Update January 1, 2025. ASEA water, a cell signaling supplement, contains trillions of stable, perfectly balanced Redox Signaling Molecules suspended in a pristine saline solution. From the moment I first heard of this supplement, I was intrigued because “redox” is a word that takes me back to college chemistry class. In this ASEA review, I'll look at the research and science on ASEA and help you determine if it's right for you. I'll also address some things people say this supplement can do, too. This is an unbiased review. I do not work for the company.
1 What Is ASEA Redox Signaling?
OK, so how does ASEA work? At the heart of this supplement (pronounced “ah see ah”) is something called Redox Signaling. Let's talk about what Redox signaling is.
The word Redox refers to two words – reduction and oxidation.
- “Red” is a reference to reduction
- “Ox” is a reference to oxidation
In the world of science, reduction and oxidation are used to refer to things that transfer electrons (negatively charged particles).
- Electrons carry a negative electrical charge.
- When a molecule or atom receives an electron, its overall electrical charge is REDuced (it becomes more negatively charged).
- When a molecule or atom has electrons removed from it, it's said to be OXidized. (it becomes more positively charged)
Redox signaling is about using electrons to transfer signals (information) between molecules and atoms. This information can result in good or bad things happening.
2 Redox Signaling In Plain English
Redox signaling allows atoms and molecules to talk to each other by transferring electrons. They communicate by using antioxidants and free radicals. Here's how it works:
- Free radicals remove electrons. This is also called Reduction
- Antioxidants donate electrons. This is also called Oxidation
By adding and removing electrons, information can be transmitted.
Through reduction and oxidation, we get the term “ReDox reaction.” During redox reactions, electrons are transferred from one thing to another. This transfer of electrons also transfers information. Basically, this helps atoms/molecules “talk” to each other.
Simply put, redox signaling occurs by the interaction between antioxidants and free radicals.
3 ASEA Water Ingredients
The product website has said the supplement is made of “trillions of stable, perfectly balanced Redox Signaling molecules suspended in a pristine saline solution.”
The saline solution is a reference to salt water. This is why some people online say that ASEA is just expensive salt water. I'll let others make that judgment as I'm primarily interested in the research on this stuff.
They say the redox signaling molecules are grouped into two types:
- Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)
- Reduced Species (RS)
Let's translate these names:
- Reactive Oxygen Species are basically free radicals
- Reduced Species are basically antioxidants
4 ASEA Water Research
The ASEA company commissioned a genetic testing company called Taueret Laboratories to perform a study. It was called “Initial Gene Study Showed ASEA REDOX Affected Important Signaling Pathway Genes.” The science is complicated, so let's just summarize it:
ASEA Genetics Study Summary
This investigation lasted 2 months and involved 60 people who were split into 3 groups:
- ASEA group (25 people). They drank ASEA water
- Placebo group (25 people). They drink salt water
- Control group: (10 people). They didn't drink either ASEA or salt water
The company's summary shows that most people were white women with an average age of 35.
ASEA Water Study Results
Researchers noted that 5 genes involved in cell signaling changed their expression by 20-31%.
This is very interesting, but there are a couple of problems:
- They didn't say how they changed. I assume it was in a good way.
- The study doesn't appear to be published in a medical journal.
Why isn't this investigation published in a medical journal?
Watch this ASEA video below:
At 55 seconds into this video, Dr. Jeffrey Mocny of the ASEA science counsel states, “ASEA is dedicated to performing the highest quality science in the field.” To me, “highest quality science” means publishing your research in a medical journal.
ASEA Exercise Study
In 2012, researchers at Appalachian State University published the results of an exercise study that used ASEA water. The title of the study was the Influence of a redox-signaling supplement on biomarkers of physiological stress in athletes: a metabolomics approach. Let's summarize this research and the results:
Study Summary
The study lasted 1 week. Twenty people rode a stationary bike as fast as they could for 46 miles (75 km). They were given either 4 oz of ASEA water or 4 oz of a placebo drink each day for a week before the cycling test and 16 oz of ASEA (or placebo) during the test. Blood samples were taken before, immediately after exercise, and one hour after exercise to see what happened.
Study Results:
- ASEA did not help people ride the bike any faster compared to the placebo.
- ASEA did not reduce exercise-induced inflammation compared to the placebo.
- ASEA did not reduce exercise-induced oxidative stress compared to the placebo.
- ASEA did not alter exercise-induced changes in immune function compared to placebo.
The study does note “ASEA supplementation caused a significant shift in 43 metabolites” before exercise occurred. These metabolites included free fatty acids and vitamin C. While this is interesting, remember the supplement didn’t help people ride the bike any faster.
These researchers also note free fatty acids and vitamin C were made more available before exercise. That is interesting too, but what about during exercise? There is no mention of fatty acid availability during exercise. If the fatty acids were increased during exercise, ASEA water might improve exercise endurance.
I hope this study is replicated to determine fatty acid use during exercise.
Study Problems:
While this investigation is listed in a science journal, it appears as an abstract. Abstracts are summaries of the research that do not necessarily have to undergo peer review. In my view, the lack of peer review decreases the significance of abstracts.
