Why Minerals Matter?

Abstract World health trends are focusing on a balanced food and beverage intake for healthy life. Refined deep-sea water (RDSW), obtained from deep-sea water collected offshore in Muroto (Japan), is mineral-rich drinking water. We previously reported that drinking RDSW improves human gut health. Here, we analyzed the effect of drinking RDSW on the gut ecosystem […]

Abstract Using surface and deep seawater collected in the sea area of Muroto Cape (Kochi, Japan), desalinated drinking samples of about 1200 hardness were prepared and examined for the effects on the prevention of atherosclerosis in dietary induced hyperlipidemia rabbits. The plasma LDL cholesterol level was lower in the deep seawater group than in the

ABSTRACT Three different deep-seawater (DSW) treated by means of reverse osmosis (RO DSW), electrodialysis (ED DSW) and 10% (v/v) dilution with ddH2O (10% DSW) were as treated groups, while distilled water (NDW) was the control group. Body weight changes, feed and water intakes of high-cholesterol dietary mice were not (P < 0.05) influenced by drinking different waters.

Abstract It has been found that deep-sea water was associated with lower serum lipid in animal model studies. Herein, we investigated whether DSW exerted a hypolipidemic activity and further elucidated how DSW modulated lipid metabolism in HepG2 cells. Preliminary animal studies showed that DSW exhibited potency to decrease serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol,
