What is Preventa Deuterium-poor water?

Deuterium is known as heavy hydrogen. It is a naturally occurring stable variant of hydrogen. The nucleus of hydrogen consists of one proton and the deuterium nucleus contains one proton and one neutron. This difference in mass causes significant differences between the physical and biochemical properties of hydrogen and deuterium. An excess of deuterium in the body, unlike normal hydrogen, is not desirable. Deuterium is found in food, water and air. The amount of deuterium is indicated in parts per million (ppm). Water with a concentration of less than 140 ppm is considered deuterium-poor.

Different deuterium concentrations

Preventa® deuterium-reduced drinking water is available with and without carbon dioxide and in various deuterium concentrations, from 25 ppm to 125 ppm. Preventa is one of the world's first drinking water products with a reduced deuterium content and was developed on the basis of an international patent by the Hungarian company HYD LLC.

Award-winning innovative product

HYD LLC introduced Preventa® deuterium-poor drinking water to the market in 2005 at the largest food trade fair ANUGA. At the Health & Functional Food Forum in Cologne in 2005, Preventa® won first prize in the international innovation competition 'New Foods'. The jury particularly emphasised the importance of the excellent research into the deuterium-poor products. The prize was awarded to the inventor, Gábor Somlyai, in Hamburg in June 2006. Preventa products are distributed by pharmacies and drugstores throughout Hungary and are internationally renowned. At Ergomax, we are therefore proud to be able to offer Preventa® in the Netherlands as well.