ASEA Water-Mouse Study
In this investigation, mice have force-fed ASEA water or a placebo for 7 days prior to running to exhaustion. The mice getting the supplement ran about 29% longer than the mice getting the placebo. This is very interesting, but it’s a mouse study.
5 Other ASEA Water Research
The Science page of the company's website lists 9 additional pieces of evidence. Below is a summary of each, along with my opinions of them.
1. ASEA Safety Studies Summary
This paper is also titled ASEA Ingestion, Safety, Summary from Human Studies North Carolina Research Campus Human Performance Laboratory.
This study looked at how the supplement was tolerated in 106 overweight people who drank 4 oz per day for 12 weeks compared to a placebo.
Results. There were no side effects reported compared to the placebo group. ASEA water had no effect on cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels or CRP levels. There was no mention of whether the people lost weight.
Possible Problems
- This does not appear to be a published, peer-reviewed study.
2. PNNL Safety Report
This paper is titled Data from an In vitro Study Relating to Product Safety (PNNL stands for Pacific North West National Laboratory). It was basically a test-tube study. ASEA did not cause any toxicity when cells were exposed to it, which is good.
Possible Problems
- This does not appear to be a published, peer-reviewed study.
3. Reactive Molecules Verification
This paper is also titled “Verification Procedure for Reactive Molecules in ASEA.”
This paper discusses the quality control used to make ASEA water. I'm happy they have quality control measures in place; that says a lot about the company.
4. ASEA Water Antioxidant Efficiency
This paper is titled “Report For ASEA on Experimental Results-In Vitro Antioxidant Enhancement and Oxidative Stress Reduction.
This paper describes how cell cultures treated with ASEA showed improvements in the antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX).
Possible Problems
- This does not appear to be a published, peer-reviewed study
- This is a test tube study
- Effects in cell cultures do not necessarily mean the same thing occurs in humans
5. ASEA Water Athletics Study
This paper is titled “Report to ASEA on VO2max Athletic Endurance Enhancement Testing.”
In this investigation, 17 athletes were tested for aerobic capacity before and after 2 weeks of taking the supplement each day. Results showed that athletes had their aerobic capacity after taking the supplement.
Possible Problems
- This does not appear to be a published, peer-reviewed study
- They don't tell us what kind of athletes these were (runners, weight lifters, etc.)
- There was no placebo group to compare the results to
- The study speaks of “significant trends,” but they don't say if the improvements were clinically significant.
6. ASEA Water Metabolite Findings FAQ
This paper summarizes frequently asked questions about the exercise study of 20 people conducted at Appalachian State University. I summarized this study above in the Research section.
Possible Problems
- This does not appear to be a published, peer-reviewed study.
7. ASEA Water Research Summary Presentation
This is titled “ASEA Metabolomics.” This is the human exercise study summarized above.
8. White Paper on the Effect of an Immune-Supporting Supplement, ASEA, on Athletic Performance based on a Pilot VO2max Test
In this paper, the supplement improved aerobic and anaerobic exercise performance in 18 well-conditioned men and women who rode a bike or ran on a treadmill.
Possible Problems
- There is no placebo group
- This does not appear to be a published, peer-reviewed study
9. White paper: Bioactivity of ASEA™ Related to Toxicity, Glutathione Peroxidase, Superoxide Dismutase Efficacy and Related Transcription Factors
Possible Problems:
- This is a test tube study
- This does not appear to be a published, peer-reviewed study
6 Where To Buy ASEA Water
The redox-signaling water supplement is not sold in stores like Walmart, Target, Walgreens, or CVS. It can be obtained directly from an ASEA associate.
One thing I noticed was there didn't seem to be a way for people to order ASEA directly from the company website (AseaGlobal.com). This is good because it means the company is not in competition with associates who sell it. This also says a lot about the company.
7 How Much Is ASEA
The cost depends on whether you are an associate or not. If you want to use it yourself (and not sell it), then the price is around $150 per month. The cost may also depend on whether you take advantage of their auto-shipment program. Associates likely get discounts. When in doubt, ask an associate for to get the lowest cost.
8 ASEA And Exercise
Does ASEA water help people exercise better? Let's just say I'm skeptical right now. We currently have a mouse study that hints it might work and a human study showing it doesn't. ASEA water is NSF Certified. This is good news for athletes. NSF (NSF.org) is a company that guarantees supplements contain what their labels indicate. Athletes who undergo random drug testing often prefer supplements that have NSF certification.
9 Can ASEA Water Help Weight Loss
Other than it being low in calories, I don't think so. Claims about the supplement helping people burn fat appear to come from the human exercise study summarized above. In that investigation, it was noted that people who drank 4 oz of ASEA per day for a week had a greater release of fatty acids (triglycerides) at rest. But remember burning fat and losing weight don't always equate to each other. For most people, burning calories is more important than burning fat.
Remember also that this was an exercise study, not a weight-loss study. The researchers did not state the people lost weight. Based on this we can assume they probably didn't.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina completed a study investigating if supplements raised metabolic rate. This study was completed in 2013 but no results have been released. As of 2023, no study results have been released.
