FAQ

  1. Is hydrogen water the same as ionized water?
    No, they are not the same. Hydrogen water refers to water into which molecular hydrogen (H2) has been dissolved. On the other hand, ionized water refers to water that has been processed through an electrolysis process, which increases its pH level.

  2. Is hydrogen water a gimmick?
    There are hundreds of studies on the National Library of Medicine's PubMed database that investigate the effects of molecular hydrogen, including hydrogen water, on various health outcomes. While many of these studies suggest potential benefits of hydrogen water, such as antioxidant effects and anti-inflammatory properties, it's important to note that many of these studies are preliminary or small-scale.

  3. What is the pH of hydrogen water?
    The pH of hydrogen water can vary depending on the method used to dissolve the hydrogen, but it is typically neutral (around pH 7) because hydrogen gas does not alter the pH of water.

  4. How do you make hydrogen water?
    Hydrogen water can be made using a hydrogen water machine or generator, which uses electrolysis to dissolve hydrogen gas into water. Some methods involve ready-to-drink pouches or dissolvable tablets that are added to water.

  5. What is hydrogen water?
    Hydrogen water is simply water into which hydrogen gas (H2) has been dissolved.

  6. Where can you buy hydrogen water?
    Hydrogen water can be bought online through various e-commerce platforms or in some health food stores. Various brands sell hydrogen water in cans, pouches, or in the form of tablets that can be dissolved in regular water.

  7. Is hydrogen water alkaline?
    No. The addition of hydrogen gas does not change the pH of the water. However, some processes like Kangen used to make hydrogen water may also make the water alkaline.

  8. Where to get hydrogen water?
    You can purchase hydrogen water online or in certain health food stores.

  9. Is hydrogen water good for you?
    The potential health benefits of hydrogen water are still being studied, and while some research suggests potential benefits, more comprehensive studies are needed. It's important to maintain a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, and not rely solely on health products such as hydrogen water.

  10. Is Kangen water hydrogen water?
    Kangen water is alkaline water produced by the Enagic® water ionizer systems. While it does have a higher concentration of dissolved hydrogen than regular tap water due to the electrolysis process, it is typically referred to as ionized or alkaline water rather than hydrogen water.

  11. Is hydrogen water good for plants?
    There is not much research on the effect of hydrogen water on plant health, and any benefits or detriments are largely unknown.

  12. Is hydrogen water just water?
    Yes, it is water into which hydrogen gas (H2) has been dissolved.

  13. Are hydrogen water bottles safe?
    Hydrogen water bottles are generally considered safe to use under proper guidelines. However, it's crucial to purchase from a reputable brand and follow the product instructions to ensure safety.

  14. Is hydrogen water bad for you?
    There is no evidence to suggest that hydrogen water is harmful to health.

  15. Can hydrogen water cause bloating?
    There is no evidence to suggest that hydrogen water can cause bloating. However, everybody reacts differently to different substances, so if you notice bloating after consuming hydrogen water, it might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider.

  16. Can you boil hydrogen water?
    You can technically boil hydrogen water, but doing so would likely cause the dissolved hydrogen to escape, negating any potential benefits from the extra hydrogen.

  17. Can you buy hydrogen water?
    Yes, you can buy hydrogen water. It's available online and in some health food stores.

  18. Can hydrogen water make you sick?

    There is no scientific evidence to suggest that consuming hydrogen water would make you sick. Hydrogen is natural to our body as it's already made in the gut. However, as with any substance, different individuals may react differently. Always check with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns about new products or dietary changes.

  19. What makes hydrogen water unique compared to all other antioxidants?
    Size and Bioavailability: Molecular hydrogen (H2) is the smallest and lightest molecule in existence. This tiny size allows it to:

    Penetrate cell membranes with ease, reaching areas other antioxidants might struggle with.
    Cross the blood-brain barrier, potentially offering antioxidant protection to the brain.
    Selective Targeting: Unlike many traditional antioxidants that neutralize a broad range of free radicals, hydrogen appears to selectively target the most harmful types, like the hydroxyl radical. This precision could mean less disruption to beneficial reactive oxygen species needed for normal cellular function.

    Gentle and Natural:

    H2 is a molecule our bodies naturally produce. Consuming it in hydrogen water doesn't overload the system like some supplemental antioxidants could.
    After neutralizing free radicals, hydrogen simply converts into water, leaving no byproducts.
