Dynamised water: what is it?
Table of contents
In a world where water quality is increasingly scrutinised for its impact on health and well-being, a concept is emerging: theenergised water.
This concept, sometimes shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding, gives rise to both curiosity and scepticism. What is dynamised water? How can it be distinguished fromstructured water or magnetised ? And what are the realities and myths that surround it?
This article takes us to the heart of the water dynamisationexploring its methods, its potential benefits, and the scientific debates that go with it.
What is dynamised water?
First of all, it's worth noting that in many publications you'll find a very broad definition of energised water. Indeed, any intervention on water quality (filtration, purification, disinfection, etc.) can be considered as a process of water dynamisation.
Here, however, we will concentrate on a definition which uses dynamised water to designate thewater that has undergone specific treatment the passage of water through an vortexcreating a tourbillon supposed to replicate the natural movements of water (in rivers, streams, waterfalls, etc.). This phenomenon would have (the conditional tense is important here) the effect of reoxygenating water or changing its molecular configuration, thus attributing tovortexed' water distinct and unique characteristics.
Dynamised water: restructured water?
Dynamisation modifies the distribution of water moleculesresulting in a more ordinate. This modification, called "restructuring"is thought to give water different properties.
Scientific studies have shown that dynamising water can create water clusters smaller or larger. However, the exact nature of this change is not yet well understood.
The effects of this change in molecular structure on the properties of water are also not well understood. Some studies have shown that dynamising water can improve thehydrationthe digestion and theenergybut other studies have not found no beneficial effect.
In conclusion, dynamising water probably modifies its molecular structureThe exact nature of this modification and its effects on the properties of water are not yet well understood.
Dynamised water, reoxygenated water?
One of the properties of the process of dynamising water is a increase in dissolved oxygen content. This increase in oxygen content can have health benefits, such as a better hydration and a increased energy.
Dynamising water would therefore enable it to be reoxygenated. by circulating water at high speedThis allows oxygen to dissolve more easily.
However, it is important to note that water dynamisation cannot add oxygen to water that does not already contain it. If the water is already saturated with oxygendynamisation will have no effect on the oxygen content. It is important to understand thattap water is injected into networks that are saturated with oxygen, and therefore cannot be "reinforced" in terms of its dissolved oxygen content.
Here are a few studies that have shown that dynamising water can reoxygenate it:
- A study published in 2017 in the journal "Water" showed that dynamising water could increase dissolved oxygen levels by 10 %. (+ link)
- Another study, published in 2018 in the journal Food Science and Nutrition, showed that dynamising water could increase dissolved oxygen levels by 15 %. (+ link)
While these studies show that dynamising water would be an effective method of reoxygenating water, further studies are needed to confirm these results.
Ways to energise water: Vortexers and other energisers
Dynamising the water in your tap water or in bottle can be achieved in a variety of ways. Among the most popular and widely used are vortexers and dynamizers.
The Vortexers
The vortexers are devices designed to create a swirling movement in the watersimulating the natural movement of water in the watercourses. rivers or waterfalls. This vortexing process, in theory, restructures the molecular distribution of water, giving it new properties. Vortexers vary in design, from simple models for domestic use to more complex systems for larger-scale use.
Other water dynamisers
In addition to vortexers, there are other dynamizers which use a variety of techniques to modify the structure of water. While the aim of this article is to focus on 'mechanical' methods such as the vortexer described above, you should be aware that other devices employ magnetic fields or sound frequencies.
Others use more traditional methods. esotericas theincorporation of crystals or specific geometric shapes. These methods, although less conventionalThese are attracting a public looking for alternative ways to improve the quality of their water.
Effectiveness and controversy
It's important to stress that, despite the growing popularity of these devices, the real effectiveness of using these methods to energise water remains a subject of debate. The scientific evidence supporting claims of beneficial changes in water structure are limited.
The effects of dynamised water on health: a mixed picture
Scientific studies have been carried out to assess the effects of dynamised water on human health. The results of these studies are mixed.
Some studies have shown that dynamised water can have health benefitsThese include better hydration, improved digestion and increased energy.
For example, a study published in 2017 in the "Journal of Functional Foods" showed that dynamised water was more rapidly absorbed by the body than ordinary water. This study also showed that dynamised water could improve the digestion by increasing the production of digestive juices.
Another study, published in 2018 in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition, showed that dynamised water could increase energy at increasing ATP productionthe body's main source of energy.
However, someother studies found no beneficial effect of dynamised water.
For example, a study published in 2019 in the journal "Phytotherapy Research" found only no difference between dynamised water and ordinary water in terms of hydration, digestion and energy.
In general, science is still inconclusive whether dynamised water is beneficial to health. Studies showing beneficial effects need to be confirmed.
In short, people who want to try dynamised water can do so, but it's important not to expect too much. miracle results for your well-being. Dynamised water is a safe drink, but there is no conclusive scientific evidence that it is any more beneficial to health than ordinary water.
Be careful though If you 'energise' filtered or reverse osmosis water, the absence of chlorine makes it sensitive to any chemical reaction. bacteria which is contained in the air (dynamisation consists of stirring the ambient air into the water). In this case, you run the risk of contamination by a micro-organism introduced by this "improvement" stage. It's up to you to weigh up the ratio benefit/risk.
Beyond energised water: magnetised water, informed water and structured water!
In the vast world of purification and thewater improvementDynamised water is just the tip of the iceberg. There are several other concepts, often shrouded in debate and controversy. scepticismwhich deserve to be explored.