10 Can ASEA Water Help People With Cancer?
There is no evidence that ASEA water can cure cancer or prevent it from occurring. This is also true for other diseases too, including heart disease, diabetes, Autism, arthritis, eczema, Acne, Lyme disease, tinnitus, dementia, fibromyalgia, and blindness. No clinical research could be located that proves this ionized water beverage improves any health condition. While there are testimonials of people who report impressive results (see the comments section), there is no clinical proof for any of it for now.
I lost parents of my parents to cancer (less than 3 months from each other). I know how scary a cancer diagnosis can be. It's normal to look for answers. I see no good proof that drinking Redox water will improve cancer outcomes.
11 Can ASEA Water Improve Scars On The Skin and Face?
No research appears to show if the supplement helps scars heal faster, fade, or disappear. It may or may not. There seems to be no evidence either way.
12 Can ASEA Water Raise Glutathione
Glutathione is an antioxidant compound that tends to decline as we get older. Some have said ASEA can raise glutathione levels by over 500%. I can find no evidence in humans for this statement. Watch this video to learn how to raise your glutathione levels.
13 Can ASEA Water Help Your Hair Grow?
There appears to be no evidence either way of the supplement promoting hair growth or reversing gray hair. For more on hair growth, see these reviews:
- Viviscal Review
- Viviscal vs. Nutrafol Review
- Can Peppermint Oil Grow Hair?
- Hair Growth Supplement Videos
14 ASEA vs. The Competition
Many supplements promise to help us age gracefully. Here's how this supplement compares to some of the more popular supplements out there:
ASEA Water vs. Neora
The Neora company (formally Nerium) has a supplement called Neora EHT. That supplement has an extract from coffee (called EHT) which is touted to improve memory. No studies have compared ASEA to Neora EHT to see how they compare to each other. Like ASEA, Neora also has some research to support its effects.
See the Nerium /Neora EHT review
ASEA Water vs. Protandim
Protandim is probably the most well-known anti-aging supplement on Earth. It's been around for many years, and if you count up the research, it has more clinical studies than probably any anti-aging supplement on the market. Protandim is said to help the body ramp up its own production of antioxidant defenses.
In a way, this is somewhat similar to ASEA but there is no talk of redox signaling with Protandim. There is also no research comparing these supplements to each other.
ASEA vs. Tru Niagen (Nicotinamide Riboside)
Tru Niagen is a very popular anti-aging supplement. Tru Niagen contains a nicotinamide riboside, a form of niacin (vitamin B3). This compound is said to slow aging by helping our cells make an energy molecule called NAD, which declines as we age. So far, there is no evidence that ASEA water raises cellular NAD levels. Likewise, researchers have not compared ASEA water to Tru Niagen.
ASEA Water vs. Kangen Water
Kangen water is produced by Kangen water machines, which are made by the Enagic company, which is based in Japan but sells its machines worldwide. Kangen water machines use electrolysis to make water more alkaline. The pH of Kangian drinking water ranges from 8.5 to 9.5. Most people think of alkaline water as Kangen water.
The pH of ASEA water is 7.35. Since a pH of 7 is neutral, ASEA water is slightly alkaline but less so than Kangen water. So what's better? There are no comparative studies to see if either water has benefits.
Is ASEA Water The Same As Miricle Mineral Solution?
The Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS) is a mixture of sodium chlorite and an acid, such as citric acid.
It is a controversial product that has been marketed as a treatment for various health conditions, including cancer, malaria, and autism. However, strong evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. ASEA Water is not the same thing as MMS.
15 Is ASEA Water Approved by the FDA?
The Food and Drug Administration indeed regulates dietary supplements. This is because of the law known as the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, which went into effect in 1994. However, regulation and approval are not the same thing. While penalties can be imposed on companies that don't follow the rules, the FDA does not approve dietary supplements before they are sold to the public.
16 How Do You Take ASEA Water?
Drink about 4 oz per day. You can drink it on an empty stomach or with food.
17 Who Makes ASEA Water?
ASEA Water is a product of ASEA LLC, a multilevel marketing business that began in 2007. The company address is 6550 Millrock Dr. Ste 100, Salt Lake City, UT 84121-6000. The business website is AseaGlobal.com.
The Better Business Bureau gives ASEA LLC a rating of “A+” and the company is accreted with the BBB. No customer complaints were logged with the BBB against the company, which is rare for a corporation that has been around as long as ASEA has.
18 Contact ASEA
- The Better Business Bureau lists a contact number of (801) 928-2001
- Another phone number is 888-438-5971
- The Associate Support number of 801-973-7499
19 ASEA Lawsuits
Despite these claims, no FDA warning letters or lawsuits in the US could be located. This may indicate that the company is complying with US supplement regulation guidelines.
20 ASEA Side Effects
My guess is this supplement is pretty safe for most people. I'm not aware of any side effects from using the product. Some people online I saw said it didn't taste good but that is something we all have to decide for ourselves. The supplement does have some salt, but the company website states the amount of salt is less than a carrot has.
