Why Structured Water is the Best Choice for Health
What Are The Benefits to Consuming Structured Water?
As health and wellness evolve beyond conventional approaches, structured water is gaining recognition as a means to support better health, deeper hydration, enhanced cellular function, and spiritual balance. For those who work with energy including individuals who meditate, fast, or practice energy work, structured water is becoming a resource to support both physical and energetic health. For those who are seeking to heal or fight illness, structured water provides many advantages to give the body a boost.
But what exactly is structured water—and what does the science (and spirituality) say about it?
What Is Structured Water?
Structured water—sometimes called hexagonal water—is water whose molecules are arranged into organized, hexagonal clusters, as seen in pristine waters, holy water and healthy natural water. This is a significant molecular difference when compared to abnormal clusters seen in tap, polluted water, bottled water or even filtered water.
Rius's structured water clusters resembles pristine waters. This water forms better interactions with your biological systems, supporting more efficient hydration and communication at the cellular level. More so, Rius Water, for instance, uses developed methods and approaches to not only structure water but to maximize its energetic signature, in a sense, bringing lifeforce back to the water we drink.
Enhanced Hydration and Cellular Function
One advantage of structured water is its superior ability to hydrate the body at a cellular level.
A clinical study by Korotkov et al. (2019) examined the physiological effects of structured water in human participants. Those who consumed one liter of structured water daily for a month showed measurable improvements in hydration, kidney function, and heart rate variability—an indicator of nervous system balance and stress adaptation.
Similarly, a 2021 scientific review by Dr. Michael Lindinger noted that animals consuming structured water had improved cellular hydration, metabolic health, and reduced oxidative stress. Tissues showed greater electrical conductivity, suggesting improved communication and fluid balance at the cellular level (Journal of Animal Science, 2021).
These findings align with the experiences our customers have when working with our structured water. Unlike regular water, structured water may penetrate cells more easily, facilitating improved nutrient transport, detoxification, and electrical signaling. Our water is also naturally at a higher pH with no additives or modifications. This helps boost recoveries and combat illness. (www.RiusWater.com)
Increased Energy and Detoxification Support
Structured water appears to do more than just hydrate—it also helps the body generate energy and eliminate toxins.
According to Dr. Gerald Pollack, professor of bioengineering at the University of Washington, structured water holds electrical potential energy—kind of like a biological battery. This stored energy can be tapped by cells for various functions. Structured water has been shown to enhance mitochondrial efficiency, improve redox balance, and support organ detoxification (Pollack, 2013; Lindinger, 2021).
In the Korotkov trial, participants who drank structured water experienced improvements in kidney filtration, lower creatinine levels, and reduced endogenous toxicity, as measured by biochemical markers. At the same time, their bioenergetic field (as assessed by gas discharge visualization) became more coherent and stronger.
Rius Water has designed our water to be a catalyst both energetically and for detoxification. This makes our structured water especially valuable for those engaging in fasting, cleansing, plant medicine or spiritual retreats, where detoxification plays a significant role.
Energetic and Spiritual Dimensions
For those in the spiritual and energy-healing communities, structured water resonates far beyond the physical.
Water is widely acknowledged as a conductor of vibrational energy. Research inspired by Dr. Masaru Emoto famously demonstrated that water exposed to positive intentions—such as love, gratitude, or healing—formed beautiful, symmetric crystals when frozen, whereas water exposed to negative thoughts produced chaotic, disorganized patterns.
While controversial in mainstream science, Emoto's work aligns with the experience of many who practice energy work, sound healing, Reiki, or intentional prayer. Water may be able to record frequencies and intentions, acting as a carrier of energy throughout the body.
Rius Water embraces this perspective, noting that their water holds positive vibrational charge and is structured to amplify healing frequencies and lifeforce. Rius structured water helps balance all seven chakras and promotes emotional harmony and mindfulness.
This aligns beautifully with meditation, fasting, plant medicine work, energy work and intention-setting practices, where energetic clarity and resonance are essential. Whether you’re using it during morning breathwork or as part of your pre-meditation ritual, structured water becomes a medium for spiritual coherence.
What the Science Tells Us (and What It Doesn’t)
While structured water is supported by intriguing findings in cell biology and bioenergetics, it's important to note that comprehensive, large-scale human studies are still limited.
That said, peer-reviewed studies have shown:
- Water layers form naturally along hydrophilic (water-loving) surfaces in the body, often behaving differently from regular bulk water (Higgins et al., 2006).
- Structured water improves hydration and antioxidant capacity in animals and may improve cardiovascular and renal function in humans (Lindinger, 2021; Korotkov et al., 2019).
- Structured water has been observed to influence cellular communication, energy transport, and detoxification pathways.
Although more rigorous human trials are needed, the current data—combined with thousands of anecdotal reports—suggests structured water is a significant contributor to wellness through the art of hydration.
Experience the Benefits with Rius Water
Structured water is not just a health trend—it's a return to how water behaves in nature, in our cells, and possibly even in the cosmos. Whether you're embarking on a water fast, seeking energetic alignment, or simply want to feel more hydrated, clear, and vibrant, structured water could be a powerful addition to your daily ritual.
