble Technology Delivers Improved Hydration, Sensory and Health Benefits

Faster Hydration

Hydrosome H2O has been shown to rehydrate up to 25% faster, and in clinical trials, athletes remained up to 50% better hydrated 2 hours after exercise.

Improved Nutrient Uptake

Hydrosome H2O has been shown to more than double the uptake of critical nutrients, delivering measurable benefits in functional beverage clinical trials.

Healthier Gut Biome

Hydrosome H2O has been shown in pre-clinical testing to modify the composition of the gut microbiome while increasing important markers like short chain fatty acids and decreasing inflammatory markers.

Improved Taste Profile

The ultrafine bubbles created by our technology have the ability to modulate and improve the flavor profile of beverages when filled with different gases.

How Our Ultrafine Bubbles Are Made

It Begins With Tap

Our patented process begins with the base level of potable water

Step 2 Dionization

We apply a treatment technology that applies electricity, ion exchange, or
resins to produce ultra-purified water

Step 3 Our Patented Process Creates Hydrosome H2O

Through the application of specific pressure and energy we impart a highly stable form of ultrafine bubbles in water

Step 1: Reverse Osmosis

We remove biological and chemical particles by passing the water through a membrane

Ultra Pure Water

The process creates a purified water at it’s highest level, only elemental H2O

The Result

Our process drastically increases the bioavailability of water and the nutrients it carries. This leads to faster hydration, deeper absorption, increased cell nutrient levels, and greater efficacy. Our system works without the use of chemicals or other enhancers
