The Truth About Hexagonal Water vs. Bio-Available Oxygen
A customer recently asked a question that I thought others would like answered as well.
“Is OxygenSuperCharger™ the same as hexagonal water?”
The short answer is no — and when you understand hexagonal water vs bio-available oxygen side by side, the difference is striking. They are not two versions of the same thing. They work on completely different principles. Knowing how they differ can help you make a better choice when looking at oxygen or hydration supplements.
What Is Hexagonal Water?
Hexagonal water proposes a specific arrangement of water molecules — a cluster of six H₂O molecules joined in a ring-like hexagonal shape. Sellers claim this structure makes water absorb better, improves nutrient uptake, removes cellular waste, and even slows aging.
There is a kernel of real chemistry here. Water molecules do form temporary hexagonal patterns, particularly near certain surfaces, at very low temperatures, and in ice. Hydrogen bonds between molecules make this possible.
However, the problem is that those bonds do not last. They rearrange constantly — on timescales measured in femtoseconds, which is one millionth of one billionth of a second.1 These hexagonal structures, once created, do not survive long enough to get into a bottle and then reach your cells. In other words, the water has no memory of whatever vortex, magnetic field, or infrared treatment the manufacturer applied.
Furthermore, a 2022 review published in PubMed Central (PMC), the U.S. National Library of Medicine’s open-access database, looked at the full range of claims made about structured water products — including those sold as hexagonal water, cluster water, and microclustered water. The reviewers found that the proposed mechanisms, including altered water structure, did not hold up. Specifically, any benefits reported in studies were attributable to other factors rather than the water’s structure.2

What Is Bio-Available Oxygen?
Bio-available oxygen is, therefore, a different category entirely. It has nothing to do with water structure. Instead, it is about dissolved oxygen — forming a stable O₄ molecule called Polyatomic Tetraoxygen, suspended in a saline solution and ready for the body to use.
Here is why that distinction matters. Inside a water molecule, the oxygen atom bonds covalently to two hydrogen atoms. In that state, it cannot be used by your cells. The oxygen is not available — it is part of the molecule. Indeed, the U.S. Geological Survey describes dissolved oxygen as oxygen that is separate from the H₂O molecule, not part of it.3 Similarly, fish do not breathe the oxygen in H₂O — they breathe dissolved oxygen O₂ floating between water molecules. The difference between hexagonal water vs bio-available oxygen comes down to this: one manipulates water structure; the other delivers oxygen that is already separate and available.
OxygenSuperCharger™ uses ASO® (Activated Stabilized Oxygen) technology. The process starts with purified water and a small amount of a proprietary sea salt blend. An electrical current then runs through the water, separating oxygen from hydrogen — a process called electrolysis. Next, four oxygen molecules bond to the minerals in the saline solution, which gives the product its stability and long shelf life. Large filters remove most of the salt at the end. What remains is stabilized oxygen in a liquid base, with a nearly neutral pH of 7.4. Consequently, the product stays stable for years without losing its oxygen content.
Side-by-Side Comparison
The table below summarizes how hexagonal water vs bio-available oxygen compare across the dimensions that matter most to anyone evaluating these products.
| Property | Hexagonal Water | Bio-Available Oxygen |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Water claimed to hold a hexagonal molecular arrangement | Four oxygen molecules (O₄) bonded to minerals in a saline solution |
| Active component | Molecular structure (arrangement of H₂O clusters) | Stabilized O₄ molecules |
| How it’s made | Vortex, magnets, infrared, or similar treatments applied to water | Electrolysis of purified water and sea salt; oxygen separated and restabilized |
| Stability | Hydrogen bonds rearrange in femtoseconds — structure cannot survive bottling | Stabilized in a saline solution with a 3-year shelf life |
| What reaches your cells | Ordinary water — the structure does not survive to absorption | Dissolved oxygen molecules ready for use |
| pH | Varies; often alkaline | ~7.4 — nearly neutral, safe to take directly by mouth |
| Clinical research | No peer-reviewed human trials show benefit over plain water | ASO® studied in double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials4 |
| Caustic chemicals | Not typically an issue | None — no sodium chlorite, chlorine dioxide, or hydrogen peroxide |
Why the Distinction Matters
First, not all oxygen supplements are the same — and some do not contain oxygen at all. Moreover, older-technology products rely on a chemical reaction inside the body to generate oxygen after you swallow them. These typically involve sodium chlorite or chlorine dioxide and can have a pH of 13.0 or higher — well into caustic territory that will burn your skin. If a product label tells you to dilute before use, that could be why.
OxygenSuperCharger™ contains no sodium chlorite, no chlorine dioxide, and no hydrogen peroxide. Because the oxygen is already in the liquid before you take it, the pH stays neutral, and the product needs no dilution — you can take it by mouth or add it to water.
In short, hexagonal water and bio-available oxygen often get lumped together because both involve water and make claims about cellular health. However, they start from completely different premises. One bets on a water structure that cannot survive in a bottle. The other, by contrast, delivers a real, stable, measurable substance — dissolved molecular oxygen — that cells actually use.
What the Clinical Research Shows
Notably, researchers have put ASO® technology through peer-reviewed clinical trials. Specifically, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in PubMed Central (PMC) examined the effect of ASO® on trained runners. It found that taking the oxygen supplement improved how quickly the body cleared lactate after intense exercise — a meaningful measure of recovery.4
In contrast, no comparable research exists for hexagonal water. Moreover, the 2022 PMC review found no peer-reviewed human trials showing that any structured water product improves hydration, nutrient absorption, or any other measurable health outcome compared to plain water.2 That gap in evidence is, ultimately, what separates hexagonal water vs bio-available oxygen most clearly — one has clinical support, and the other does not.
Also Consider
Finally, if you are looking for additional support for your body’s oxygen levels, OxygenSuperCharger™ is a bio-available liquid oxygen supplement that provides stabilized oxygen directly to the body.
