“The body is made up of 75% water and drinking Kangen Water® is the missing link to overall health and performance for athletes. Bottled water, sodas, and sports drinks are all acidic - even if they are purified - causing the body to be more acidic. Anything acidic is more prone to disease, sickness, and illness.”

-Shan Stratton, Sports Nutritional Consultant

He has worked with countless famous athletes like Kurt Warner, Maria Sharapova, Reggie Jackson, Cynthia Cooper, and so many more.

Athletes are always looking to take their performance to the next level. We are witnessing remarkable advancements that are revolutionizing the way athletes perform and recover. The introduction of Hydrogen-Rich Kangen Water®, has opened up new possibilities to optimize athletic performance for numerous individuals engaged in all sports, including football, triathlons, baseball, basketball, and wrestling. Runners are achieving faster times, hockey players are experiencing fewer body aches, gymnasts are enhancing their flexibility, and even recreational athletes are building better muscle definition with reduced strain.

After all, with the human body consisting of approximately 75% water, athletes are paying increasingly more attention to the beverages they drink. This is more than just a trend. Molecular hydrogen has a therapeutic as well as enhanced performance effect on the human body. Check out our research section to see how this works.

  • 6 times Better Hydration (1 glass of Kangen Water® = the hydration equivalent of 6 glasses of bottled or tap water)

  • Removal of Metabolic Acids

  • Faster Muscle Recovery

  • Significant Reduction of Cramping (due to higher water absorption)

  • Stronger Performance

  • Superior Mental Focus (due to brain hydration)

  • Longer Endurance and Stamina

  • Greater Flexibility and Muscular Movement

  • Superior Electrolyte Replenishment

During heavy physical exertion, metabolic acids, such as lactic and pyruvic acid, cause a burning sensation in the muscles, muscle fatigue, and weakness hindering further muscle exertion until a period of recovery.  Also occurring is an increase in ‘reactive oxygen species' (ROS), altering the redox balance and increasing oxidative stress, which can cause damage directly to cells, which are associated with increased fatigue and loss of performance. 

Many athletes ingest supplements to increase the antioxidant response, shorten their recovery time, and improve their performance. Most antioxidant supplements are limited in their cellular distributions, while molecular hydrogen has the ability to penetrate bio membranes and go inside the cell, acts as an efficient antioxidant with rapid diffusion into living tissues and cells. Hydrogen-rich Kangen Water® provides athletes with the the antioxidants they need to maintain a high level of performance and recover quickly.

The exceptional hydration properties offered by Hydrogen-Rich Kangen Water® play a pivotal role in optimizing athletic performance. The lightning-fast electrical signaling, increased oxygen delivery to cells, and efficient removal of acidic waste all contribute to superior performance. Moreover, this type of hydration reaches every cell in the body. Conventional hydration drinks used by athletes often have high levels of acidity, which deplete the body of alkalinizing minerals and extract vital calcium from bones, cartilage, and tissues.

Hydrogen-Rich Kangen Water® allows for faster absorption into tissues compared to other water types due to fewer molecules per cluster, called microclustering, allowing the water as well as the negatively charged ions to enter the cells through aquaporins in much larger quantities and at a faster rate.

Metabolic acids are more efficiently removed with better hydration, resulting in faster recovery times and reduced micro scar tissue and weakness caused by the acids. Since Hydrogen-Rich Kangen Water® is alkalized (has an electrical charge), its higher alkalinity further accelerates the elimination of acidic residue, minimizing the risk of injury. Even slight changes in pH can significantly impact performance since muscles function optimally within a narrow pH range.

  • High amounts of Antioxidants (5x more than green tea) to restore muscles and reduce inflammation.

  • Microclustered water (4-6 H2O molecules/cluster compared to 16-25 H2O molecules/cluster for bottled beverages/tap water) penetrates cellular walls 6x more efficiently to transport in nutrients and oxygen for superior hydration, performance, endurance, mental focus, and to flush out toxins and acids in the cells and muscular tissue for more efficient muscle recovery.

  • Negatively charged ions which are attracted to the positively charged cell recharging and revitalizing the cell.

  • Naturally-occurring Alkaline water (can choose between pH 8.5, 9.0, and 9.5) to flush out lactic acid and uric acid for faster muscle recovery and reduced micro scar tissue and weakness. (Conventional sports drinks have a pH of 3.5 adding to the acidic load in the body).

Tom Brady drinks Kangen Water®

Lightheart came out of retirement to win the Canadian Natural Bodybuilding Championship.

Lightheart wrote a book about his experience, and he says that within days of drinking the water, he lost a significant amount of body fat and was able to train more than double his peak volume levels with no pain, no fatigue, and no inflammation.

He also presents in his book critical information about hydration, dehydration, acid-alkaline balance, and the role of free radical damage in relation to sports injury. He shows how others can use Kangen Water® to dramatically speed up recovery times, improve VO2 MAX (oxygen carrying capacity), and decrease the chance of injury.

A father, husband, cyclist, and a dentist, Eckert does bike races and commutes on his bike regularly. He lives in a hot part of the country and his muscle cramps have reduced significantly. He is much more hydrated and can compete at a much higher level. His performance is better and his whole family drinks Kangen Water® too.

Williams used to feel lethargic as she was running 50-100 mile ultramarathons. After drinking Kangen Water®, even after 50 miles, she felt like she "could take on the world." The difference was noticeable and she felt more energized. She strongly believes that ultramarathon runners should be drinking Kangen Water®. She drinks the water all day and will never drink any other water besides Kangen Water®.

Electrolytes are minerals that become electrically charged ions once they are dissolved in water. Electrolytes include sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, phosphate, and bicarbonate which are all naturally found in the body.

While the human body relies on electrical impulses for many of its vital functions, we lose electrolytes as we sweat.


Sports drinks add in minerals, but typically do not contain all electrolytes, and most of these electrolytes remain outside of the cell wall. Sports drinks also contain high amounts of processed sugar or artificial sweeteners, dyes, plastic contaminants, and additives.

They are also highly acidic which adds oxidative stress to the body potentially leading to cell and tissue damage.

Because Kangen Water® separates the positive and the negative ions in the electrolysis process, a high quantity of naturally occurring electrolytes are produced and made immediately available to the body. There are no additives, dyes, processed sugar, or artificial sweeteners. Additionally, the microclustering allows the electrolytes to enter inside and recharge the cell. The antioxidants in the water reduce oxidative stress and support the revitalization of cells.
