I was quite skeptical to read the word describing the product in the questions title.
But there is really no weaker word allowed to describe this extraordinary scam.
Their website is full of it but does not list anything remotely coming close to a list of ingredients.
They have a sub-page called "science-faq". That lists probably the loophole their legal team dug out for them:
Redox signaling technology has not been evaluated by the FDA. However, ASEA manufacturing is FDA registered, NSF certified, and meets all FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). NSF International’s GMP Registration Program enables manufacturers to become independently registered by NSF to meet GMP requirements. The program is open to manufacturers of dietary supplements who want to demonstrate their commitment to public safety. These GMP requirements are listed in Section 8 of NSF/ANSI 173, which is the only accredited American National Standard in the dietary supplement industry developed in accordance with the FDA’s 21 CFR part 111.
Health claims on the order delivered here are not evaluated, independent testing nowhere to be found.
To get closer to the truth, we have to read the label on the bottle:
And yeah. Sodium and Chloride are vital elements, they play a role in diverse "signalling processes"? So what now?
Their claims have to be taken with a pinch of salt. Conveniently their product delivers just that. And nothing more, dissolved in water.
Looks like everyone should buy one bottle, just to participate in a following lawsuit against the manufacturer, the marketers and every seller and market place involved in this. If indeed a real physician recommended this he should be reported to some authorities that might take some action on this multi-level marketing frauds and this accomplice.
Although one picture says more than the words needed to deride this pile of money well invested, here is nice write up:
ASEA: Another Expensive Way to Buy Water:
ASEA is made in Utah from municipal water that is highly purified using both reverse osmosis and distillation. The pure water is then combined with pure salt and allowed to cure, before undergoing a patented process that oxidizes and reduces the saline solution into the final product. During processing most of the chloride ions are integrated into redox molecules. Sodium ions are not effected [sic] and help to maintain electrical neutrality. Hydrogen and oxygen also contribute to the formation of redox molecules, but most of the water forms a matrix of clusters around the active redox molecules and ions. This micro-clustering further contributes to the stability and electrical neutrality of the product. The final product is no longer a saline solution. It is not salt and water. It is a balanced buffet of redox molecules. The raw materials have been transformed into a new product. Ingredients: Some people ask why redox Molecules are not listed as an ingredient on each bottle of ASEA. By comparison, when we look at the ingredients on a loaf of bread, we find flour, water, eggs, sugar, oil, yeast, etc. Nowhere on the list does it say “bread”. The raw ingredients have been blended and heated and forever transformed. You can no longer locate the eggs or oil that we know went into the process. It’s the same with ASEA.
This is very creative, but it’s not science. It’s just an attempt to baffle you with bull****.