General suggestions for all supplements:
- Start with less than suggested for the first week to see how you respond
- Talk to your doctor if you are pregnant/breastfeeding
- Stop taking at least 2 weeks before having surgery
- Talk to your doctor if you take any medicine like blood thinners
When looking at ASEA testimonials, some people say some pretty amazing things ranging from the product improving energy levels and reducing arthritis pain to even speeding recovery after a stroke. And then there are those who said the product did nothing for them. As with anything, the results you experience may vary.
21 ASEA Renew 28
This is a skin cleanser. It contains an ingredient called sodium magnesium fluorosilicate (also called Hectorite), a scrubbing agent used in various cosmetics. The company states a European dermatology company -Dermatest – tested Renew 28 in 20 women for 28 days. The women said they saw:
- 21% Improvement in wrinkles
- 20% increased skin elasticity
- 23% improvement in overall wrinkles
- 22% improvement in facial skin texture
- 23% improved skin smoothness
- 11% increase in skin moisture
Notice the women used the product for 28 days. This is where “Renew 28” gets its name from.
In another study, which lasted 12 weeks, the product was said to improve cellulite.
It is unknown if either of these studies has been published in medical journals. If not, this reduces their importance, in my opinion.

22 Does ASEA Work?
For the moment, I'm not going to say ASEA is a rip-off or a scam. While skeptical about the ASEA claims and clinical research, I will take the high road and say, let's wait for better research. I'm not impressed with the evidence presented so far, but I am willing to wait for future clinical studies.
I have been using ASEA for at least 5 years. i am a soccer referee. I was wearing a knee brace and taking Chondroitin and glucosamine for years. When I started taking ASEA I had a weekend tournament with 6 games on Saturday and 6 on Sunday. I expected on Monday to be on the couch icing my knees. I started the product one week before the tournament.
On Saturday I ran better than I had in a long time. On Sunday I got up and walked with no limp to the shower. On Sunday I ran better than I did on Saturday. I stopped taking the C & C and I no longer wear a brace. I don’t take the product every day any more. But I take it regularly during soccer season. It’s the greatest.
Hi Jim and thanks for the feedback. Glad ASEA is helping you.
I’ve been drinking ASEA since Oct, 2015 these are the things I have experienced since beginning:
I am not a distributor of this or any product.
**edema in legs/ankles, much discomfort, took lasik(sp?) and had a little relief but got dry eyes and didn’t feel much better after a year. Began ASEA and the edema is gone and ankles only swell on hot days and being on feet for hours, but all goes away quickly after propping legs up.
** had a molar that was inflamed and was planning a trip to dentist, after 3 weeks tooth discomfort had subsided and into the 3rd month I realized the tooth was happy 🙂
**my knuckles on both hands we red and felt like I was constantly being shocked, knots on index fingers. After 3 months the redness was gone, discomfort mostly gone and when there is a flair up I put extra Renu 28 gel on them and get relief. The knots are almost unnoticeable.
**knees no longer hurt going down stairs
** At 68 and no plastic surgery, my wrinkles are diminished, softened, and brown spots have, significantly, gotten lighter but not completely gone.
This is the only thing I have done differently.
If one feels bad on the product in the beginning it is most likely due to detoxing. Keep taking and drink good water to flush out toxins. If one has a headache flush with water not drugs… it works
The bottle says that it is BioAgilytix Lab “Redox Certified” . Is there any verification from that company what this means and does it lead to more credence about this product? Thanks.
AP, Good question. I’m not sure what a redox certification is. My guess is BioAgilytix is an independent lab they use.
Its interesting to think. To find conspiracyes or suddenly became a oracle predicting disasters. Asea signaling molecules ARE NOT FREE RADICALS. They are special molecules, created by mythocondries, with the purpose to activate the antioxidants and to better information transfer.
This redox signaling molecules are not stable, but only a few seconds living. A team of researches made them stable finally and so being able to resist no longer than 1 year. Taking Asea the oxidation of the body, due to pollution, bad food including stupid sweet black or chemically colored drinks etc is considerably reduced Also the brain is better informed about disfunctionality of the inner structuress, so it can take healing measures. Asea is may be difficult to understand but straight good for health and having a good life.
Augustin, since the term redox refers to both antioxidants and free radicals, that is why I referred to them in my review. You say that these signaling molecules are special molecules, but how are they special? Do they add and remove electrons to achieve an effect? It’s my understanding this is what redox signaling refers to. Antioxidants add (donate) electrons while free radials remove elections. That is why I believe they are the same thing.
I just heard about this product yesterday when a long-lost friend of mine called and asked me to take a look at it. It seems to me that it would be more beneficial if one is interesting in introducing electrons into the body to combat oxidative stress to spend their money on a high quality water ionizer.
We should be drinking water with pH of around 8 to 9 and an ORP of -450 to -750. The only way to achieve that result is with an ionizer. Plus, one can then also create acidic water for skin care (-5 to -5.5 pH) and household cleaning (-2.5 to -3 pH). Filters only have to be changed once a year. Much better bang for the buck.