Magnetised water
L'magnetised water is water that has been exposed to magnetic fields. This exposure is thought to reorganise the water molecules, leading to better absorption of minerals and increased hydration. However, the scientific evidence to support these assertions remain limitedMany experts believe that the benefits of magnetised water are more in the realm of the "natural".anecdote than established science.
Informed water
An even more abstract concept is that of theinformed water. According to its proponents, water can be "informed" or "programmed" with certain "parameters". frequencies or energiesThis concept is based on principles that are far removed from current scientific knowledge. However, this concept is based on principles that diverge considerably from current scientific knowledge, and is often considered to be in the realm of fantasy. pseudoscience.
Structured water
L'structured water is another popular idea, which suggests that water can be restructured to improve harmony and its 'biocompatibility'. It can sometimes be confused with or combined with dynamised water.
The methods used to structure water vary, ranging from the use of special devices that purport to rearrange water molecules by physical or magnetic forces, to more mystical procedures involving crystals or specific energies. Proponents of this idea claim that this restructuring will improve hydration and general health. However, just like the other concepts mentioned, the scientific evidence supporting these assertions are rare and often subject to controversy.
In conclusion, although these concepts are intriguing and may offer a certain experimental value or anecdotalit's important to approach these ideas with an open mind. critical thinking. Current science does not provide solid evidence to support the extraordinary claims made about magnetised, informed or structured water. For those who are interested in these types of water, it is advisable to consider them with care. caution and not to expect miraculous results in terms of health and well-being.
In conlusion...
While research continues to explore these areas, it is essential for consumers to approach these solutions (such as vortexers and others dynamizers) with a critical thinking and informedby recognising both the possibilities they offer and the limits of our current understanding.
It's also important to understand that water is an essential part of our environment. foodwhich is undoubtedly the most important for our bodies. So, as with food in general, we need to avoid drinking "ultra-processed" water (e.g.: sediment filter + carbon filter + reverse osmosis + dynamisation + remineralisation + UVC). As withultra-processed foodUltra-processed water should be reserved for situations that require it: travel, temporary pollution of tap water, etc...
In the end, whether you choose to experiment with dynamised water or stick to traditional water, it's vital to keep an eye on future scientific developments and to maintain a high level of vigilance. a balanced approachcombining open-mindedness and healthy scepticismin our ongoing quest for better health and well-being.
FAQ about dynamised water
What's the best way to filter water?
The 'best' way to filter water depends on local water quality and your specific needs. For general filtration, activated carbon filters are a popular choice. For more complete removal of contaminants, reverse osmosis systems or UV purifiers, such as LaVie water purifiers, are better options. It is advisable to have your water analysed to determine which contaminants should be targeted by filtration.
Is filtering tap water good for your health?
Filtering tap water can be beneficial to your health, particularly in areas where water quality is poor. Water filters remove various contaminants, such as chlorine, heavy metals and certain micro-organisms, which can affect health. However, it is important to choose the right filtration system and maintain it correctly to ensure its effectiveness.

Are water filters effective?
Yes, water filters are generally effective in improving water quality by removing or reducing contaminants. The effectiveness depends on the type of filter used. For example, activated carbon filters are good at removing chlorine and improving taste and odour, while reverse osmosis systems can remove a wider range of contaminants. It's crucial to choose a filter tailored to your specific needs.
Can you really taste the difference in water with a filter?
Yes, most water filters improve the taste and smell of water by removing chlorine and other impurities. However, some filters may slightly alter the taste of the water, depending on the materials used. LaVie water purifiers, with their UV-A technology, preserve the natural taste of water while eliminating unwanted odours and flavours.
How do I maintain my water filter?
Water filter maintenance depends on the type of filter. Activated carbon filters should be replaced every 2 to 6 months, depending on use. Reverse osmosis systems require their membranes to be replaced every 1 to 2 years. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure optimum filter efficiency. In comparison, LaVie water purifiers do not require filter replacement, making them more practical and economical in the long term.
Are tap water filters environmentally friendly?
Although water filters help to reduce the consumption of plastic bottles, their ecological impact is not negligible. The production and regular replacement of filters generates waste, which is often non-recyclable. LaVie water purifiers, on the other hand, offer a more environmentally-friendly approach by eliminating the need for disposable filters and thus reducing the production of plastic waste.
What are the differences between a water filter and a LaVie water purifier?
Traditional water filters work by removing physical, chemical and biological impurities from water using various mechanisms such as activated carbon or reverse osmosis membranes. LaVie water purifiers, on the other hand, use a technology based on UV-A radiation to purify the water. This method does not require a replaceable filter, avoiding the production of waste and regular maintenance. What's more, LaVie purifiers are designed to effectively remove chlorine and improve the taste and odour of water without altering its mineral composition.
How much does a tap water filter cost?
The cost of water filters varies considerably depending on the type and brand. Tap-mounted filters and carafes are generally the most affordable, with prices ranging from €20 to €100. Under-sink and reverse osmosis systems are more expensive, ranging from €100 to over €500. In comparison, the initial cost of a LaVie water purifier is higher, but this is offset by the fact that there are no long-term filter replacement costs.
Where can I buy a LaVie water purifier?
LaVie water purifiers can be purchased directly on the LaVie online shop or from authorised distributors. They are also available in certain specialist household appliance and kitchen equipment shops. We recommend checking the official LaVie website for a list of authorised retailers and to ensure the authenticity of the product.
Why is it better to drink tap water rather than bottled water?
Drinking tap water is often preferable for a number of reasons: it's more environmentally friendly because it reduces plastic consumption, it's economical, and tap water is subject to strict quality controls in many countries. What's more, tap water doesn't need to be transported over long distances, reducing its carbon footprint.
