There is a new liquid "nutritional" product out on the marketplace that caught my attention. Now, it didn't catch my attention because of a revolutionary compensation plan (it's a copy of a couple of other companies). What caught my attention is the product.
How do I put this? It's Salt Water!
This company wants you to buy a case of Salt Water for $150.
Seriously, I took a screen capture of the label:
Ingredients: Distilled Water and Sodium Chloride. Uhhhh, that's Salt Water!
The site has a whole bunch of mumbo jumbo simulated science, but the label is pretty clear.

better yet, I went to their website and the ingredient was not Sodium Chloride… it was Sodium, and seperately Choride (yes they spelled it Choride, NOT Chloride). I don’t even know what Choride is!
Wow. That’s pretty amazing.
come on Ty, I thought your blog was pretty dang good and informative until this last posting. I’m sorry you are so uneducated about the ASEA product and what it REALLY is. It’s beyond ingredients and beyond a lot of the other products out there. maybe a little more time and research would be worth it before posting about something you’re not clear on.
I posted the exact ingredients with a picture of the bottle….you want to let me know what ingredients I missed?
This doesn’t mean anything to me, but perhaps you or a reader can decode it. If ‘Asea’ ‘s anything more than saltwater, I’d think that whatever ‘more’ it is must be in the patent description: http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20090110749
Ty,
If you can take a moment and just think for a moment that not everything is as simple as ingredients listed on a bottle and do a little investigative work I know you will find out that ASEA is not just salt water. Look at the emerging science behind Redox Signaling and educate yourself on what these reactive molecules are and how your body produces and uses them and you will understand how revolutionary ASEA is. All I am asking is not the typical Knee Jerk reaction and look, research and then reach out to me for an explanation. You have a huge platform here please take a moment and get some facts on the product and the technology. Thank You.
Hi Mike, Thank you for the comment. How about you explain it to us…
Inside your body in each cell is a Mitochondria. The Mitochondria is the powerhouse for energy and essential for the immune system. The Mitochondria produces two sets of reactive molecules that the body uses to fuel the immune system. One set is the RS (Antioxidant Activators) and the other set is the ROS (Immune System Communicators). Think of the first set of molecules as the shield in your immune system and the second set as the Army. Over time as you Age, through disease or other damage/Injury individuals may loose the ability to produce these molecules.
The breakthrough is this. ASEA has managed to create and stabilize outside the body, the reactive molecules produced naturally by the mitochondria inside of your body. You can then drink, nebulize and inhale or topically apply ASEA to reintroduce these reactive molecules to the body. This is unlike an ingredient that may be natural like a herb, fruit or berry. Nutrition and natural ingredients are extremely important, but can go only so far. Without the proper balance of reactive molecules antioxidants are innefective.
Now, don’t take just my word on this. Google Redox Signaling. Find and read articles on RS and ROS molecules. Once your understand what they are then understand that ASEA is the first and only stable, perfectly balanced mixture of these Redox Signaling reactive molecules that exists outside the body.
Its hard to list those as ingredients but we have independent confirmation those molecules exist in every bottle of ASEA.

Ty, Thanks for the opportunity and platform you provide. If you want more from me let me know. Thank you.
loved the video on how ASEA is made, although you might have been a little lite on the salt, and it’s not regular tap water, but it was good. I think you/I should make a few of those videos for all the berry juice and antioxidant people out there. squishing some juice out into a cup, or going down to the healthfood store and just buying for a fraction of what they charge.
great explanation from Mike above on what ASEA really is. I’d love to continue the conversation with you on it too Ty.
Take care.
