Drinking Refined Deep-Sea Water Improves the Gut Ecosystem with Beneficial Effects on Intestinal Health in Humans: A Randomized Double-Blind Controlled Trial

Abstract World health trends are focusing on a balanced food and beverage intake for healthy life. Refined deep-sea water (RDSW), obtained from deep-sea water collected offshore in Muroto (Japan), is mineral-rich drinking water. We previously reported that drinking RDSW improves human gut health. Here, we analyzed the effect of drinking RDSW on the gut ecosystem […]

Effect of Extract-Added Water Derived from Deep-Sea Water with Different Hardness on Cognitive Function, Motor Ability and Serum Indexes of Obese Mice

Abstract Deep-sea water (DSW) contains multiple minerals and is widely used as drinking water, for cosmetic purposes, and as seasoning. In this study, several types of extract-added water with different levels of hardness (200, 300, 500) were prepared from DSW collected off the coast of Muroto City, Kochi Prefecture. We administrated it to obese mice

Effects of desalted deep seawater on hematologic and blood chemical values in mice

Abstract Various processed foods and beverages have been manufactured using deep seawater (DSW), desalted DSW (dDSW), and concentrated DSW in Japan. To confirm the safety of dDSW, we investigated hematologic and blood chemical effects of dDSW in mice. The dDSW and desalted surface seawater (dSSW) were diluted to 6.7%, 10%, and 20% with purified water.

Sources and Deficiency Diseases of Mineral Nutrients in Human Health and Nutrition: A Review

Abstract Mineral nutrients are fundamentally metals and other inorganic compounds. The life cycle of these mineral nutrients begins in soil, their primary source. Soil provides minerals to plants and through the plants the minerals go to animals and humans; animal products are also the source of mineral nutrients for humans. Plant foods contain almost all

The influence of natural mineral water on aquaporin water permeability and human natural killer cell activity

Abstract Aquaporins are the intrinsic membrane proteins functioning as water channel to transport water and/or mineral nutrients across the biological membrane systems. In this research, we aimed to clarify if the selected mineral water can affect aquaporin functions in vitro and the assumption of the mineral water can modify aquaporin expression and activate natural killer

The consumption of low-mineral bottled water increases the risk of cardiovascular disease: An experimental study of rabbits and young men

Abstract Although bottled water has become increasingly popular worldwide, few of these products have an optimal mineral profile. More than half (59%) of the commercial bottled water consumed worldwide is purified water, and the remaining 41% is primarily spring or natural mineral water [ [1] ]. Meanwhile, there has been a rapid increase in the

Population data on calcium in drinking water and hip fracture: An association may depend on other minerals in water. A NOREPOS study

Abstract Background: The Norwegian population has among the highest hip fracture rates in the world. The incidence varies geographically, also within Norway. Calcium in drinking water has been found to be beneficially associated with bone health in some studies, but not in all. In most previous studies, other minerals in water have not been taken into

The influence of South African mineral water on reduction of risk of calcium oxalate kidney stone formation

Abstract Objectives: This study was undertaken to identify a South African mineral water containing relatively high concentrations of calcium and magnesium and to investigate its effect on urinary biochemical and physicochemical risk factors associated with calcium oxalate kidney stone formation. Design: The study followed a change-over design in which each subject followed a randomised sequence of three
