⚡️ What Is ORP — and Why Does It Matter?

Understanding the antioxidant potential of water

🔋 ORP = Oxidation-Reduction Potential

ORP measures a liquid’s ability to give or take electrons.

Think of it as a snapshot of how “oxidizing” or “antioxidant” that liquid is.

It’s measured in millivolts (mV):

Positive ORP (+mV)

Oxidizing

• Pulls electrons away
• Creates oxidative stress
• Found in soda, tap water, chlorinated water

Negative ORP (–mV)

Antioxidizing

• Donates electrons
• Neutralizes free radicals
• Found in fresh fruits/vegetables, ERW, Vitamin C
