F.A.Q
How can we help?
Hydrogen infused water is a new beverage category that infuses hydrogen gas into beverages that often also go by the
names of hydrogen enriched beverages or hydrogen rich beverages. Hydrogen gas is dissolved into these beverages, and,
much like carbonated beverages that are infused with carbon dioxide gas (Co2), this hydrogen gas will be delivered into the
body when consumed properly or inadvertently released into the atmosphere if not properly consumed.
Hydrogen water is being used by high-performance athletes across the full spectrum of sports, including Olympic gold
medalists and other professional athletes, and now hydrogen water is available to everyone.
We recommend drinking at least 1.5L per day. Athletes are recommended to drink an additional serving before
highperformance activities to prevent fatigue from the accumulation of lactic acid
You can drink hydrogen water at your leisure as you would any other beverage. Molecular hydrogen gas is absorbed by
the body where it circulates and flows freely into the cells. Any extra hydrogen gas is passively released into the air when we
exhale.
Water is a very important part of our daily lives, and the two hydrogen atoms in water give it many of its unique properties
via hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen atoms are critical components in water as well as many other organic molecules such as
carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and DNA
Molecular Hydrogen (H2) is a molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms bonded to each other. This molecule does not
commonly occur in nature. Most of the time, hydrogen atoms bond to other atoms. For example, two hydrogen atoms are
bonded to a single oxygen atom to form a water molecule.

H20 is the chemical symbol for how scientists write the molecular structure of water. The letters and numbers in H2O
indicate a single molecule of water contains one oxygen atom that is chemically bonded (physically attached) with two
hydrogen atoms. The unique combination of these three atoms give water its unique properties that are vital to the
functions and structures of the human body.
Even though oxygen atoms are available to our bodies in the form of water (H2O), we still require our lungs to breath
molecular oxygen gas (O2) from the earth's atmosphere. Similarly, our bodies obtain unique health benefits from the
consumption of molecular hydrogen gas (H2).
Unlike oxygen gas (O2) that is rich in our atmosphere and thus often found dissolved at relatively high concentrations in
natural sources of water, hydrogen gas (H2) is rare in the earth’s atmosphere and thus we don’t consume much molecular
hydrogen from the air we breath or the water we drink. Natural sources of water generally do not contain the
concentrations of molecular hydrogen that scientific studies have shown are effective in providing the health benefits
associated with the gaseous nutrient
Water has the chemical formula H2O, and hydrogen peroxide has the chemical formula H202, which by comparison
contains an extra oxygen, not hydrogen. So it does not, indeed it cannot, form hydrogen peroxide. The fact is, hydrogen
gas does not bind to or react with the water molecules, and it just dissolves into the water. It does not create some novel
molecule like H40, which would in fact be chemically impossible to form. Therefore, hydrogen water and hydrogen peroxide are completely different substances.
Molecular hydrogen is a molecule, which is a group of two or more atoms that are held together by a chemical bond(s).
Molecular hydrogen is the smallest and lightest molecule in our universe because it is composed of only hydrogen atoms.
As the first element in the periodic table, hydrogen is the smallest of all the atoms. Molecular hydrogen is composed of only
two hydrogen atoms. This exclusive combination of two hydrogen atoms turns molecular hydrogen in to a gas. Molecular
hydrogen is also commonly called hydrogen gas or represented by the written symbol H2.
Health benefits include :
- Boosts Endurance
- Reduces Lactic Acid
- Reduces Fatigue
- Provides Antioxidants
We recommend drinking hydrogen water within 60 minutes of dispensing to receive its maximum benefits.
Hydrogen water is not a carbonated or sparkling beverage.
The terms carbonated or sparkling denote that a beverage has a significant concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2)
such as a carbonated soda or sparkling water. Hydrogen water is infused with molecular hydrogen gas, an elemental gas
that is the smallest and lightest molecule in our universe. When dissolved into a beverage, molecular hydrogen gas is
present as nano-bubbles that are too small to be seen by the human eye or felt as we drink, so the water is tasteless and
refreshing, while being suitable for drinking during athletic activities.
Our customers often describe hydrogen water as crisp, clean, and refreshing. Hydrogen water is as pure tasting as its
ingredients of purified water infused with a stock source of ultra-purified molecular hydrogen gas.
The earliest account of hydrogen gas having medicinal properties was in 1798, for things like inflammation. But, it didn’t
become a popular topic among scientists until 2007, when an article about the benefits of hydrogen was published in the
prestigious journal of Nature Medicine by Dr. Ohta’s group.
