To test the safety, quality, content, and structure of Nariwa water, extensive analyses have been conducted by independent laboratories and testing sites. This water meets or exceeds all U.S. FDA & EPA standards, as well as standards established by the Japanese government. Reports are on file at the Institute and are available for review.

Nariwa has also been tested to determine its mineral content, both in the U.S. and Japan. Up to 74 minerals have been detected at safe levels, including trace minerals that are not commonly found in other water sources or soil. It has been verified that the pH of Nariwa is between 7.6 and 8.0, making it slightly, but effectively alkaline. This is important in helping to keep body fluids from becoming overly acidic.

Report on Structure of Nariwa Naturally Magnetized Water by Dr. Klaus Kronenberg, World Renowned Physicist and Authority on Magnetic Water Conditioning Systems.

"My first investigation of samples of this naturally magnetized water indicates that the structure of the molecular clusters in this water is indeed fragmented or separated.

The multitude of minerals in this water, which are exposed to magnetism, produces the unusual and varied structures of crystals in long, branched spikes, twisted shapes and star-shaped crystal groups. The abundance of crystals growing from the centers occurs only in highly fractured water.

One main feature is that the fragmented crystal formations in this water are smaller in size than in water treated artificially by magnetic devices. Also, the molecular clusters appear smaller and more compact.

Every feature of the crystallization in this water indicates strong influences of an unusual water structure. What remains unexplained to me is the fact that this water has retained its fractured structure over long periods of time and through various handlings, like bottling and transportation."
