Pure reverse-osmosis water infused with non-GMO whole cloves — delivering one of nature's most potent antioxidants in every sip. Clean. Honest. Accessible.
Cloves have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years — and modern science is confirming why. Here's what research shows about the active compounds in every bottle of CloveH₂O.
Eugenol is cloves' primary active ingredient, making up 45–90% of clove essential oil. It's classified as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA and has been studied extensively for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Every bottle of CloveH₂O delivers eugenol naturally through our whole-clove cold infusion.
Cloves rank among the highest antioxidant capacity of any food ingredient, with an ORAC score exceeding 290,000 µmol TE per 100g — outperforming cinnamon, oregano, and blueberries. Eugenol neutralizes free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative stress.
PMC Antioxidant Study, 2023Eugenol inhibits key inflammatory pathways including NF-κB and suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α) — the same biological pathways targeted by many anti-inflammatory medications, but naturally and gently.
ACS Omega / NCBI, 2025Research shows clove compounds effectively reduce oral bacteria like Streptococcus mutans — inhibiting plaque, gingivitis, and harmful bacteria. Herbal rinses with clove outperformed commercial essential oil mouthwashes in clinical studies.
Medical News Today / NIHCloves stimulate the production of digestive enzymes and have recognized carminative properties — reducing gas and bloating. Studies also suggest clove extract may enhance stomach lining mucus production, supporting gut comfort.
MedicineNet / Traditional Medicine ResearchAnimal studies show clove extract and its compound nigericin reduced insulin resistance in muscle cells, improved glucose tolerance, and enhanced insulin secretion. Early research suggests cloves may help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
Healthline / PMC Animal StudiesLaboratory studies confirm clove's eugenol, gallic acid, and tannins have powerful antimicrobial effects — with documented activity against bacteria including resistant Helicobacter pylori strains and urinary tract infection pathogens.

Two ingredients. Infinite benefit. We cold-steep non-GMO whole cloves in reverse-osmosis purified water — nothing else. No sugar, no flavor enhancers, no shortcuts. Just water the way it should taste, working the way nature intended.
We don't make claims we can't back up. Every benefit we highlight is supported by published research.
Eugenol blocks the NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway — a key target in managing chronic inflammation — matching mechanisms used by many pharmaceutical anti-inflammatories.
Studies confirm clove extracts significantly reduce tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels — a critical marker of systemic inflammation linked to chronic disease.
Eugenol from cloves carries FDA "Generally Recognized As Safe" status for food use — meaning it's been reviewed and deemed safe for consumption at typical culinary levels.
Every CloveH₂O batch is independently tested for eugenol concentration, purity, and microbial safety before bottling. We share our certificates on request.
We source certified non-GMO whole clove buds from verified farms — hand-selected at peak aromatic and bioactive potency.
Our water base is triple-filtered through reverse osmosis — removing impurities, chemicals, and contaminants to achieve the purest possible foundation.
Whole cloves are cold-steeped at low temperature — preserving the full spectrum of bioactive eugenol and antioxidant compounds without heat degradation.
Every batch is third-party tested for purity and eugenol levels. Only batches that pass are sealed and shipped to you in recyclable packaging.