Not impressed with the ASEA sales pitch. At the end of the day, it sounds like a hoax. Whatever their special formula is…I don’t see how the ingredients could stay in a stable state over long periods of time. Plus, I don’t believe reverse osmosis is a good thing (dead water), nor is drinking water stored in plastic bottles.
Joe, if you have some of this product laying around, could you please take a water pH test strip and let us know what value you find?
Hi Shane, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I actually do not have any ASEA to test.
I actually used a pH paper and test the ASEA two weeks ago. It was around 7.4-7.6 if I remember correctly. The result was the same with just ASEA or after you put ASEA into your mouth for a minute.
Is it just a coincidence that ASEA, Nu Skin, Amway/Quixtar, and a few other ”MLM” companies are all located in Mormon country (Salt Lake City, UT)? I think not.. Or is it a weird coincidence that Verdis Norton placed ASEA in Mormon country? (Asea was established by Verdis Norton and James Pack.
Both of these gentlemen have an experience background in the corporate business planet and are each CEO’s. Verdis discussed the plan he previously for the company and James was the main one to allocated the money to start it.) Is it a weird coincidence that Norton is high up in the structure of the Latter Day Saints? I think not, here, too… You decide.
Hey everyone. I bought this for my developmentally disabled daughter to see if it would help balance her moods or help her brain function (I heard a speech on the Autism One conference). I have also been taking it for 2 months now.
I have only noticed that it makes me very tired. I now sleep 10-11 hours a night, when I usually only sleep 6-7. My daughter has also been very tired, but last night stayed up all night!
Does anyone know how long it takes to repair the cells, or do whatever it’s going to? I don’t know how much longer I can stand for us to be so tired, and for her to have sleep issues. Help!
Hi Beth, I wish I could offer some guidance on this but I am at a loss. Has anyone else had the issues Beth and her daughter have noticed?
I have read that a person needs to give it the 3 month trial to see if it works for them.
I started taking ASEA just 3 days ago. I am pretty in-tuned with my body. I have been ill for well over a decade and have tried numerous products anyone can read about from Rife and other devices to numerous supplements, herbals, homeopathy, etc. I am still sick.
Right now, I am taking 2 oz of ASEA morning and night on an empty stomach (as directed to me by a friend who sold me the bottle), except for 2 nights ago I took 4 oz within a 4 hour period.
I have noticed a number of effects (which I am contributing to ASEA ) so far. One effect is an increase in my ability to run. I was only running (slowly at that and for only a very short distance) in spurts then would gasp for a ways for air while I walked. So, I was walking/running .. which was mostly walking. Now, I run MOSTLY and walk little during my workout. Each day, which has only been 2 days so far after taking ASEA, I have noticed an increase in output of performance. Of course, only time will tell whether or not this continues to increase daily.
I am also VERY familiar with the HERX phenomenon. All the above that I wrote I could maybe rationalize as a “coincidence”, however, the night I took 4 oz I HERXED tremendously. (google Herxheimer reaction). I know, without any doubt, that this formula is the culprit (and I mean that in a good way) for the die-off symptoms (the herxing effect) of whatever it is being killed off in my body.
What I understand thus far of this product is that it does not DIRECTLY kill off any pathogens, but that it increases the glutathione in our own bodies and beyond that I do not understand YET the what and how it works. I have read that it increases the effect of our own immune system.
Now, I will explain why I jumped upon the opportunity to try the ASEA:
I have a friend who came over on May 6, 2o16 (just 3 days ago) to tell me his daughter’s (to whom I also know) experience with ASEA.
She is a doctor of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. He first told me that she came across the products, ASEA & Renu. She had her doubts about the company and its product, because she was highly turned off that it is a multi-level marketing company. She even called the company with numerous questions to try and determine whether or not they are a scam. She told them she has a Thermography device and would test it… they told her to go ahead that it has already been done as an experiment by other customers. They told her she’d have to come up with something better than that (jokingly) to prove it does (or does not) work. So, she came up with another idea to try to prove this product, ASEA, for herself.
She then called a friend who is an MD who does Dark Field Microscopy and made an appointment for her and her boyfriend. They intentionally did not try any ASEA beforehand. Both she and her boyfriend were tested. The results for the boyfriend showed numerous pathogens, parasites.. including liver flukes. As it was told to me by her father.. “he was loaded”.
For her, the test results showed up the spirochetes and numerous co-infections (she has been very ill for the past 3 years). The test also showed she had no white blood cells.
After they were tested, they each drank ASEA. Being that she is so ill, she only tried a quarter dose (1/2 ounce) of ASEA, whereas her boyfriend drank 2 ounces.
They each were retested (20 minutes later). The results were astounding. Her boyfriend’s test showed him to be ALMOST clear of the parasites and pathogens. For her, the results showed numerous white blood cells.
I was also told that the doctor was so astounded by the results that she began to cry because she knew realized the help ASEA would bring to her patients. The doctor immediately signed up to ASEA.
Forgot to say….
By the way, nice article.. well-balanced and fair.
PG, thanks I appreciate you saying that 🙂
You are welcome.
