Abstract We demonstrate a delaying effect of deep-sea drinking water (DDW) containing enhanced magnesium ion (Mg(2 +)) and calcium ion (Ca(2 +)) concentrations on cataract development in Shumiya cataract rats (SCRs). The lenses of SCRs administered DDW-200 (Mg(2 +), 200 mg/L, Ca(2 +); 71 mg/L) were less opaque than those in SCRs administered purified water […]

Abstract Application of deep sea water (DSW) on preparation of green tea was evaluated. Green tea leaves were soaked in desalinated deep sea water (DSW) at 75°C for 10 min, and were evaluated for antioxidant activity and catechin content. DSW green tea showed higher antioxidant activity than green tea prepared with distilled water (DW). The

Abstract Recently, the scientific community has begun to establish the health benefits of deep-sea water (DSW) due to its enrichment in nutrients and minerals. In this study, we investigated the effects of deep-sea water (DSW) on the metastatic potential of two human breast cancer cell lines exhibiting highly different phenotypes. MDA-MB-231 cells exhibit invasive/metastatic tumor

Abstract Deep-sea water (DSW), which is rich in micronutrients and minerals and with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities, may be developed as marine drugs to provide intestinal protection against duodenal ulcers. We determined several characteristics in the modified DSW. We explored duodenal pressure, oxygenation, microvascular blood flow, and changes in pH and oxidative redox potential (ORP)

Abstract Background Deep oceans have been suggested as a possible site where the origin of life occurred. Along with this theoretical lineage, experiments using components from deep ocean water to recreate life is underway. Here, we propose that if terrestrial organisms indeed evolved from deep oceans, supply of deep ocean mineral water (DOM) to humans,

Abstract This study is to investigate the effect of deep sea water (DSW) on the exercise-induced fatigue of rats. The exhaustive exercise test on the treadmill and the measurement of biochemical values related to fatigue were conducted after the two-week feeding to male Wistar rats with different hardnesses DSW (DRO, D100, D600) in different dosages

Abstract Background: Hepatic steatosis is defined as excessive amounts of triglyceride and other fats inside liver cells and has become an emergent liver disease in developed and developing countries. Methods: Deep seawater (DSW)300, DSW900, and DSW1500 drinking waters were formulated via a combination of reverse osmosis and electrodialysis. Hamsters on a high-fat diet were assigned to drink

Abstract Deep-sea water intake reduces allergic skin responses and serum levels of total IgE, Japanese cedar pollen-specific IgE, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-6, IL-13, and IL-18 in patients with allergic rhinitis, while distilled water intake fails to do so.

Abstract Objective: The effect of drinking deep-sea water on hair minerals was studied in patients with atopic eczema/dermatitis syndrome (AEDS). Study of hair minerals revealed an imbalance of essential minerals and an increase in toxic minerals in AEDS patients. Design: After drinking deep-sea water (Amami no Mizu) for 6 months in AEDS patients, hair minerals (essential minerals
