You’re likely familiar with the common formula for water, H2O, but did you know there’s a fourth phase of water that goes beyond the familiar liquid, solid, and vapor states? This lesser-known phase is often represented by the formula H3O2 and is referred to by various names, including structured water, hydrogen water, EZ water, and vortex water. Unlike ordinary H2O, this fourth phase of water has the unique ability to store and release energy. It’s also more hydrating than regular water and occurs naturally in the environment. While many scientists have traditionally viewed water as a simple, unremarkable substance, researchers in the field of structured water have uncovered a far more complex and fascinating reality.

The idea that water is more complex than it appears and may exist in more than three phases was first proposed over a century ago by physical chemist Sir William Hardy. Since then, a growing number of scientists, including Viktor Schauberger, Dr. Marcel Vogel, Dr. Gerald Pollack, Dr. Masaru Emoto, and many others, have dedicated their work to exploring the mysteries of water. Their research has revealed that water is far from ordinary—it is, in fact, the very foundation of life, with properties that continue to surprise and inspire.
