This water technology organizes the water molecules into highly structured crystalline forms that are able to penetrate fully into cells for total hydration. Most water is so disorganized from being treated with harsh chemicals, having been stored without movement, and being pushed through pipes that the molecules are far too large to penetrate into the cells of our bodies. Thus we take in water but do not actually rehydrate. Water naturally moves in a spiral and this is what keeps it structured and organized and able to hold infinite amounts of information. Our technology structures the water. Powerful magnetic and infrared sources reduce the size of individual water clusters, creating Hexagonal Water for more efficient and rapid penetration into the cells of your body.

Xanthomonas campestris is the same bacteria responsible for causing black spots to form on broccoli, cauliflower, and other leafy vegetables. The bacteria form a slippery substance which acts as a natural stabilizer or thickener. Xanthan gum is considered a polysaccharide in scientific circles, because it is a long chain of three different forms of sugar. Whats important to know is that all three of these natural sugars are present in corn sugar. Despite the use of bacteria during processing, xanthan gum itself is safe to human skin or digestive systems.
