Aǹalemma water improves microbiome quality

Our gut is home to trillions of microbes that help our digestion and overall health. Can drinking Aǹalemma water improve the quality of our gut microbiome? Our latest study says yes!

In 2023, we conducted a clinical trial on 16 participants, randomly divided into two groups in a double-blind setup. After 3 months, the group drinking Aǹalemma water had a more balanced gut microbiome than the Placebo group, without changing anything else about their lifestyle.

OVERVIEW OF THE CLINICAL TRIAL

PARTICIPANTS:

16 healthy adults aged 18 to 70.

STUDY DESIGN:

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled — the “gold standard” in scientific research where neither the participants nor the medical personnel knows who is receiving the treatment and who is receiving the Placebo.

TREATMENT:

The treatment phase consisted of drinking 50 oz (1.5 L) of Aǹalemma water or Placebo for 100 consecutive days.

RESULTS:

The study found that consuming Aǹalemma water improves the gut dysbiosis score by 16% over Placebo, indicating improved balance of the gut microbiome.

What is the gut microbiome?

The human digestive tract is lined with trillions of microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, which are constantly at work to support our wellbeing. Gut microbes break down the food we eat, help us absorb nutrients, and produce short-chain fatty acids, an important source of energy for our cells.

In collaboration with the immune system, our gut microbes protect our body from harmful pathogens and even help prevent autoimmune responses. Studies have also shown that changes in the gut microbiome affect our mood and behavior through production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, playing a significant role in conditions such as anxiety and depression.

A healthy diet and an efficient exercise routine can do wonders for keeping the gut microbiome in a healthy state. But there’s another way you can support your gut. As our recent double-blind study indicates, drinking coherent water could be a new, groundbreaking way to improve the balance of your gut microbiome.

How did we analyze the state of the gut microbiome?

We performed this study in collaboration with Biovis Diagnostik, a research company that specializes in human microbiome research. They developed a laboratory test which analyzes something called the dysbiosis index, a comprehensive measure of the health of the human gut.

The test takes into account many different factors. For instance, one of the measured parameters is the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, its name inspired by the two largest groups of bacteria making up the human gut microbiome. The ratio between these two groups reveals important insights into the overall state of the gut, with skewed ratios commonly found in metabolic diseases such as diabetes.

The dysbiosis index also includes parameters like presence of pathogenic fungi (such as Candida), but also the presence of beneficial bacteria, such as butyrate-producing bacteria. Based on all of these aspects, a final score is obtained, illustrating the overall state of the gut microbiome.

Incredible results in only 3 months!

After only 3 months of regular consumption of Aǹalemma water, participants experienced an average 16% improvement in the dysbiosis index, compared to those who consumed Placebo.

When we looked at the overall number of participants who experienced any improvement in the gut microbiome, we found that 88% of participants who consumed Aǹalemma water experienced at least some improvement in the dysbiosis index, compared to only 38% of the Placebo group.

Similarly, compared to the Placebo group, a higher percentage of participants in the Aǹalemma group experienced either a decline or stable levels of the 11 bacterial species with known pathogenic effects. These findings suggest a positive effect of Aǹalemma water on the human gut, improving the all-important balance between beneficial and harmful microbes in our gut.

Balance your gut with coherent water

The results of this study demonstrate the positive effects of high-quality coherent water on the state of our microbiome. But this is not where the story ends. The constant crosstalk between our own cells and the microbes in our gut affects all other areas of our health and wellbeing.

Gut microbes are modulating our immune responses from birth, teaching our bodies to tell the difference between harmful pathogens and our own, safe biomolecules. They are orchestrating the production of neurotransmitters that determine how we feel from day to day, shaping the fabric of our relationship with the world. And now, we can support our microbiome by changing the physical state of the water we drink.

This is what makes Aǹalemma a true revolution in water treatment. We need to drink water to survive, so why not choose the best one there is?
