What Is Electrolyzed Water

Electrolyzed water usually refers to the product generated by electrolyzing water containing salt (such as sodium chloride). After electrolysis, the water itself is neutral and can be mixed with other ions or separated by a semi permeable membrane to produce water with two different properties. One of them is alkaline ionized water, and the other is acidic ionized water. Electrolyzed water containing sodium chloride as the electrolyte will contain sodium hydroxide, hypochlorous acid, and sodium hypochlorite after electrolysis (if pure water is electrolyzed, only hydroxide ions, hydrogen gas, oxygen, and hydrogen ions will be produced).
Under certain conditions, the acidic electrolyzed water produced after electrolysis has bactericidal properties. According to the principle of electrolysis, the oxygen generated at the electrode will react with chloride to form an aqueous solution of hypochlorite or chlorite ions at lower pH values (e.g. pH<2.7).
In addition, although some advertisements claim that alkaline electrolyzed water has the purpose of "neutralizing acidic constitution", in reality, when the alkaline water produced by electrolysis reaches the stomach, it will be turned into acid by strong acidic stomach acid.
