I too have read how microhydrin produces a greater value on the negative redox scale when compared to electrolyzed water. I thought about it and would rather have a water ionizer. With an ionizer I can flood my body with a liberal supply of reduced water during the day as opposed to popping expensive pills. In the long run I think that the ionizer in cheaper, and with more liberal use could produce a greater effect than a more restricted use of microhydrin.The pills would be good for traveling. Also the ionizer provides alkaline minerals bound to hydroxyl ions that when liberated releases both the mineral and bound oxygen. Also the water produced is wetter as it has a reduced cluster size which allows the water to squeeze into tight spaces more easily allowing more efficient hydration ( microhydrin does this too).
