Peltier Water
TM
What is it?
• "...Fish, amphibian, and reptile, warm-blooded bird
and mammal - each of us carries in our veins a
salty stream in which the elements are combined
in almost the same proportion as in sea water. This
is our inheritance from the day, untold millions of
years ago, when a remote ancestor, having
progressed from the one-celled to the many-celled
stage, first developed a circulatory system in which
the fluid was merely the water of the sea.”
From Rachel Carson’s “The Edge of the Sea“, 1962.

What is it?
• “In the same way, our lime-hardened
skeletons are a heritage from the calciumrich ocean of Cambrian time. Even the
protoplasm that streams within each cell
of our bodies has the chemical structure
impressed upon living matter when the
first simple creatures were brought forth
in the ancient sea...“
From Rachel Carson’s “The Edge of the Sea“, 1962.

• Rachel Carson’s assertions, spurred
research into finding a product that
matched this vision.
• After searching unsuccessfully for such a
product in the marketplace without
success research began into the
development of Peltier Water .

Research and Innovation
• Seventy five years of published research on the
role of electrolytes in human health provided the
framework for the development of Peltier
Water .
Also, the work of Dr. Björn Nordenström, M.D.,
Professor Emeritus of Diagnostic Radiology,
Karolinska Institute and Hospital, Stockholm,
Sweden and former Chairman of the Nobel Prize
Committee in Medicine and Physics provided
additional breakthroughs in the product’s
development.

Research and Innovation
• Dr. Nordenström’s work was considered to
be 200 years ahead of his time in
understanding how the human body
worked and it influenced the maintenance
of health. This assertion was made by 2time Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling.
Electrolytes are essential to the
maintenance of optimal health
What are Electrolytes?
• An electrolyte is a fluid solution that
conducts “electricity” in the human body.
• The main electrolytes are: sodium,
potassium, phosphorus, magnesium,
calcium bicarbonate, chloride and sulfate.
• It is the balance of these electrolytes that
is one of the keys to maintaining optimal
health.
Electrolytes are essential to the
maintenance of optimal health
What are Electrolytes?
• Electrolytes rely on water.
• “Water is the solvent in which most of the
chemical reactions of life occur.”
• "Water is compatible with more substances than any
known solvent, and therefore it is an ideal medium for
transporting nutrients in the cells and for the chemical
reactions of cellular metabolism to take place."

Electrolytes are essential to the
maintenance of optimal health
What are Electrolytes?
• There are supposedly more cells in the
body than stars in the universe and each
cell is dependent on water and the proper
ratio and concentration of electrolytes.
Electrolytes are essential to the
maintenance of optimal health
What are Electrolytes?
• “…the level of one or more electrolytes in
the body can stray far from the optimum
before we become sufficiently aware of
the problem to remedy it.”
•
Human Nutrition, Guthrie HA and Picciano MF, Mosby-Yearbook. St. Louis, 1995, p. 261
Electrolytes are essential to the
maintenance of optimal health
What are Electrolytes?
• According to one of the leading nutritional
textbooks used by universities worldwide:
“The maintenance of body fluid and
electrolytes is of vital importance for
sound health and nutrition.”

What makes Peltier Water unique
1. Peltier Water has a proportional balance
TM
of sodium, potassium, magnesium,
chlorides, bicarbonates, phosphorus and
sulfates.
2. Each of these electrolytes have been
established as important in the
maintenance of optimal wellness.

Unique Qualities
• What makes Peltier Water unique is that it
TM
•
•
contains the proper proportion of electrolytes
needed by most cells.
During manufacture a series of proprietary steps
are taken to introduce each electrolyte according
to strict formulation operation procedures.
This method of formulation remains unique in
the marketplace among similar products.

Electrolyte Salts
What they are and how they
effect optimal wellness in humans.
Electrolytes are essential to the
maintenance of optimal health
Sodium
• Sodium is an essential mineral necessary
for the transport of nutrients within the
body.
• However, in the American diet, excessive
intake of sodium is not only common but
at times, extraordinary.
Electrolytes are essential to the
maintenance of optimal health
Sodium
Example of a Processed Food Meal
• 4 Chicken Nuggets
•
•
•
w/cheddar cheese =
2200 mg
10 Potato Chips = 1028
mg
1 Sports Drink =
96
mg
This one meal = 3324
mgs!
• People are taking 2 – 3
•
•
times the amount of
sodium recommended by
expert panels.
The Recommended Daily
Allowance (RDA) of
sodium is 2400 mgs or
less.
The meal on the left
already exceeds this
amount.
Electrolytes are essential to the
maintenance of optimal health
Sodium
• According to the American Dietetic
Association, “…most of the sodium that
Americans consume comes from
processed or prepared foods, not from the
salt shaker at the kitchen table.”
•
The American Dietetic Association’s Complete Food and Nutrition Guide, Chronimed Publishing,
Minneapolis, 1996, p. 154.
Electrolytes are essential to the
maintenance of optimal health
Sodium
• The amount of Sodium in
•
processed foods is of
major concern.
The chart on the right
shows the difference
between a fast-food lunch
(1630 mg of Sodium) and
a made at home non
processed lunch (200
mg).

