THE ULTIMATE HEALTH AND BEAUTY SECRET:
HYDRATE!
The lowering of surface tension is what makes ‘water wetter’— and facilitates all-important cellular hydration. It’s a well-known fact that dehydration is one of the most common causes of improper functioning of many body systems. Cellfood’s unique formula helps keep your body well hydrated throughout the day and night. No other formula can do so much for your overall health. By adding just 24 drops of Cellfood to your water bottle each day, you’ll clean and detoxify, help to eliminate free radicals, and bring oxygen, hydrogen and plant nutrients into your body. And Cellfood has a 100% satisfaction guarantee, with NO time limit!
Surface Tension (mN/m)
A study by Augustine Scientific Research Center shows that Cellfood lowers the surface tension of water— improving all-important cell hydration.

Study Conclusion: Cellfood was shown to reduce the surface tension of water from 73 mN/m to a much lower 40 mN/m, the same surface tension as extracellular body fluids. This greatly improves hydration— critical to healthy cellular function, absorption of nutrients, and the vital removal of harmful toxins. Manufactured by NuScience Corporation