I am currently talking to my lawyer about what can be done about one of the biggest scams to ever emerge the MLM scene. I have began to study the redox process after I was approached by an ASEA team member. My first warning signal sounded with the “REDOX” signaling, which sounded like a super secret term to hide a reason for $150 a gallon SALT WATER. My second warning came when I read the ingredient list SODIUM CHLORIDE. My third came after I read the study “scientists” performed to prove the effect of ASEA. It is the most UNscientific approach to a study that I have ever read. NO large test group. NO double blind, placebo controlled results. A VERY short test period. Taking ONE of the participants results and making that ONE result the studies FINAL result, then stating; two weeks is too short a time to fully observe the results of this study, so one could assume that these results will CONTINUE to improve. (paraphrased) THIS IS A SCAM!!! I don’t care what they say about REDOX SIGNALING this is glorified SALT WATER. Most people could actually benefit from putting a pinch of REAL SEA SALT in a bottle of distilled water. you would get many minerals that would actually benefit the mitochondria as well as the other cells in the body. MLM programs often prey on the elderly who are concerned with immediate health issues. I study health issues with a passion and I would love to find the magic bullet for health and prosperity. THIS IS NOT IT! The science used to define the actual process is for the most part BOGUS. REDOX is defined as a process in which one thing is oxidized and another is reduced. when I can acquire the exact process, believe you me I will crack this nut ALL over the place. Using a bunch of scientific sounding terms around people is intimidating and used to snare them into a sell. Not to mention the unsanitary process in which the water is bottled! with the “swine flu” and other virus scares on peoples minds, the workers in the bottle plant should NEVER be allowed to work in an area where the bottles are touched without a face mask and gloves. I really feel poorly towards the individuals who have joined the ASEA team and believe in the product. To them I say, study the human body, study the scientific process, study the methods of healing and most of all, read the 8th commandment which states “THOU SHALT NOT STEAL” and the one that says don’t lie and there should be one that states thou shalt not charge $150 a gallon for a bottle of distilled tap water.
Recently I accidently got shower gel with essential oils in my eye and the pain and resulting redness was quite severe. After a few hours with no improvement I sprayed Asea directly in my eye. Naturally, since this is not “regular saltwater ” there was no stinging sensation. Within a short time there was noticeable improvement and relief from pain.
Try spraying regular saltwater in your eye and see how it feels.
Great example Mike.
I think what is being missed here is the “salt water” is the carrier.
In the doctors office, carriers are used all the time to transport various chemicals into the body. Saline (salt water) is primarily used to transport certain drugs into the body.
For example…when you visit someone at the hospital…they are attached to an IV drip. what is in the bottle? Saline.
Saline is closest thing to the water already in your body. Anything else will make your kidneys work overtime.
So…you are NOT just drinking “salt Water”…it is what is INSIDE the salt water…that makes a difference.
Hope this helps.
OK. I’m confused. What is in ASEA if it’s not sodium and chloride? There is nothing on the label other than those two minerals, plus distilled water.
Sodium and chloride are both considered electrolytes because they carry an electric charge. So, basically, from what I can tell, Gatorade does the same thing but tastes a lot better and costs a lot less.
Mike, how can you say it is the first and only perfectly balanced formula? These things are by their very nature unbalanced. If they were balanced, they would not be of any use in the redox reactions that the product purportedly is used for.
What about Evolv with Trey White?
Trey White? Check that guy’s history out. He was one of the guys that took Homestore.com public. Homestore.com is on Forbes’ “Corporate Scandal Sheet” for defrauding investors for milions.
http://www.forbes.com/2002/07/25/accountingtracker.html
Dig a little deeper and you find that Trey White’s other company, White Energy, just filed bankruptcy. I think it was after he left, but what kind of corporate leader is proud to list this stuff on his resume? A scandalous company and then a bankrupt company.
http://www.white-energy.com/Notice%20of%20Comm.pdf
By the way, he’s nowhere listed as a billionaire except with Evolv reps.
Rudy,
while i wanted to know ty’s opinion on Evolv, i appreciate this info. I am a prof network biz owner and when this opp presented itself the first thing i checked out was the leadership.
while the product sounded only slightly interesting, i could not for the life of me get impressed about any of the leaders. i did sign up for pre-launch, but never invested any more of my time and def none of my money.
i am spoiled and extremely blessed to follow amazing leaders and hold the bar high in comparison to any other venture i entertain.
again, thanks…..
g
Geneva,
We will be posting an article about Evolv in the next couple of days….stay tuned.
i will & thanks. since this was a dallas company, i like to stay informed of things in my “neighborhood”.
g
I just talked with someone in Dallas about a new company there called EIRO. Looks pretty interesting. If you’re in Dallas, you may want to check it out.
http://www.eiro.com
Rudy, check that site again. You’ll see that Ty’s quite familiar with EIRO.