Sodium
• The amount of sodium a fast food meal
provides can easily be 70% to 150% of
the US RDA of sodium for adults. Add a
fast food breakfast and dinner and the
amount climbs. Think of doing this over
and over for 10 or 20 years and you can
appreciate the implications.
Electrolytes are essential to the
maintenance of optimal health
Sodium
• Because of the excesses of sodium in the
American diet, Peltier Water was
designed to have a low amount of sodium
per serving (64 mg).
• But it is the balance with potassium that
makes this formula even more unique.
TM
Electrolytes are essential to the
maintenance of optimal health
Potassium
• According to nutrition experts:
“It is possible that maintaining potassium intake
at a level equal to sodium intake (a
Sodium/Potassium intake ratio of 1:1) may
protect against the adverse effects of high
sodium intake.”

maintenance of optimal health
Potassium and Magnesium
Of further importance is the ratio of
potassium to magnesium.
• Potassium and magnesium acts as muscle
relaxants in counterbalance to calcium and
sodium which act as muscle contractants.
• But this is only the beginning of the
discussion of one of the most important
electrolytes, namely magnesium.
Electrolytes are essential to the
maintenance of optimal health
Magnesium
•
•
•
Magnesium is one of the most important
electrolytes of all.
Serves as an important part of more than 300
enzymes in the human body essential to optimal
functioning.*
An enzyme is a protein that affects the speed of
a metabolic reaction. The proper functioning of
enzymes are essential to the maintenance of
health.

p. 96.
Electrolytes are essential to the
maintenance of optimal health
Magnesium
• Imagine being bumped into.
• Now imagine getting bumped into 10,000
times faster.
• Enzyme reactions in the body have to
occur at great speeds to keep us healthy.
• A mineral catalyst like magnesium is
crucial to making these reactions happen
at critical rates of speed.
Electrolytes are essential to the
maintenance of optimal health
Magnesium
• “Helps maintain body cells in nerves and muscles.”
• “Serves as a component of bones”
• “The majority of magnesium is found in the
bones.”
•

Minneapolis, 1996, p. 96.
Electrolytes are essential to the
maintenance of optimal health
Magnesium
• The role of magnesium and health is so
important that in 1971 the International Society
for the Development of Research on Magnesium
was founded.
• Today, the peer-reviewed medical journal
Magnesium, is found in scientific libraries
worldwide.

Magnesium
• Peltier Water has nearly 6 times the
TM
amount of magnesium reportedly found in
the most popular sports drink on the

Magnesium and Potassium
• While participating in sporting activities, sweat
losses of magnesium can be 10-25% of the daily
loss. This can be very important to active adults
engaged in sports and other outdoor activities.
• “Avoidance of magnesium depletion is important
for the proper maintenance of carbohydrate
metabolism and for optimizing body potassium
balance…”

Phosphorus
• One rarely hears much about phosphorus yet it:
•
•
•
Helps generate energy in every cell in your body…
and acts as the main regulator of energy
metabolism in your body’s organs.*
Further, “It is a major component of bones and
teeth, second only to calcium.”
Also it, “Serves as part of DNA and RNA, which are
your body’s master plan for cell growth and repair.”
The American Dietetic Association’s Complete Food and Nutrition Guide, Chronimed Publishing,
Minneapolis, 1996, p. 96.
Electrolytes are essential to the

Chloride
• Often, chloride, another important electrolyte is
•
•
•
•
under appreciated.
It helps regulate fluids in and out of body cells.
Nutrition experts state that chloride… “is a
component of stomach acid, helps with the
digestion of your food and the absorption of
nutrients.” i.e. hydrochloric acid
It also, “Helps transmit nerve impulses, or
signals.”*
The American Dietetic Association’s Complete Food and Nutrition Guide, Chronimed Publishing, Minneapolis, 1996, p. 97.

Chloride
• Unfortunately, the top 3 sports drinks
contain 0 mg of chloride per serving.*
• Peltier contains 72 mg per serving.

Bicarbonate
• Bicarbonates are important in keeping
balance with chlorides in the body.
• Research has suggested that the use of
bicarbonates may be beneficial in the
absorption of proteins and in short-term
high intensity effort.
• McNaughton L, Backs K, Palmer G, Strange N, Effects of chronic bicarbonate
ingestion on the performance of high-intensity work, Eur J Appl Physiol, 1999,
80:333-336.

Sulfur
• Although sulfur is present in every cell of the
human body and is part of three essential
vitamins (thiamine, pantothenic acid, biotin),
and the powerful antioxidant lipoic acid, it is the
most neglected nutrient in all electrolyte
solutions in the market today.

Enhancing Other Nutritional Products
Of further importance:
• Electrolytes are a key factor in utilization
of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals and
play a role in fatty acid metabolism such
as when you consume fish or omega-3
rich fish oils.

• The American Medical Association (AMA) wanted
•
to lower normal body temperature from 98.6 to
98.0, not because it was healthier, but too few
people were found to have “an ideal” body
temperature.
This attempt to change what is considered an
ideal temperature for humans has a great deal
to do with one of the effects of Peltier Water

• Where did the name Peltier in the product name
•
•
come from?
Answer. It was named after the eminent French
physicist Jean Charles Peltier (1785-1845).
In 1834 he discovered that in an electrolyte
solution with trace minerals, you could create
heat or cold depending on the flow of the
electrons.

• It has been observed that maintaining
“balanced electrolyte” levels in cells can
result in normal temperature levels for
almost all cells, even those located in
extremities such as hands and feet. This
may be the result of the Peltier Effect. It
has been reported by people consuming
Peltier Water daily that “their hands and
feet are no longer cold.”