PG, what you say about the experiments you done with by the doctor of Chinese medicine and the MD with dark microscope are very intriguing. I only have this question: How come nobody else has ever published studies on this? The experiments you describe sound pretty easy to do.
I would love to add published /peer reviewed medical research like you described to my review. Do let me know if you ever discover any.
Hi Joe,
You wrote:
” How come nobody else has ever published studies on this? ”
——————————————————————————
I don’t know.
All I know is my doctor friend just wanted to prove it for herself because she had a general distrust of MLM companies, so she came up with this idea.
I did just find this (although not as impressive as what she and her MD friend found)…
Donovan Kerr & Live Blood Microscopy with ASEA
PG, Im not an expert on dark field microscoppy but I found this on the Dr. Weil site: http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/QAA400117
If I remember, this type of microscop was also mentioned when I looked at Carnivora. Ive linked to that review.
I was never impressed by Dr. Weil.
I am actually more impressed with doctors such as Dr. Mercola who states the following:
“It is up to patients to actually educate their doctors about the inadequacy of standard testing and the necessity for using techniques such as electrodermal screening and darkfield microscopy. And it is up to patients to become politically involved with Lyme advocacy groups, such as those listed here, to fight for their right to proper medical care.”
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2001/07/25/lyme-disease2.aspx
I do think people have to be their own advocates with Lyme and other issues. I was especially moved by hearing an interview with a doctor who ended up needing a heart transplant because of his lymes. Here’s his book. As for Mercola vs Weil, its an individual choice.
I believe The reaction is due to high alkalinity of the liquid not nutritional effect.

It’s less important to solve the mystery of how ASEA is produced or how does it works or what “international conspiracies are behind it”. The most important is that a lot of people have experienced improvement in their health after using it.
Some of them are talking about TREMENDOUS improvings. How many of us know all the rules of a computer functionality but use it everyday? Asea is not vitamins or minerals or herbs. It’s stimulating the general capacity of the body to heal himself also its improving the immune system. For those who want to be healthier.. try the product. Those who want to study it..they are welcome too!
Bodies that have cellular unbalance take awhile to heal themselves. Tiredness is acurately a form of detoxification while taking ASEA supplement. My friend has been on ASEA since Nov. And she has A LOT of cellular damage, is just noticing the improvements on her labs.
ASEA keeps my husband awake when he takes it in eve. I sleep better at night. My son has sensory issues and he had his tonsils out, at 3 weeks post opp the follow up PA Couldn’t tell if he had surgery 3 weeks prior or 3 years!! Redox Signaling Molecules are vital to detection, protection, repairing and rejuvenation of the cells.
Dr. Wards site http://Www.theredoxdoc.com
Also bioagilitx certifies weekly there are in fact redox signaling molecules in every batch of product.
And why should it matter if these coys are all in Mormon country?
It’s the same as saying why all these coys that want a low tax jurisdiction are all located or registered in Nevada!
Let’s stick with the facts.
And what works.
As to tiredness it means your body is undergoing some massive healing. You can cut the dose in half and really up your water. Like any renovation, the cells of your body need to get rid of the damage before they can replace with good materials.
Tiredness is one of the signs of the clean up crew at work. You can greatly reduce the symptoms by slowing down the break down process (detoxification) and upping your water intake. Half your body weight in ounces is the minimum you should be taking of water. Minimum.
Hope this helps.
Jay, my 2 cents: being tired is not just a sign of healing. I’d agree its often advised people aim for drinking 50% of their body weight in water over the course of the day.
I’d be cautious of not putting a cap on fluid consumption. While very rare, hyponatremia is a real medical condition. According to this scientific American article, for those with 2 kidneys, we should be ok if we consistently drink up to about 66 oz per hour: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/strange-but-true-drinking-too-much-water-can-kill/
Also remember fluids are in other foods too, such as fruits/veggies.
Tom your comment reads like a professionally written promo piece.
Public health lab in Germany findings: Product is dangerous!

I lost 25 kg in 1 year following a Paleo diet and exercise – no starving, only cravings in the first week.
I don’t believe in wonder-pills anymore to loose weight – they’re just destroying hopes and ripping you off
Hi Julia, I looked at the study, which is in German (I had to use google translate to read it). While I didn’t specifically see them use the letters”ASEA” they did use phrases like “redox signaling molecules” which the product marketing uses. Congrats on losing 25 kg (50 pounds!) that is fantastic!
It’s amazing to me that people take daily miraculous “god” powers on their life in faith so easily but anything that isn’t FDA approved or that big pharma or medical lobbies don’t make money on is so easily and adamantly discredited.
There’s also no question that you can find people ripping off elderly widows so it is an unscrupulous world we live in so calm, unbiased, open-minded information is rare (and thanks for that).
I took the product a couple of years ago and didn’t notice much except it’s cost so I stopped. I never tried to sell it, that’s not my thing, but I did continue to hear from several friends and professional colleagues I trust that they, and/or family, had excellent results for a variety of issues.
I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis almost a year ago and lived through the arthritic pain growing and worsening in my shoulders, hands and wrists. A friend convinced me to give ASEA another chance this Fall and to my shock after about 3 months of faithful 2x daily supplementing my arthritis is maybe 10% of what it was.