Lets keep it real….its salt water. Now if you can spray it into your eyes and not feel a sting like Samm said, then that concerns me too. There must be other ingredients in this product that’s not listed. Maybe if someone listed all of the wonderful changes that happen once they started drinking this, I would be more inclined to disagree with Ty.
@Mike, You really need to take an A&P class before you try to explain something you clearly know nothing about.
It’s a shame this company scams people into believing H2O + NaCl = Magic Formula for your body…
Selling to the uneducated. That’s how these scams work. It’s probably not your fault, you may not understand how the human body works either.
@Matthew, Saline in an IV bag has nothing to do with your kidneys. If saline was not used, then your red blood cells would swell and burst. (hypotonic solution)
If the ingredients on the bottle say Water and NaCl, then you ARE drinking saline (salt water).
In addition, there isn’t anything “in” the salt water. NaCl is NaCl is NaCl, there is nothing more. (Basic Chemistry)
I suggest buying a nice used textbook from your local community college and read up.
Ty, Get ready to wipe the egg off your face. Former University of Utah President Chase Peterson (who was also Dean of Admissions for Harvard University and Dean of the U of U Medical School, a renown physician himself) wrote the forward to the book; The Science of Healing Revealed: New insights into Redox Signaling (please note the word “New” in the title) which was written by the award winning Atomic/Medical Physicists, Gary L Samuelson, Ph.D for the express purpose of explaining how ASEA works. (Gary was asked to write the book by the company founders.) Gary is the scientist responsible for tweaking the formulation of the Asea product making it stable and marketable. This is CUTTING EDGE nano science. Gary is a consultant to a variety of companies in the health science industry. He has helped developed the large-scale production of safe, stable nanoparticle structures capable of safely disabling viruses, attacking bacteria, detecting tumors and delivering drugs. The resultant product is capable of stimulating many of the body’s natural healing responses. (Think ASEA) Gary plans on publishing several other books to inform the public about NEWLY EMERGING science and how it can improve our health.
I guess if stable nanoparticles were an ingredient they would be listed on the bottle. You are understandably and forgivably behind in your scientific studies as this is so cutting edge. And, it is simply not duplicable without Gary’s methodology. The scientific world states that it cannot be done because they haven’t figured out how to do it yet. This is the stuff of Nobel Prizes similar to Patric Flannagan’s Microhydrin. I would be happy to send you a complimentary copy of the book.
I have met the CEO, the President and Gary Samuelson and can assure you that you will be hard pressed to find men of higher quality and more integrity in the whole world. Their motives for passing up a multimillion dollar offer from a drug company to ensure that this product was available to those who were benefiting from it are most honorable and admirable. As unbelievable as it sounds, they are not in it for the money, they have all they need. Their motive is humanitarian. You would do well to pay attention to the people who have actually met the company’s founders, read the book, listened to the presentations and used the product.
The “proof is in the pudding” here. Anyone who hasn’t tried the product for at least a week and done some before and after measurements should hold their peace.
My healthy, athletic children (ages 26, 25, 22, 18) have noted exceptional endurance, recovery times and decreased muscle soreness after their sports games. My 18 year olds skin condition has shown miraculous improvements.
To David Bradley: The double blind, placebo controlled studies are in the works and the preliminary findings are incredible, especially in the athletic field where it is being studied in the athletic arena by a major university. Mind you they are not trying to promote this thing as a drug, just a nutritional supplement. If double blind, placebo controlled studies were required on all foods, most grocery store products would fail miserably and be pulled from the shelves. There are a few other scriptures you should review here such as “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” I hope no one is allowed to judge you who has not met you, does not know your heart and who knows so little about you. And “thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.” You really need to get to know these men and do some serious due diligence before you spend your money on an attorney. I’d be happy to send you a book and sponsor a visit to the corporate headquarters for you.
