Preventa deuterium-depleted drinking water products were developed on the base of HYD’s propriatory procedure, deuterium depletion. The world-first product family of Preventa is protected by international trademarks. Preventa drinking water products contain 15 to 84% less deuterium (125 to 25 ppm) than the natural level. The extent of reduction is by far higher than the natural fluctuation of deuterium content.