It’s the only major change I made in lifestyle and nutrition. I have gone from where a handshake would send shooting pains right up my arm to now only a modest discomfort. I had to quit playing golf two years ago from the discomfort but now I can hold a club and swing freely. Unfortunately my golf game still stinks…now if anyone hears about a supplement for that…
Tom, thanks for sharing and Im happy it’s helping your arthritis. Do let me know if you ever find that golf supplement 😉
Nice article. Still not sure how it works, but when I was taking Asea everyday the blood test the doctor took did show that the supplements I was taking were higher in my blood meaning more of them were absorbed. I also used to have bad allergies to perfumes. I couldn’t be in the same room as someone with perfume on without getting a bad headache and sometimes I felt like I couldn’t even think. The allergies would affect my brain function, but after taking asea in the morning for about 2 years and only 2 oz most of the time I no longer have the perfume allergy. I haven’t even taken Asea for a year and I still am not having problems with perfume. Wish it wasn’t so expensive.
Becky, thanks for sharing. I’m glad your allergy to perfume is not longer a problem for you.
There is no way Asea can give you heartburn.
FYI. Tell us about your Asea experience after 4 months. There are stats on the results that folks get. 90% will have many positive results after 90 days. That’s at least a minimum of 16 bottles consumed properly. There have been many incredible health benefits in just a few days, but that does not happen often, only 10%. Folks can’t fell anything all the time. We don’t make medical claims. But your body is liking asea. Renu28 is incredible.
Robin b, where are those statistics published?
Loose croy……The company makes no medical claims. No ,asea distributors are not pawns. No about your water comment. You don’t know what you are talking about. I have been an associate since April 2015. I have seen incredible health improvements in many people. You have never met Vertis Norton or anyone in management before. You have never met any of the people on the medical board. Renu 28 is beyond incredible.
That is the closest I found about a “study”…

Remy, yes I saw that when I was reviewing ASEA.
Thanks for doing the research on the research! I credited you and went a step beyond speculating on the redox reactions and stabilization. Post is here: https://alternativendhealth.wordpress.com/2015/09/09/will-asea-cure-all-that-ails-you/
Christopher, you are very welcome.
I am so glad I found your article! The manager and head trainer at the gym I go to has been harassing me to sign up and use ASEA. What’s interesting is he says there have been peer related studies published, but I can’t find any anywhere.
I also find it very interesting that the no results of the ASEA study have been posted to the Clinical Trials website, despite the fact that the trial was completed 2 years ago. I really don’t understand how people can really believe this stuff.
Kelly you are welcome. Question, can you tell me who the head trainer is certified by? Just curious.
I went to the gym’s website to check and he’s been fired 😳 As it turns out, I’m not the only one he’s been harassing about ASEA. Wowza
Kelly, interesting. What gym is thus if I may ask?
Anytime Fitness in Leander, TX
Thanks Kelly 🙂
I was also dumbfounded to see that clinicaltrials.gov had researched ASEA over 3 years ago and that no results have been published to date. I guess our tax dollars go toward funding clinical research but not supplying us that pay for them with the results?!
I’ve been taking ASEA for 5 bottles. I do not feel any better. I do not sleep better, (maybe more restless) and I have no energy at all from it. I am not overweight and am quite active. I have a lot of inflammation in my hips and that has not changed. I am experiencing hot flashes all day long, (which is new) and also my calves are knotting up daily (never had that before)
I am going to stop taking ASEA to see if these symptoms subside and determine if there is any relationship between ASEA and my issues. Thanks for your article.
Polly, thanks for writing and do let me know what happens.
same here…no positive results after a year of taking it! Just gave me heartburn! AND $$ poorer.
Ruthann, thanks for sharing. For what its worth I’m sorry it didn’t help you.
HI
Your body displays different symptoms depending on what is actually going on inside of you that you and or your doctor don’t even know about..yet.
Cramping and hot flashes. Also part of your body’s adjustments.
I have an acquaintance who when I turned up at her doorstep last year, she was dying. She had spent $80k on her health in the past 18 months, including a trip overseas. Scans didn’t find anything. Yet she was in so much pain in her bowels, with severe acid reflux, she was praying for her life to be taken when I turned up. I wasn’t selling Asea or anything, nor did I want to (at the time). I just dropped in for a visit and all I had was a renew 28 gel in my handbag.
Two days later she was pain free.
She also suffered all her life from hot flushes which were crippling her. Obvious hormonal issues. With Asea all that went away after a few months.
She was also chronically tired, and cramping up often.
She kept adjusting her Asea dose up and down during those months as she understood her body was adjusting to the effective communication going on in her body, and that her body was healing itself. She understood the detoxification process and was prepared to go through with it as she had no other options left.
She would just lie down when she had no energy, and cut down her Asea. Sometimes she would just skip her Asea for a day. What she didn’t do was up her water which would have made the process a lot more comfortable. She is doing that now.
All her hot flushes are gone. She has tons of energy. She has a new life.