If the water is rich in positive hydrogen ions (H+), then yes it IS acidic. But in this case, we're talking about neutral
hydrogen gas (H2), which is two hydrogen atoms tied together.
It can be confusing to hear “hydrogen water” because we usually think of hydrogen (meaning the hydrogen ion, H+) as
acidic, and that is basically the definition of pH. The p stands for potential or power, meaning a mathematical exponent
(in this case a logarithmic function), and the H stands for the hydrogen ion, which is just a proton and no electron. So pH
literally means the logarithmic concentration of the hydrogen ion.But when we say “hydrogen water” we are referring to
di-hydrogen or molecular hydrogen, which is a neutral gas that is dissolved in the water.
It is true that hydrogen is not very water soluble as it is a neutral, non-polar molecule with a solubility of 1.6 mg/L (or
1600ppb), which is relatively low. But when we consider that molecular hydrogen is the lightest molecule in the universe,
we really need to compare the number of molecules as opposed to the number of grams. For example, if a single molecule
weighed 2 mg (which is impossible, but used as an example), then having just one of those molecules in a liter of water
would give you 2 mg/L, but there would only be one molecule. For reference, vitamin C (176.2 g/mole) weighs 88 times
more than hydrogen gas (2 g/mole). Therefore, hydrogen water at a concentration of 1.6 mg/L would have more
“antioxidant” molecules than 100 mg of vitamin C, as there are more total molecules in 1.6 mg of hydrogen compared 100 mg of vitamin C. That is, 0.8 mmoles of H2 vs. about 0.6 mmoles of vitamin C.
Yes. Hydrogen gas has been shown to be very safe at concentrations hundreds of times higher than what is being
used for therapy. A good example of its safety is that hydrogen gas has been used in deep sea diving since 1943 (at very
high concentrations) to prevent decompression sickness. Studies have shown no toxic effects from hydrogen when at
very high levels and pressures of 98.87% H2 and 1.26% O2 at 19.1 atm.
Furthermore, hydrogen gas is natural to the body because after a fiber-rich meal, our gut bacteria can produce liters of
hydrogen on a daily basis (which is yet another benefit from eating fruits and vegetables).
In short, hydrogen gas is very natural to our bodies, not like a foreign or alien substance that can only be synthesized in a chemistry lab
Yes, it does immediately start coming out of the water, but it doesn’t just vanish immediately. Depending on the surface
area, agitation, etc., the hydrogen gas can stay in the water for a few hours or longer before it drops below a therapeutic
level. This is much like carbonated water or soda that contains carbon dioxide gas (CO2), but because it does leave, it is
best to drink the water promptly before it goes “flat”.
Yes, it is VERY explosive. Hydrogen is the most energy-dense molecule by mass. But, when the gas is dissolved in water
it is not explosive at all, just like if you mixed gunpowder in water it wouldn't be explosive either. Even when it is in the air,
it is only flammable above a 4.6% concentration by volume, which is not a concern when talking about hydrogen-rich water.
If you heat the water without boiling it, it will keep its hydrogen and electric charge. Our units are all calibrated to
maintain hot water just below its boiling point to ensure no hydrogen is lost.
In normal water, two hydrogen atoms are bound to Oxygen (H20) making it difficult for our bodies to enjoy the benefits
of Hydrogen. In hydrogen rich water, molecular hydrogen gas (H2) is dissolved into water creating free, active hydrogen
atoms that are accessible to our bodies. Molecular Hydrogen, small and soluble, has the potential to quickly circulate into
many locations of our body, including the hard to reach powerhouses of our cells.
Everything contains hydrogen. It is the most abundant element in the universe. However hydrogen is usually bound to
other atoms and molecules and therefore not available purely as H2.
Just as we don't get oxygen from H20, we don't get H2 from water. This is because H2 and O2 in H20 are not available
because they are chemically bound to the water molecule. When used therapeutically hydrogen is dissolved into water in its
molecular form, H2.
Because hydrogen is a very powerful antioxidant that helps to neutralise free radicals and reduce oxidative stress, which
is a cause of most of illnesses and premature ageing. As well as hydrogen, which is the smallest element in the universe, it
penetrates parts of the body where other antioxidants cannot reach, such as the neurons and the cell nuclei.
It has a more atomised, lighter taste, so it does have a subtly different flavour.
Just as carbonated drinks start to gas off as soon as the lid is removed, H2 will start to escape immediately. Similarly,
it takes time for all of the dissolved H2 to escape from water. For best results, hydrogen-rich water should be consumed
as fresh as possible, or stored in an air tight glass or metal container (aluminum or stainless steel) that is filled to the brim.
