WHAT IS HYDROGEN
WATER?

The concept of utilizing molecular hydrogen water is so innovative that the main- stream is just now catching on. This influx of interest presents the challenge of “where to start” in unpacking all of the research and benefits associated with hydrogen water

Many people wonder exactly

“What is hydrogen water?”
“What are the benefits of hydrogen water?”

Further confusing many, the exact wording on what hydrogen water is called often changes from research group to research group, or company to company. Common ways to refer to hydrogen water include hydrogen-rich water (HRW), hydrogen-infused water, molecular hydrogen water, and sometimes even hydrogenated water; although, in the case of hydrogenated water, the term is not accurate as the water has not been “hydrogenated”. Additionally, many groups talk about “hydrogen therapy” or “hydrogen-rich therapy”, which includes both hydrogen water as well as other ways to administer hydrogen gas, such as hydrogen inhalation.

The conscientious want to see reputable scientific research, and the inquisitive few who’ve done their research want to know how our hydrogen water technology stacks up against other methods of delivering hydrogen water.

We designed this “Discover Hydrogen Water” page with all of these questions in mind. Below is a comprehensive guide to help you understand hydrogen water, its benefits, the findings from clinical research, and also the research specifically being done utilizing our hydrogen water tablet technology.

No other commercial entity has compiled more data on hydrogen water supported by clinical research. We invite you to explore our updated list of human clinical research, which is among the most comprehensive in the world.

Comparing Hydrogen Water Technology

With so many different products and technologies on the market that offer a dizzying variance of claims, it can be quite confusing for consumers. We break down the pros and cons of the different hydrogen water technologies currently available for consumers.

Our open cup hydrogen water tablet delivery compares to others :
  • Swallowed Tablets or Powders
  • “Sealed container” infusions
  • Hydrogen water Powders and Sticks
  • Hydrogen water producing machines
  • Hydrogen inhalation machines
We also explore the differences in Hydrogen ionizers like:
  • Countertop
  • Constant flow
  • Handheld/Portable
  • “Natural stone” ionizers
  • Hydrogen inhalation machines

Read how these systems compare to Hydrogen Machines, designed to be either batch or constant flow hydrogen water systems. We also discuss the burgeoning market of Ready to Drink Hydrogen Water in pouches and cans. And lastly, we unpack how all these hydro- gen water delivery methods compare to the inhalation of molecular hydrogen gas.

History of Hydrogen Water

For most, the concept of hydrogen water is brand new, and as such, they’d expect only a brief history. In reality, the “water” in hydrogen water is simply the delivery method for the hydrogen gas. For a proper history, we need to dive into hydrogen therapy; and as we dive into hydrogen therapy, the history leads us back to the beginning of our planet, even the universe. So let’s take a walk back in history; through reverse. “If God did create the world by a word, the word would have been hydrogen.” Harold Shapley, Head of the Harvard College Observatory (1921-1952)

Brief History of Water Ionizers

Water ionizers were first invented in the early 1900s, with Japanese research on electrolyzed water first taking place in 1931. The devices gained popularity in the 1950s, as they began to gain followers claiming they had “healing effects.” In 1962, two separate companies applied to have their ionizer machines classified as medical devices. However, according to information available at the , Molecular Hydrogen Institute, this designation had more to do with the need to add calcium lactate to a solution in order to produce the alkaline water, due to insufficient mineral content in the source water the manufacturers desired at the time. For more on why these machines would need to add extra minerals before electrolysis, see our article “Comparing Hydrogen Water and Gas Technologies.” For more on the false and pseudoscientific claims perpetuated largely by the water ionizer industry, see our article debunking the claims.

Before We Knew Hydrogen Gas Was Therapeutic

The accidental use of the combination magnesium and hydrogen therapy dates back decades before the water ionizer industry accidentally stumbled across hydrogen water (without knowing it until circa 2010). This accidental utilization came in the way of magnesium implants that reacted within the tissue, delivering hydrogen gas and magnesium ions — the same concept as how our hydrogen tablets work in water. The first case report utilizing metallic magnesium implants dates back to 1878, and the use of magnesium metal (by way of alloys) in medical implants is still a field of research today! In fact, one review states that “nearly all patients” benefit from the use of hydrogen-producing magnesium implants.

Before We Existed

As our CEO details through the published hypothesis paper “Evolution, Adaptive Stressors and Molecular Hydrogen,” hydrogen gas, and even hydrogen water, have evolutionary origins. In short (and for a more detailed explanation, please read the linked paper), the “hydrogen hypothesis” posits that our mitochondria evolved from a hydrogen-dependent organism. Further, molecular hydrogen played a critical role in the evolution of our atmosphere, and through this atmosphere, life on our planet. Even the ancient waters tested, deep underground, in modern times have detectable hydrogen gas. The oldest waters ever discovered, over a billion years old, could be termed as “hydrogen water.”

Hydrogen and Skepticism

A Message from Our CEO There’s a dichotomy regarding hydrogen water and skepticism: Those who first hear about it, either health experts or the general population, automatically default to abnormally high levels of skepticism. Because of this, it’s a common trend among those promoting hydrogen water products to default to the belief that the science is being “unfairly attacked.” With 1500+ publications showing a benefit in 170 models across every organ in the mammalian body, including about 100 publications on humans and prominent Phase III clinical trials underway, how could anyone in their right mind ridicule it as pseudoscience and not see it as a promising area of research with potential, and at this point with likely significant benefits?

There are over 1500 publications on molecular hydrogen as a therapeutic agent, including 85 published human trials demonstrating a potential benefit in 170 different models across every organ, since the seminal publication in Nature Medicine, perhaps the most prestigious scientific journal.

Hydrogen dissolved or delivered via water, or “hydrogen water,” is the “go-to” route, with this systematic review of 321 publications citing it works at 100~ times less volume than H2 gas inhalation.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4610055/

Hydrogen rich water is regular water that has been saturated with molecular hydrogen, or hydrogen gas (H2). Water, or H2O, is a chemical compound consisting of 2 hydrogen atoms (H) bonded with an oxygen atom (O). Hydrogen-rich water is a solution of H2 (molecular hydrogen) gas, that is simply dissolved in to H2O (water). Think of ‘carbonating’ water, used in sparkling waters and soda pops, but instead of using CO2 (carbon dioxide) gas, using H2 (molecular hydrogen) gas.

Our hydrogen tablets deliver the highest concentration on the market, are clinically validated and the
only legally marketed hydrogen water supplement* in the USA.
*other products may be legally marketed as foods or medical devices, although many are not. Other
open cup tablets sold to various companies as private labels of our technology are also legally marketed.

No. The levels of magnesium in the Rejuvenation tablet are too low to be flammable, as is the level of hydrogen in the water created. Hydrogen has to exceed 4% of the atmospheric pressure to be explosive.
