Alkaline water is one of those things that sounds either super fancy or super unnecessary. I used to think the same. Like, why complicate something as simple as water? But somewhere between reading about the benefits and watching a friend (who rarely drinks water, btw) suddenly become obsessed with her new alkaline ionizer, I got curious. So, I did what most of us do. I Googled everything. Then I bought one — an OSG alkaline ionizer, to be specific. It looked sleek, didn’t take up half my kitchen counter, and didn’t feel like a complicated science project. And now that I’ve been using it for a while, I wanted to share the real stuff, not just the shiny marketing lines.
