Hey, what's going on? I'm LaPrentiss Demond. In this video, we are going to do a water battle. It is between Alkaline88 vs Essentia.
Let's go ahead and get these poured up. And this one has a little bit of a dip but we're still gonna use it anyhow. This looks like it got dropped.
All right, we've got Alkaline88 which I believe is owned by Shaquille O'Neal. I think. I think Shaq owns this. So he is, he's been in a lot of commercials about it.
So either he owns it or he has some take in it. And right here we are going to put it up against Essentia Water.
Was a brand that a lot of people love when they're looking for an alkaline bottled water. All right, we're gonna test this for three specific properties. The first one is antioxidants.
And this one is the most important one. And the reason why it's 'cause we have all these things around us known as free radicals.
They come in and they take electrons from our healthy cells. This creates oxidation and inflammation in the body, which ultimately leads to sickness and disease.
So something, a beverage or food that is oxidizing is positively charged and creates rust once again dis sickness and disease. A great example, this banana.
This banana is starting to oxidize. It was good. Now it's starting to get ugly. An antioxidant is something that actually provides extra electrons to those cells which reduces that inflammation brings down that oxidation and it's essentially the fountain of youth.
This is how we stay looking young and healthy. And those are negatively charged. So what we're gonna do here is we're gonna use this O R P meter.
And if once again, if we get a positive number it's oxidizing us, it's causing us more harm than good. And if it's a negative number it's an antioxidant.
1. Alkaline88 vs Essentia: Antioxidants
Here we go. Let's see what we get with Alkaline88. And we are getting a positive 196. So that means this is oxidizing. This is doubling up. Yep, this is even going up further.
So 1 over 200. Let's see what we get with Essentia Water. When they're overachieving H2O. All right. So this one actually dropped a little bit. It's down to 175, 176.
But they're still oxidizing. However, in this battle it looks like Essentia is less oxidizing than Alkaline88. But once again, they're both doing us harm, right?
So, let's see if I have a water here that is actually anti oxidizing. So if you're looking for one this one will actually do the trick. We're gonna check it out in a minute.
This is known as electrolytes-reduced water. Okay? So, go ahead and keep this over to the side, off screen. Let's see what we get as far as the ORP reading on here.
And as you see, oh my gosh, you see that dash? Check that dash, we are getting a negative 770, okay? And that is very, very anti oxidizing, right? So check that out.
And if you're curious about if there is a water that has an antioxidant, there you go. There you have it. And it is that electrolytes-reduced water.
So as far as the first test goes we're gonna give it to Alkaline88. Just because it was, wait, wait, wait. Nope, sorry.
We're gonna give it to Essentia because it was around 175 while this one actually hit over 200. Let's go ahead and take a look at the second test.
2. Alkaline88 vs Essentia: Alkalinity
Alright, that second test is known as alkalinity. We want to assure that what we're drinking is actually slightly alkaline and not acidic. Okay?
Sickness and disease thrives in an acidic environment. And so we want to ensure the waters and beverages we're drinking actually are alkaline and neutralized acidity that we're consuming day in and day out.
So, what we're gonna do here is we're gonna use these pH drops. And we're gonna put 'em in the waters here.
Now, if we see a red, an orange, or a yellow that means it's acidic and it is actually causing us to eat the minerals and electrolytes that are in our body.
However, if we see a blue, a purple or dark purple, that means it is alkaline and is bringing balance to our body.
Really quick, before I show you this pH if you're curious about what this water is and how you get have it in the comfort of your home,
feel free to check out the pin link below this video or look into the description and click that link there and it'll take you directly to my class on how you can have this water in the comfort of your home.
All right, let's see what we get. Actually, let's put a little bit more here so we can see it. All right, so it looks like per just the initial standings it looks like Alkaline88 is not as strong as the Essentia.
And then both of these look about even. So what we're gonna do now because they're all showing alkaline is I want to test it.
So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna use this straw right here. I'm gonna blow into each of these and see what happens when it actually goes against some acidity, right?
Because we're consuming things all the time. And we want to ensure that the water we're drinking, if it's gonna be alkaline is gonna actually neutralize that acidity that we're taking in.
