Frequently Asked Questions
- Low Deuterium Water (LDW), sometimes called Deuterium-Depleted Water (DDW), is water in which the concentration of deuterium (a naturally occurring heavy isotope of hydrogen) has been significantly reduced. This subtle change in isotopic content can influence cellular processes and metabolic functions.
- Regular water typically contains around 150 parts per million (ppm) of deuterium. Higher levels of deuterium may affect mitochondrial efficiency, energy metabolism, and cellular repair. By reducing deuterium levels, LDW may help support improved cellular function, energy balance, and metabolic health.
- LDW is produced via specialist processes such as isotopic separation (to reduce deuterium) combined with advanced purification and distillation techniques. Our facility in Hyderabad ensures rigorous control of deuterium concentration, purity, and packaging standards.
- You can order Amrete LDW directly from our website [amrete.com] or through selected e-commerce platforms (e.g., Amazon, Flipkart). We also supply certified distributors and wellness clinics—please contact us for reseller info.
- Yes. LDW can be used for all typical uses of water: drinking, making tea/coffee, smoothies, infused water, protein shakes, cooking and even applications like urban farming or brewing—where lower deuterium may be beneficial.
- The cost is higher because the production process involves specialised isotope separation, high-grade purification, quality control, and compliance with wellness standards. These steps ensure the product meets the low deuterium specification and retains minerals that support taste.
- There are no known adverse side-effects from consuming LDW in healthy adults. However, individuals with specific medical conditions, allergies or those on targeted therapies should consult their healthcare provider prior to initiating any new wellness water product.
- Whereas regular water has approximately 150–155 ppm of deuterium, our LDW is manufactured to a target of around 125 ppm (or lower, depending on the product variant). This reduction is measured using advanced instruments such as mass-spectrometers.
- Deuterium (D-isotope) measurement is done via isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) or other high- precision analytical methods in certified labs, ensuring the ppm level is accurate and traceable.
- Producing LDW at home is not practical without access to specialised equipment, technical expertise in isotope separation, and strict quality controls. We recommend sourcing from trusted manufacturers like Amrete for consistency and safety.
- Emerging research suggests that reducing deuterium may enhance mitochondrial function, cellular resilience, and energy metabolism—factors often challenged in conditions such as cancer, diabetes or metabolic syndrome. LDW may serve as a supportive hydration strategy alongside standard therapies (always under medical supervision).
- No. Alkaline water and LDW are different concepts:
Alkaline water: altered pH (higher than 7) and mineral content.
LDW: same pH/minerals as quality water but lower deuterium concentration.
The health mechanisms and production methods differ.
- No. LDW does not significantly affect the body’s pH. It is formulated to maintain balanced mineral content and neutral pH, providing hydration without altering acid-base balance.
- There is no fixed dosage for LDW. As with regular hydration, adults commonly consume 1–3 litres per day (depending on body size, activity and environment). For best results, consider replacing most of your daily water intake with LDW and minimizing high-deuterium fluids (like certain processed beverages). Always consult your healthcare provider for targeted guidance.
- The “125/100/75 ppm” figure refers to the parts-per-million concentration of deuterium in the water. This is an indicator of how much deuterium is present. Lower ppm = lower deuterium level. Our LDW variants are labeled accordingly so you can choose the specification that matches your usage.
- Yes. To further support a lower-deuterium body environment you can:
- Reduce intake of processed / sugary foods.
- Stay hydrated consistently.
- Engage in regular exercise.
- Get adequate, quality sleep.
- Consider periodic fasting or dietary strategies (under guidance).