She is prepared to talk to anyone about what Asea has done for her.
And people can’t believe she isn’t 60 next year!
Again people don’t question all the horrible side effects of drugs and keep going back for more drugs to minimise the toxic effects of the previous ones, yet won’t take the time to understand what their bodies are doing on a product that is saving many lives, including my own brother’s, which is by the way how I found out about Asea.
Also, people must take responsibility for the fact that the issues they are having are decades in the making! They just didn’t spring up overnight! So now they expect a magic bullet to fix their woes???? Hello?
Yet talking about magic bullets…if Asea was a drug it would be biggest drug of all time.
Viva Asea!
Jay, are you an ASEA distributor? Just want to ask before others do because the testimonial of your friend is quite extraordinary. What was the medical issue your friend was having that made her thought she was going to die?
It is true what you say about many issues we experience now are of the result of life style habits we developed over decades. Some of theses things like heart disease can be reversed in many cases by changing our diet.
This is the best review of ASEA that I have read. It is unbiased either way and simply states conclusions based on what the company itself promotes about their product. It doesn’t appear that ASEA will medically have a negative effect on the body, but further studies are necessary to prove that it cures all the diseases and ailments that the company vehemently guarantees.
In the meantime, wouldn’t it be best to just drink plain water and save your money? The founder is a masterful businessman who found a strategy to make millions because people are so gullible! Then the business distributors go to these national conferences where they are fed the company line over and over and over.
This is a form of mind control! I feel sorry for those innocent people who become a part of this with good intentions for starting a business, only to become pawns of a very methodical brain-washing organization.
Louise, thanks for saying that. I appreciate your kind words.
I’ve been approached by someone I respect who is both trying to get me to buy the expensive product and become a business partner. The science behind it makes sense to me from what I remember from H.S. biology but the MLM business model definitely turns me off. Plus, this product has been stabilized for at least 6 years, correct?
So why have I not heard of it before? Shouldn’t it have taken off beyond an MLM model by now, despite the attempts by traditional medicine to bury it.
Plus, it’s been verbally touted to me that it would do wonders for my two children with autism, yet I’ve read nothing about an autism connection. I was given a very small tube of the topical product by my friend and it did seem to relieve some back pain from doing yard work that same day – but so does Ben-Gay, Icy Hot, BioFreeze, and other topical solutions.
I think I’ve been contacted 7 times over the past 5 days about getting on board, including being put on the phone with members higher up in the pyramid. What was explained to me as very low pressure has suddenly become an urgent, high pressure decision. All of these are the typical red flags.
So, as a national advocate in the autism community, my next response to the contact I believe will come tonight is going to be, “Invest a 3 month supply of your ingestible product in me and, if I see substantial results with my children, I’ll bring you tens of thousands of customers from the autism community”.
If they’re not willing to invest just a 3 month supply for that kind of return, then they really don’t believe in the miracle properties of their own product.
Hi Spartacus, Thanks for sharing that. Do let us know what happens when you make that offer to them.
Well, I was called by my colleague and she had a high pressure member higher up on the phone with her (this is the 3rd time she’s “ambushed” me with someone else on the phone when it was supposed to be a one on one with her. The higher up did all the talking and I explained that my wife and I have connections in several national autism organizations; he seemed excited about that, finished his pitch and then left me on the phone with my colleague.
I explained my financial situation (which she already knows) and she said that if I couldn’t afford the $400 for a 90 supply, I could buy the $120 one month supply just for my younger son (who is more affected by autism). When I said that $120 was still beyond my means but that I would like to try it and, if I saw significant results, I would be more than happy to spread the word, she said that I could offset the cost by selling a crate to someone else I knew!
So she wanted me to recommend a product I haven’t even tried to someone who trusts me just so I could offset my own cost of “experimentation”. Then she proceeded to pressure me into setting up another phone call with her where she would walk me through setting up my own distributor website. I contacted her the next day and said I wanted to run it by my sister (a Physical Therapist) and her husband (a Physician) and she asked me why?!
I told her I wanted to gather as much independent research as possible and that they may be a good source of informational medical research websites. Her response was that they probably didn’t know anything about ASEA and then proceeded to send me more links to ASEA sponsored “research” websites. So, essentially, she is trying to steer me away from any independent research or any information outside of the ASEA sphere. Do I need any more red flags? The only question now is how to politely extricate myself from this situation.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, the $120 per month deal is automatically charged to your credit card every month! From other posts I’ve read on other websites, it is not easy to stop them from charging you monthly unless you dispute the charges through your bank.
Hi Spartacus!Thanks for the follow up. If you are interested in trying it as an experiment, without the commitment, you might look at either craigslist or ebay.
Hi Joe,
Hope all is well. I am so glad that I found your site months ago. Your thorough research is greatly appreciated on many products. I am interested to see if the ASEA discussion was still going on and wanted to look at recent posts….
Naomi, I’m happy you found me too 🙂
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are not necessarily free radicals. Ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and peroxynitrite are ROS, but they are not free radicals.
Mark, point taken, free radicals were all I had to go on since I don’t think ASEA has those other ingredients.