Let's start off with Alkaline88. Ah man, well, there you have it. That's the true color of Alkaline88. It shows up a yellow, which I believe is a 6 or a 5 on the chart.
Let me know when the comments. Let's go and take a look at Essentia. All right, there you have it. Essentia is also yellow, right?
So when we actually get down to it they're both exactly the same. Really quick, we'll just check this one out to make sure, 'cause it may just do the same thing.
All right, so this one's not gonna change. The reason why is because both of these are chemically altered. They're adding chemicals to make these appear alkaline.
So there you have it, they're gonna change. This one's not gonna change 'cause there's no chemicals added. This is done electrically. Which is very different.
All right, so there you have it. As far as the pH goes I wanna say these two are tied. Let's go ahead and take a look at the third and final test between Alkaline88 and Essentia Water.
3. Alkaline88 vs Essentia: Superior Hydration
All right, onto that third and final test. This one I'd like to call superior hydration. And pretty much what we want is we want our water to actually be absorbed.
We don't want it sitting in our stomach. Like if you do a big, big jug of this Alkaline88 or the Essentia, you want it to actually go to work and actually start hydrating you at a cellular level.
You don't want to sit in your stomach and be like, whoa, I can't do anything I can't do anything. So, this is just a bigger representation of what could happen.
So we're gonna use tea. We're gonna make tea. What we're gonna do is we're gonna take this dehydrated tea bag and we're gonna try to hydrate it.
And if the water is actually small enough it'll actually be able to pass through and make tea at a pretty quick rate. Okay?
So I mean, eventually they can all do it. But the question is how how long does it take? Let's go ahead and check out Alkaline88. All right, so let's see what we get here. All right.
We're going to give it a few bounces. And as you see, it does make something, right? But I don't think it's a lot. Let's go ahead and check out Essentia.
Put this right here. Look at that. It immediately starts making tea. It's pretty crazy, right? So between these two the Essentia is gonna hydrate you or it's gonna actually get into your cells better.
Looks like the Alkaline88 isn't going to do as well. But, let's check it out one more time. There's a very good reason why this is happening. I'm gonna share it in a moment.
But I just wanna see if Alkaline88 could actually pull through it. Poured it too fast. Yeah, man, it is not, it is not hydrating nowhere near as great as Essentia Water.
Let's try it one more time. All right. Yeah. It's just not doing it as well as Essentia Water. And the reason why Essentia Water is doing well is because it's ionized.
Which means, just like that electrolytes-reduced water. I showed you earlier, it's smaller shocked, right?
The smaller water, smaller clusters of water and that's why it is actually able to make tea much quicker, much better than the Alkaline88. All right, so I'll put this here.
Your Alkaline88. There is the Essentia, right? So both of those do fairly well. Well actually, Essentia is clearly the winner in this, right?
Yeah, and you can see it right now just a little bit darker. I just wanna see, compared to this water here. Much darker, much darker than Essentia why is that?
The reason why is 'cause this is fresh. This is fresh water. The problem with Essentia and the reason why it's not a big strong candidate, is back in that first test that we did, it's oxidizing.
It's oxidizing, it is dead water. It's dead water, that's in smaller clusters. That's pretty much it. So there you have it. There's a test on these two waters Alkaline88 and Essentia.
I'm trying not to drink this. But really quick, let's do a quick recap. We tested these waters for three specific things.
The first one was anti oxidants and we saw that they were both oxidizing us. Which means they're creating sickness and disease in the body and ultimately leading to inflammation.
So they're both not the best to drink and that's the most important test of these three. However, if we had to pick one Essentia would be the winner in that first round.
The second round we tested for was alkalinity. Because, we wanna share what we're drinking neutralizes the cookies, the cakes and ice creams that we consume, right?
And in this test, while Essentia looked better, when we actually tested 'em with acidity, they both came out the same. So we're gonna call that a tie there.
Last but not least, we tested it for superior hydration to see which one hydrates better. And Essentia hydrates you at a better cellular rate, than Alkaline88.
Unfortunately, it's not the best though but between these two it definitely hydrates you better. Sorry Shaq, Alkaline88 is out. And the winner for this battle would be Essentia.
