MyHealth (formerly “Górski Potok plus tlen”) is spring water from the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland in Poland, which we aerate and structure with our own “Mountain Stream” technology. The result is water with an increased content of dissolved oxygen and a characteristic, clean taste.
Inspiration: a mountain stream
The most oxygenated water in nature is the water rushing down mountain streams and falling from waterfalls. Constant movement, impact against rocks and contact with air dissolve a lot of oxygen in it, and water molecules arrange themselves into more ordered forms – similar to those that make up snowflakes and raindrops.
Water drawn from underground lacks this movement. We decided to recreate it – in a controlled way, in a production installation.
What “structured water” means
In water physics, structuring refers to a spatially ordered arrangement of H₂O molecules. Instead of chaotic disorder, the molecules form dynamic, hexagonal, crystal-like formations, and the molecule clusters are smaller than in ordinary water.
In our technology, structuring goes hand in hand with saturating the water with the gases of the air – above all oxygen – in balanced proportions.
| Typical bottled and tap water | MyHealth water | |
|---|---|---|
| Molecular arrangement | disordered | ordered, smaller clusters |
| Dissolved oxygen | approx. 7–9 mg/l (saturated with air) | above 20 mg/l |
| Dissolved gases | varies – often with carbon dioxide | balanced composition of air gases |
| Treatment | depends on the producer | no added chemicals, including when rinsing bottles |
| Source | various | a spring in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland |
The oxygen content of water saturated with air depends on temperature – at 20°C it is approx. 9 mg/l.
“Mountain Stream” technology
We developed the installation in 2010 under the direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christian Hechtl with the participation of Polish engineers, and have been improving it ever since.
- Clean spring waterdrawn from sealed deposits in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland
- Aerationthe water is saturated with the gases of the air – just like in a mountain stream
- Structuringordering the water structure and saturating it with oxygen to above 20 mg/l
- Chemical-free bottlinginto glass and PET bottles, with no chemicals in the process
Oxygen that stays in the water
Dissolved oxygen is the most important feature of the water. Measurements from 2011 showed that for the first 2 hours after opening the bottle its content hardly changes. Today’s production achieves higher values than back then.

The science of oxygen nanobubbles
Dissolving oxygen in water in the form of very fine bubbles has been studied around the world for years. One of the most interesting papers on the subject was published by scientists from Osaka University.
The researchers generated oxygen and air nanobubbles (smaller than 200 nm) in water. The oxygen content rose from 7.7 to 31.7 mg/l, and the nanobubbles remained stable in the water for 70 days. The paper does not concern MyHealth water – it shows the physical properties of water with oxygen nanobubbles.

- Store in a cool, shaded place – at lower temperatures water retains oxygen better.
- After opening, keep the bottle closed and drink it within a few hours.
- Best enjoyed without heating – heating releases oxygen from the water.
- Glass or PET? The taste is the same – choose what is more convenient.
Why our customers like it
- a clean taste that quickly quenches thirst
- it is easier to drink the recommended amount of water during the day
- no foreign aftertaste
- packages delivered to your door
Good hydration
Water contributes to the maintenance of normal physical and cognitive functions. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of at least 2 litres of water from all sources.
MyHealth is spring water – a food product, not a medicinal product. It is not a substitute for a varied diet, a healthy lifestyle or treatment recommended by a doctor.
