The Science.
Pure Glacier Water from Mt. Rainier, rich in natural trace minerals and naturally structured is infused with the patented and FDA approved ingredients of Alka-PlexLiquid™ to create this most advanced hydrating supplement.
- Clinical studies suggest that AKALI®:
- Hydrates More Efficiently
- Improves Metabolic Efficiency
- Promotes Natural Absorption of essential minerals
- AKALI® counters damaging acidic stress in the body
- Neutralize destructive acidic stress
- Improved sports endurance
- Faster recover from exercises induced fatigue
AKALI® provides essential trace minerals
Natural revitalizing properties of AKALI® provide and ideal supplement to counter the effects of aging, stress and fatigue.
It starts with a truly special water source...
Mt. Rainier's Carbon Glacier is unique among glaciers in that it flows off an active volcano. The geothermal energy from the Mountain's volcanic activity underneath it actually causes the glacier to melt primarily from deep beneath itself. This creates a cave at its terminus out of which pours pure melted glacial ice from the belly of the glacier that froze during the last ice age over ten thousand years ago. Furthermore, the Carbon Glacier is extremely rich in volcanic mineral deposits embedded throughout its 900-foot thickness, imparting rare qualities to the water.
...with naturally occurring molecular properties.
Drawn only seven miles from the actual terminus of the Carbon Glacier, our glacial water is harvested in an extremely pure state. Constantly running - it's original colloidal suspension never given a chance to settle - it is rich in bio-available trace minerals and possesses a naturally high oxygen content. Although the molecular behaviors of H2O continue to be debated by scientists, clinical evidence suggests that our glacial water may actually be naturally "structured". Theoretically, water in a "structured" (also known as "clustered") state is more easily absorbed by cells and thus rapidly increases intracellular hydration.
We then add cutting-edge technology.
The optimum blood pH in a healthy body is slightly alkaline and should fall within the narrow range of 7.35 and 7.45. The human body is constantly struggling to maintain this healthy alkaline pH level. Exposure to high stress, metabolic events ranging from marathon running to ailments, or even the natural aging process can affect this delicate acid/alkaline balance, weakening the body's defenses and causing loss of performance. Alka-Plex® is an innovative natural alkalizing solution which rapidly and safely counters the destructive effect of acidic stress.
Alka-Plex® is safe, highly effective, all natural, patented, and FDA approved.
The FDA has recognized Alka-Plex® as a new dietary ingredient (NDI). NDI status is recognized after submission and FDA review of product safety and uniformity data. Very few dietary supplements can withstand such scrutiny and NDI status is seldom attempted and even less often recognized. It is reported that the FDA rejects 87% of the NDI submissions.
Clinical Study
A double-blind clinical study was performed on the hydrating effects of AKALI® at the Movement Science/Human Performance Laboratory, Montana State University and published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition. It was hypothesized that rehydration would occur faster and more completely from the consumption of AKALI® as compared to a placebo (Pepsi's Aquafina® brand) water following a bout of intense exercise. The results were astounding.
For the study, a group of elite cyclists rode at 75% of their maximum power in a warm, humid environment until they recorded 2.5% weight loss. The athletes then moved to a cooler, less humid environment and consumed the weight of water they had lost during the ride within 30 minutes. The water retention rate was very different for the two waters. Akali was 79.2% retained while Aquafina was only 62.5% retained at the end of three hours. It demonstrated that 1.27 times as much Akali water was retained versus Aquafina.
Study conclusion: Akali rehydrates faster and more thoroughly.
"The Akali is definitely rehydrating people faster and more completely when they're dehydrated following exercise..."
Dan Heil - Associate Professor in Exercise Physiology Montana State University
"It contains a number of minerals that are condusive to rehydration... and properties that we see with rehydration."