To Aaron: My bottle has Chloride spelled correctly. I hope no one judges me on my typos, there wouldn’t be a hell deep enough. I thank God for spell check daily!
P.S. I use the product daily and so does Dr. Peterson and his wife, at least one former Olympic champion (turned orthopedic surgeon) and someone associated with the Tour de France (I’m sorry, I don’t remember his name), the CEO, the President, all the staff and their families.
Oh, and it does taste like pool water but mixing it with anything will denature it unlike Gatorade or any of the other solutions out there. That is because it is NOT just salt water if it were they certainly would have made it taste better!
The bottom line here is: If you can show me some credentials and updated, cutting edge scientific proof that this stuff is a scam and doesn’t work I will have to apologize and return to the lesser state of health I was in before I found ASEA. My athletic children will be really upset!
Seriously, I believe that God or the Creator or the Universe or whatever you believe in is watching over us and trying to give us alternatives to the current health crises we face and there are many inspired and healthful products available now and being developed to that end. Thanks for hearing me out. Got to go take my ASEA!
Please see my entry below.

Just one more thought. I sure wished I could get a drug company to offer me multimillions of dollars for salt water. I’d sell in a nano second!!! They must have seen past the sodium chloride. Can’t help but wonder…
C’mon Cheryl…there are no studies of this Asea hocus-pocus science. You are asking me to disprove something that doesn’t exist. It’s a common fallacy, you can’t prove what you are saying so you throw your hands up in the air and tell me to prove you wrong. Well, your wrong not because I say so, but because you don’t have any evidence that this Asea product is anything more than salt water.
You can’t spray Salt water in your eyes without it hurting… some say
However, Saline Solution you put in your eyes for contacts has Water (H20) + Salt (SODIUM CHLORIDE)
in it. Usually has other ingredients to keep it from going stale on the store shelf.
This is off topic, but since Evolv got brought up, Ken Dunn, former Master at Max, just announced last night he and his key leaders have joined Evolv.
@Cheryl, judging by your nick (RN), you would also know that it’s difficult to prove something without a “peer reviewed” scientific articles. You did write papers in Nursing school didn’t you??? Your example of your children using the product is hardly a scientific study that proves anything. All it proves is that you bought into the pitch that some slick salesman got you to invest in.
Just for kicks I went into my University’s database to see if I could find anything that would support your statements… Y’know, Medline, JSTOR, EBSCO Host.. How many peer review articles pop up??? none, because there is no such thing.
I guess that it would be good for my sore throat that I could gargle, but I’ll stick with the table salt and water.
Thanks for reviewing my comments, Ty. Actually, there are 15 million dollars worth of studies on this stuff. I will see if I can tell you where it is. I know it was studied at the University of Utah in it’s final stages. There are some studies on their website and more underway. The Orthopedic Specialty Hospital in Murray, Utah is currently conducting a double blind placebo controlled athletic study as we speak and the results will be posted on the website in a few weeks. This thing really is CUTTING EDGE, meaning you won’t find answers in research older than 2 years. Redux signalling is a big deal right now and many universities are studying it. They actually say it is impossible to stabilize these reactive molecules because they have been unable to do so. Dr Gary Samuelson was able to accomplish the task and ASEA was born. Keep you eye on this stuff, especially the athletic arena. The evidence that I don’t know how to show you is the reactive molecule. I will work on that one. I did read the book, meet the owners and the scientist and I experienced the product. Thanks again.
G, Actually, it would be excellent for your sore throat but not because of the sodium chloride alone. The stabilized reactive molecules would do the most good. I understand your concern that I bought into a slick salesman but really I was the one who sold myself. They were not at all “slick”. Dr.Bruce Lipton, who taught anatomy to med students and did research at Penn State and Stanford says that it takes about 20 years for the science to reach the medical community. I’m sure the peer review will be coming. Keep your eye out. Columbus didn’t make his maps before he sailed. My best to you.
I wished this blog had an “edit your reply” before posting so I could fix my typos. Please excuse them.
This subject goes way beyond Asea.
Perhaps a little lesson in the subjects of pseudoscience, and the placebo effect are in order.
Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:
“Identifying pseudoscience
A field, practice, or body of knowledge might reasonably be called pseudoscientific when (1) it is presented as consistent with the accepted norms of scientific research; but (2) it demonstrably fails to meet these norms, most importantly, in misuse of scientific method.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoscience
The placebo effect is real as well and needs to be taken into account:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo
This is exactly why double blind placebo studies that are peer reviewed and then published are the gold standard, preferably studies that are paid for by by others than the ones who are to benefit financially.
Much caution bust be taken before undertaking a path that will result in hundreds or thousands of people spending their hard earned cash on something that will eventually be proven to be pseudoscientific in nature.
hope this helps…
Another word of caution,
A company invents terms in their literature that sound credible, and are used over and over by that company to sound convincing.
The one study they offer is poor, vague, not peer reviewed, and not published in any scientific journals which would be in the best interest of the company in the first place.
They do not have much to show for the tens of millions, and 20 years of research that are supposedly behind the product.
An 0.15% saline solution with an electrical charge induced is in essence what you are paying for.
Perhaps some study needs to be done on what people are selling you as H2O and making billions of dollars on as well:
Here is a chemists pint of view:
http://www.chem1.com/CQ
There are tremendously beneficial things we can offer people that will actually help them.
Bob, your caution is good. Your facts a little off. My husband is also a chemist (Masters Degree from Berkley) and he loves the stuff. It hass given him the edge on the men he swims with every morning. Not that it it is proof but it sure has been fun. He might let him in on his little secret sometime. The terms Asea uses are understood and accepted in the scientific forum. Dr Samuelson would not jeopardize his award winning career making up terms. Have you read his book? They actually spent 15 million dollars developing the science behind ASEA and another 14 million getting it to pass the FDA when they realized that it had to have an acceptable toxicity level to qualify for FDA approval which it does not. They cannot regulate something that is not toxic. Also, they are not making billions of dollars. Like I said, the studies are coming. Watch for them, you may be surprised. Good luck.
P.S. They were down to the last step in the FDA approval process when the current owners acquired it and opted not to sell it to a pharmaceutical company.
Wouldn’t they have some record of the studies that were done for the FDA? Where are those?
Yea. They chose network marketing versus selling to big pharma. Thank you ASEA for your kindness to humanity!
Cheryl,
Asea is obviously not making billions, the high dollar H2O industry is what I was reffering to.
Unfortunately doctors are human in nature, and get paid a lot of money by pharmaceutical companies to do all kinds of things and say all kinds of things. Hence the need for the peer reviewed, published studies.
Quality water is very important to us all, but the information that causes us to purchase it redirects funds, time, and hope.
When the evidence (beyond testimonials) is available in the form of undeniable irrefutable credibility, I look forward to the good news. I respect who you are and know I have provided enough information to encourage you to truthfully move forward.
One thing I have learned as an experienced (unbiased) high income earner in the industry is this:
Companies/People who have a lot of potential money at stake will always make it sound as good as possible. That is their agenda. Unfortunately It often takes the path of hype.
As an entrepreneur I believe in the free market, and getting paid very well for promoting irrefutably beneficial products and services to thousands. I will keep my eye on Asea for the studies.
Bob, WOOPS! Sorry I miss understood you about the billions. You are very wise and I agree with much of what you said. The Asea is not a water replacement and should not be used to replace water in the diet. Two to four ounces a day is all that is necessary. It is not one of the 85 or so MLM juices on the market today. (Some of which are wonderful). The Asea liquid is the same as the fluid found in the cell. It has everything to do with redox signaling, oxidant/anti-oxidant reactions, ATP production, Glutathione, and a host of other processes in the cell. I understand that they (the University of Utah science department) measured an increase of 500% of Glutathione production with the use if Asea which would be awsome if validated. Talk about anti-aging!! I’m sure the increased ATP is responsible for the athletic response. The research is forthcoming and will be available as is it completed. The company is not interested in collecting testimonials. They already know what it can do. You will not find any testimonials in their literature. Thanks for your patience. You will be rewarded.
Thank you Cheryl,
I was done posting here, but after reading your note I felt led chime in once again.
