Penta Water

Penta Water

Penta Water is a brand of bottled water that is processed using a patented system that alters the structure of the water molecules to make them more easily absorbed by the body. The company claims that this process makes Penta Water more hydrating than regular water.

History

Penta Water was first introduced in the late 1990s by Bio-Hydration Research Lab, a company based in San Diego, California. The company was founded by Bill Holloway, a former professional baseball player who became interested in the health benefits of structured water after his career ended due to injury.

Production Process

The production process of Penta Water involves a patented system known as the Penta Process. This process includes several stages of purification and restructuring, which are claimed to alter the structure of the water molecules to make them more easily absorbed by the body.

Health Claims

Penta Water has been marketed as a healthier alternative to regular bottled water. The company claims that the water's altered molecular structure allows it to hydrate the body more effectively. However, these claims have been met with skepticism by some scientists and health professionals.

Controversies

In 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter to Bio-Hydration Research Lab, stating that the health claims made about Penta Water were not supported by scientific evidence. The company was also criticized for its marketing tactics, which included the use of celebrity endorsements.

Current Status

Despite the controversies, Penta Water continues to be sold in health food stores and online. The company has also expanded its product line to include flavored versions of its water.
