What makes Amphora the best?

Our multi stage and proprietary process for all our products will get you in the best health of your life. We using cutting edge science (as we are scientists) to produce all of our products in house that make up our line up. We have invented our entire process by using what is called biomimicry. We use only what nature makes and do not use synthetics or nasty chemical processes to produce anything like 99% of all other brands. Your body is over 60-70% water and needs minerals and elements for health. This is the single most important thing for you to know as making this "water" inside your body full of all the essential minerals and elements, you gain full health.

Why did you create Amphora?

We created Amphora from our own selfish pursuits to feel better and have more energy as all the products off the shelf never did what they claimed or used nasty processes to produce their products. Many of us at Amphora have been test engineers and scientists that were also athletes and wanted to recover faster, feel energized and hit a level of health we knew could be possible. To do this we studied nature and how the human body worked. We noticed all of these companies used massive amounts of the element or mineral when in reality our body uses concentrations on an incredibly small scale.

Ever take a supplement and your urine is bright yellow? That's because you just passed what you took as it's not bioavailable. We had to crack the code as we all joked of who had more expensive urine... Over time, and many Ironman competitions, soccer matches, cyclocross competitions, snowboarding competitions and some wild marathons... Amphora was born as our founders began to outperform the field. All of our friends and family sat us all down and told us, " YOU HAVE TO SHARE THIS!"  So here we are!

Why only 5 products?

We pride ourselves on knowing the human body and have zero need to sell more products as we have found our 5 products hit the entire spectrum of health. We began as a water company to provide the best water known and through this found a perfect vehicle for health to supplement our broken food system. We have spent over 16 years perfecting Alphanon alone and after testing it for years have finally released it. We're not a company that tries to get to the market before testing as if we do not have immense benefits ourselves, we will never sell it.

Why isn't the bottle clear like most brands? Why HDPE? No Glass?

BPA bottles leach chemicals and harmful toxins into the water, we only use pharmaceutical grade bottles unlike any competitor. When exposed to sunlight clear bottles run the risk of growing bacteria immediately. If your water is exposed to sunlight for even minutes the ORP rises which means you do not get the majority of the health benefits. Carbonic acid which is what gives the water its life giving characteristics leaves the water as well as you can see these tiny bubbles on the side of the glass. Our bottle ensures you get all the health benefits Amphora Water provides. 

HDPE is a champ for ionic solutions—think electrolytes, salts, or mineral-rich liquids— just like we make because it’s chemically inert. Unlike glass, which is mostly silica (SiO₂) and can leach tiny amounts of alkali ions (like sodium or potassium) into a solution over time, HDPE doesn’t react or release anything. HPDE is pharmaceutical grade and used for this reason. Glass isn’t perfectly neutral; its surface can interact with ions, especially in highly acidic or basic solutions, leading to trace contamination. For example, in labs storing sodium chloride or potassium iodide solutions long-term, glass might contribute a few parts per million of unwanted ions. HDPE? Zero risk of that. It’s a plastic that just sits there, unbothered.

For specific ionic interactions, HDPE’s non-polar nature means it won’t attract or adsorb charged particles from the solution. Glass, with its polar silanol (Si-OH) groups, can sometimes bind cations or anions, subtly altering concentrations over time—think calcium or magnesium sticking to the surface in hard water experiments. HDPE avoids this entirely, keeping the solution’s ionic balance pristine. We also caution colored glass as there are concentrations of the coloring on the glass that touch the contents.

Why not use polypropylene like the other brands?

PP exposure causes mitochondrial injury and cytotoxicity manifested as ROS production, inflammatory responses, and cell death in vitro. That's a big NOPE from us. We're actual scientists that test all containers and we only settle for the best. Glass is a perceived luxury package when it can actually make a product far worse.

I found orange, brown or  tiny silver or whitish pieces in my product, is this normal?

Yes!  Our drops and products are 100% natural, so if the vials have sat for a bit, mineral or elemental dust may accumulate at the bottom of the vial. Give it a shake!  At Amphora we do natural everything and mimic nature, heck our founder even homemade his own deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo and we think may be sewing his own clothing at night, we'll see!

Why is pH / alkaline important?

