Founder of Cluster Solutions urges the scientific community and the public to reexamine how water's structure affects human health and wellness

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA / ACCESS Newswire / March 5, 2026 / Lee Lorenzen, Founder and CEO of Cluster Solutions, is calling for renewed attention to the role structured water can play in health, cellular function, and scientific progress. With over 30 years of research, multiple U.S. patents, and international recognition for his work in clustered water technology, Lorenzen is urging the public and scientific leaders to "look deeper into what water really does inside the body."

Why Structured Water Deserves a Closer Look

While most people see water as simple and interchangeable, Lorenzen says the science tells a different story.

"We treat water like it's a static resource," said Lorenzen. "But inside living organisms, water doesn't behave the way it does in a glass. Its structure shifts, clusters form, and that changes everything from absorption to communication between cells."

Lorenzen began his research after his wife Stephanie became seriously ill in the 1980s. That crisis launched a decades-long effort to understand how changes in water structure might support human health. "It wasn't just theory," he said. "We needed real results. That's what drove me."

His work led to the development of clustered water technology-now protected under U.S. Patents 5,711,950 and 6,033,678-and inspired the founding of Cluster Solutions in 1989.

Backed by Decades of Independent Research

Lorenzen's background includes graduate studies in biology and pharmacology, teaching biology at Chapman College, and working as a research associate at UC Irvine. But his most impactful work has come from independent research, supported by outcomes, user feedback, and continuous lab testing.

In 2011, the Microsoft Alumni Foundation honored Lorenzen for his contributions to research involving AIDS and diabetes.

Still, Lorenzen says mainstream science hasn't caught up. "We have strong anecdotal and early lab evidence. But we need more eyes on this. More peer-reviewed studies. More funding for water research beyond filtration and access."

Water Structure and Human Biology: A Growing Field

While structured or "clustered" water is still a developing field, a growing number of scientists are investigating the role of water clusters in energy transfer, intracellular signaling, and enzyme activation.

According to a 2020 report in Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, cellular water may play a more active role in biology than previously thought. Lorenzen believes more collaboration between researchers could unlock important breakthroughs.

"If we don't ask new questions, we stay stuck with old answers," he said. "And people who might benefit from better hydration science pay the price."

The Public Can Play a Role

Lorenzen is encouraging not just scientists but everyday people to get curious about the science of water.

"Start with asking better questions," he advises. "How much do you know about the water in your body-not just the water you drink? When people see how it all connects, they start thinking differently."

He recommends individuals:

  • Read emerging research on intracellular water

  • Ask healthcare providers about hydration beyond volume intake

  • Support institutions funding applied water research

  • Stay skeptical-but open-to new scientific models

"This isn't about buying a product," Lorenzen emphasized. "It's about understanding something you're 60% made of."

Call for Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration

Beyond public awareness, Lorenzen is calling on universities, research labs, and biotech companies to collaborate on applied water research.

"We need biology, chemistry, physics, and even materials science at the same table," he said. "The answers are in the overlaps."

He points to how misunderstanding water's role in metabolic disorders, aging, and cellular stress may be blocking progress in other fields. "Structured water could be the missing variable," he said. "But we won't know unless we invest in the work."