No. Even if you drink hydrogen water, vitamins and antioxidant minerals in food are necessary, because they have other
vital functions, apart from the antioxidants themselves.
There are many potential ways that hydrogen rich water may enhance your health and well-being.
It has been documented through hundreds of studies that molecular hydrogen may have the potential to improve athletic
performance and recovery, energy levels, jet lag, hangovers, anti-aging, allergies, skin irritation, inflammation many chronic
diseases such cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular, neurological, pulmonary diseases. Hydrogen water has been proven as an
effective antioxidant therapy.
Increased energy levels, improved general well-being, better hydration, digestion and quality of sleep, may be noticed
immediately. more long-term improvements may be noticed after a few weeks or even months if oxidative stress, which is
the cause of most illnesses and premature ageing, is reduced.
No. hydrogen water has zero calories.
The body refuses to convert energy into food when our oxidation levels are high, because burning fat causes even more
oxidation. The antioxidant charge of hydrogen water helps us to lower the level of oxidation, enabling the metabolism to
transform fat into energy. However, the body never loses fat deposits unless we burn more calories than we consume.
The answer is no. The problem occurs when there is a lack of negative charge. When there is too much, the electrons are
discharged through the skin. The problem is that we discharge too much, causing oxidation.
No. However long you infuse hydrogen into water, it is impossible to overload it with hydrogen. Once it becomes
saturated, any excess just evaporates. What's more, however much hydrogen saturated water you drink, you'll never reach
the recommended maximum.
Yes. It eliminates free radicals from the skin. Hydrogen water can be applied with a cloth or directly to the skin and left to
work for a few minutes.
Yes. The only effect of hydrogen-rich water is to help to maintain a suitable oxidation level for good health. It has no
contraindications.
The recommended daily water intake is between two and three liters. more than one glass a day will be highly beneficial
for regulating your oxidation level.
It takes around 20 minutes for hydrogen to reach cells in all parts of your body.
-In hospitals and clinics in Japan, depending on the patient's condition, hydrogen inhalation is performed for about 1 hour,
1~3 times a day.
- For athletes, pre/post-exercise, once each, 60~90 minutes per session
- 60 minutes prior to sleep for severe insomnia
- for normal health, once or twice a day (morning and night) 30~60 minutes per session
- For patients during chemotherapy, brain diseases like Parkinson's, or autoimmune diseases, 4~6 hours (during sleep)
(the more the better, and less side effects).
Usually 0.001g of hydrogen is present in 1¢ (half of a large water bottle) of hydrogen water. This is barely a trace of
hydrogen, and the size is similar to a peck of dust. Scientifically, in room temperature/pressure, maximum amount of
hydrogen that can dissolve in 1 liter of water is 1.6mg (0.0016g). However, using 30 minutes of H-1200, a hydrogen
generator for inhalation purpose, is equivalent of drinking 18,000 bottles of 2-liter hydrogen water bottles. If you use
hydrogen for treatment or health purposes, hydrogen inhalation is the key
It reverts overly produced active oxygen in the body, and acts as an anti-oxidant in cell signaling system within
molecular cells. Especially during chemotherapy, it acts as a strong anti-oxidant and manages chemotherapy side-effects,
Parkinson's brain diseases, pneumonia, and maintains immunity.
“From the study of terminal cancer patients by Dr. Junji Akagi, medical treatment center in Tama, Japan”
Ina study of “hydrogen and oxygen gas mixture inhalation on chronic fatigue and fatigue from high intensity exercise”,
it has proven that inhalation mitigates fatigue until one day after the inhalation. (Yamanshi University, Japan, General
research center, from Dr. Koyama Katsuhiro’s study).
through hydrogen inhalation, parasympathetic nerve, which takes care of sleep, is activated and the effect is optimal at
the first 30 minutes.
“study on the acute effect of hydrogen inhalation on the human body” (Yamanashi University, Japan, General research
center, part of Dr. Koyama Katsuhiro’s study).
there is a device in the market that separates oxygen from hydrogen so that only pure hydrogen gets inhaled. This
results in a low hydrogen generation rate, and it can also lead to hypoxia if large amount of 99.9% pure hydrogen gas.
The machine that allows simultaneous inhalation of hydrogen and oxygen includes 66.66% hydrogen and 33.33% oxygen
so that there is not harmful effect on the body when inhaled in large amounts. In Japan’s medical facilities, the second
method (simultaneous inhalation of oxygen and hydrogen) is used for a safe hydrogen inhalation treatment.