Simply put, the more acidic your body is, the unhealthier you are. Our bodies have various buffers that keep the body at optimal health. Drinking alkaline water does not always equate to producing an alkaline effect and can sometimes ruin your gut health. We make products that produce an alkaline effect in the body just as it's known for lemon juice being acidic to produce alkaline ash.  If your bodies pH is too low (acidic) you age faster, can become diabetic, develop high blood pressure, gain weight, lose your energy, depression, bad memory, have sore joints, break bones, and can possibly develop many types of cancer and a never-ending list of bad medical conditions. This is the main reason why in many countries around the world the percentage of people who develop diseases and cancer has increased exponentially due to eating and drinking in a very unbalanced way.

When your body is slightly alkaline everything functions better. Your heart, your brain, your lungs and every part of your body run more efficiently and you dramatically slow your physical and mental aging process. The benefits are endless. 

What is ORP?

ORP Stands for Oxidation Reduction Potential. This is a very difficult concept to explain and gets very scientific. Simply put, the lower (-) the ORP, the better the water it is for you. If the ORP is high (+), your body drains itself of energy and life. High ORP water literally steals vital energy and life from you which essentially is slowly killing you. Low/Negative(-) ORP Water gives your body additional life and energy.  

What are the benefits of NMN?

Health Benefits of NMN

  1. Boosts NAD+ Levels: NMN is a precursor to NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a coenzyme essential for cellular energy production and repair. Increasing NAD+ levels can enhance cellular function and mitigate age-related declines.
  2. Improves Insulin Sensitivity and Metabolic Health: NMN has been shown to enhance insulin sensitivity, which can help manage diabetes and obesity. It also improves metabolic health by boosting energy metabolism and physical activity.
  3. Enhances Vascular Health: NMN promotes vascular health by improving blood flow and reducing inflammation in blood vessels. This can help prevent conditions like heart disease and stroke.
  4. Supports Heart Health: NMN has been found to protect against heart failure by improving mitochondrial function and reducing cardiac stress. It also helps in maintaining healthy heart tissue by reducing scarring.
  5. Neuroprotective Effects: NMN may slow cognitive decline by improving neuronal function and reducing oxidative stress in the brain. It has shown promise in models of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.
  6. Improves Eye Function: NMN supplementation has been linked to improved eye health, potentially reducing age-related vision impairments.
  7. Promotes Muscle and Bone Health: NMN can enhance muscle endurance and strength, and it has been shown to rejuvenate bone stem cells, promoting bone formation.
  8. Supports Fertility: NMN may improve female fertility by enhancing oocyte quality and number, particularly in older individuals.
  9. Reduces Inflammation and Oxidative Stress: NMN has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help mitigate chronic inflammation associated with aging and various diseases.
What are the benefits of Boron?

  • Improved Memory: Boron may enhance short-term and long-term memory by supporting brain cell communication. Studies, like one from the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, suggest that boron deprivation can impair memory performance in animals, implying its necessity for optimal brain function.
  • Enhanced Focus: It’s linked to better attention and concentration. Research indicates that low boron levels might reduce cognitive alertness, while adequate intake could sharpen mental acuity.
  • Faster Brain Processing: Boron appears to influence electrical activity in the brain, potentially speeding up reaction times and decision-making. A small human study from the USDA found that boron supplementation improved psychomotor skills and cognitive processing in older adults.
  • Neuroprotection: It may help protect brain cells by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, which are tied to cognitive decline. This is more speculative but aligns with boron’s role in regulating inflammatory markers.
Where is Amphora made?

Amphora is produced in our lab in the United States. Given we have a proprietary WFI machine to supply our source water, we can remove all impurities from any source of water including even stray ions that distillation alone cannot remove. We're a water technology company that makes health products unlike the rest who claim "purified water" using over the counter RO systems or running tap water through a deionizer.  

Amphora is bottled by hand giving each bottle the love and attention it needs. We are a family based business and will never sell to the massive corporations... EVER.  We want people to have health, not sell off a good thing to only have it changed for a company to improve their bottom line like many of our past favorite brands.

How long do you take to ship?

Typically orders ship within 2 business days with an up to 3 day processing time. We hand bottle every order! We do not warehouse or sell in stores any of our products as we cannot control the environment.