The company quotes:
“In independent studies, it was shown that ASEA when in contact with living cells increased the efficiency of some of our body’s most important native antioxidants (Glutathione and SOD) more than 500% and also increased their rate of production.”
Your statement “increase of 500% of Glutathione production” is somewhat inconsistent with what they claim.
They seem to have very carefully inserted the word “efficiency.” What is claimed on the website and the study I read is vague, and generally unscientific.
I have seen many companies make vague claims before that have the effect of people thinking they are the only ones in the world to have the Holy Grail in supplements. Belief is powerful in people If we can induce hope in people. Look at the verifiable science first.
We will see if or when a peer reviewed study is done and published, preferably in one of the caliber of “Free Radical Biology and Medicine” which would then be available to the public in PubMed.gov.
Sorry one more thing…they say “when in contact with living cells.” That does not mean it increases the entire body’s production of Glutathione, Superoxide Dismutase, and Catalase, which could easily be measured with the gold standard of testing Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances or TBARS as it is known.
I lied, one more thing.
To respectfully correct you; the company does use testimonies. There is an entire page on the website…not that testimonies are a bad thing in and of themselves. Unless they are stating things that lead people circumvent proven treatments.
Did I read that correctly? ASEA was down to the final step in FDA approval as a drug but opted for the mlm channel? I’m not an expert, but I know enough about the process to know what it takes to get a drug FDA approved. If they were down to the last step, that means there are clinical trials somewhere and likely with human subjects.
The final step in pharma production is to have a broad-based placebo controlled human clinical trial. It usually has thousands of subjects and costs MILLIONS. The only time drug companies take on such an expense is if there is a SURE BET. A new pharma drug can be a BILLION dollar success, so taking a gamble with a few million is a good one if you have good data.
Here is the red flag on this story: IF THE DATA WERE THAT GOOD, THEY WOULD HAVE COMPLETED THE FDA REGISTRATION AND SOLD A DRUG.
Honestly, the money is better for drugs than nutritionals. What MLM company has ever created more revenue than a Celebrex, Viagra, Lipitor, or Claritin? It hasn’t. Don’t be fooled, people. Find a company that has good products, solid results, and a great comp plan.
DON’T GET SUCKED INTO A COMPANY BUILT ON HYPE AND A BINARY PLAN.
BULL***! I know you’re being sarcastic, Bill, but good business people do not pull out of clinical data on drugs if it shows promise. It is ALWAYS worth the gamble if the data is there. See my post below. . .
This one paragraph should tell you they are sacmmers it is not of human nature to have enough money. What a joke. I have met the CEO, the President and Gary Samuelson and can assure you that you will be hard pressed to find men of higher quality and more integrity in the whole world. Their motives for passing up a multimillion dollar offer from a drug company to ensure that this product was available to those who were benefiting from it are most honorable and admirable. As unbelievable as it sounds, they are not in it for the money, they have all they need. Their motive is humanitarian. You would do well to pay attention to the people who have actually met the company’s founders, read the book, listened to the presentations and used the product.
This one statement tells the whole truth I think it is obserd to say they have enough money ha ha that is not human nature. I agree with Rudy statment above. Re read this fairytale and tell me it is not a scam!

Rudy, Obviously they did it for the children.
I don’t know where this comes from, but this link shows that there are no studies on ASEA other than microbial testing and safety testing–both of which are standard operating procedures for consumer goods companies.
http://www.merchantcircle.com/blogs/ASEA.SECRETS.DOT.COM.207-266-7772/2009/8/ASEA-FAQs/327897
“9. Have any clinical trials been conducted on ASEA™?
ASEA™ is a nutritional supplement. Besides extensive safety and antimicrobial testing, no other studies have or must be performed. ASEA™ does not claim to mitigate, prevent or cure any disease. ASEA™ simply contains the raw materials that our body and the immune system need to help protect us and defend us. There is extensive evidence, based on studies done on the individual reactive molecules contained in ASEA™, that these reactive molecules are indeed produced and used in large amounts by the body and the immune system. The role that these reactive molecules play in the body is becoming increasingly well understood and is actively being studied all over the world.”
