Hydrogen Water 101: Your Guide to Health and Wellness

Powered by Vitalyk

Why is hydrogen water sparking curiosity among some but flying under the radar for others? If you're into all things water or fascinated by biohacking, chances are you've stumbled upon hydrogen water. But if this is new territory for you, welcome aboard – this is the perfect starting point!

What Makes Hydrogen Water Special?

So, what's the deal with hydrogen water? Essentially, it's water infused with molecular hydrogen – that's hydrogen gas dissolved in water. And get this – hydrogen gas has earned itself the title of "molecule of the century" for its potential as an alternative fuel source, packing three times more energy density than gasoline. Now that's pretty cool!

Hydrogen as an Antioxidant:

Let's rewind a bit to the 1940s – hydrogen gas has been quietly used in various applications, but it wasn't until around 2007 that the spotlight turned its way. A study published in the Journal of Nature Medicine highlighted hydrogen's therapeutic potential as an antioxidant.

It turns out, hydrogen can act as a selective scavenger, targeting those pesky free radicals that wreak havoc in our bodies. These free radicals, with their unpaired electrons, are linked to a host of health issues, from aging to chronic conditions such as (to list a few):

• Cancer
• Alzheimer's disease
• Parkinson's disease
• Diabetes.
• Cardiovascular conditions such as high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and stroke
• Inflammatory disorders
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Asthma
  
  

What Sets Hydrogen Apart:

You might be wondering, what makes hydrogen stand out from other antioxidants? Here's the lowdown:

• Selectivity: Hydrogen gas has an incredible knack for targeting the most harmful free radicals, like the hydroxyl radical, while leaving the beneficial ones untouched. This is crucial because not all free radicals are bad – some actually play vital roles in our immune system and other bodily functions.
  
  
• Bioavailability: Size matters in the world of bioavailability, and hydrogen gas is the smallest molecule in the universe – even smaller than oxygen. This tiny size allows it to effortlessly penetrate subcellular compartments and even pass through the blood-brain barrier, reaching where it's needed most.
  
  
• No Toxic Byproducts: Unlike some antioxidants that can turn into troublemakers after donating electrons, hydrogen gas converts harmful radicals into water. Yep, you read that right – molecular hydrogen (H2) plus oxygen equals water. No toxic leftovers, just a clean, neutral byproduct.
  
  

Health Benefits of Hydrogen Water:

• Antioxidant Properties
• Anti-Inflammatory Effects
• Improved Energy Levels
• Better Athletic Performance
• Skin Health: Brain Health
• Digestive Health
• Metabolic Support
• Heart Health
• Reduced Muscle Fatigue and Soreness

With its selectivity, high bioavailability, lack of toxic byproducts, and a safety profile that's been tested for decades, hydrogen water might just be the super water your body's been craving.

 

How do you get Hydrogen into your water:

Hydrogen rich water refers to molecular hydrogen, H2. It's infused back into your water via PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) and SPE (Solid Polymer Electrolyte) technology. Having both is crucial, because through the process of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen atoms through these electrolysis process we want to make sure only H2 enters back into your water bottle. 

Without the PEM chlorine, oxygen and ozone reenters the water and because cloudy and toxic.

Quick Checklist: Features to Look for in Your Hydrogen Bottle:

✅ PEM & SPE Technology
✅ Off Gas Port
✅ Minimum 1.8 ppm Capability at 12oz
✅ Minimum 2.0 ppm Capability at 8oz
✅ Preferably a Solid Button over a touchscreen
✅ Self-Cleaning Mode

 

Our Recommendation:

Looking to get your hands on hydrogen water? We recommend opting for products that claim to produce at lease 1.8ppm hydrogen for optimal benefits.
