❓ What Is Hydrogen Water?
Hydrogen water is regular drinking water enriched with dissolved molecular hydrogen (H₂). This molecule is known for its antioxidant properties, helping the body reduce oxidative stress, decrease inflammation, and support cellular health.
❓ What Hydrogen Concentration Is Considered Effective?
According to the standards of the International Hydrogen Standards Association (IHSA) (website), water is classified as hydrogen water if the dissolved hydrogen concentration exceeds 0.5 mg/L (500 ppb or 0.5 ppm).
❓ How Much Hydrogen Is Needed for a Positive Effect?
Based on research data (as of 2021):
- The minimum effective daily dose is around 1 mg.
- Some experts recommend 3 mg per day for a more pronounced therapeutic effect.
Important:
✅ To date, no cases of hydrogen overdose from drinking hydrogen water have been reported.
✅ In the U.S., molecular hydrogen is officially recognized as safe for human consumption.
❓ Why Is It Difficult to Achieve High Hydrogen Concentrations in Water?
The main limitation is the low solubility of hydrogen in water. At room temperature (25 °C) and normal atmospheric pressure, the maximum achievable concentration is only 1.6 mg/L (1600 ppb). To increase the hydrogen content, special methods are used — applying higher pressure and utilizing microbubbles.
❓ How Much Hydrogen Is in One Liter?
- 1 mg/L → 1 mg of hydrogen per liter of water.
- 2 mg/L → 2 mg of hydrogen.
- 3 mg/L → 3 mg of hydrogen — a level corresponding to the therapeutic dose.
❓ What Devices Can Produce Hydrogen Water?
Most household hydrogen generators provide concentrations up to 1 mg/L. Premium models can reach 2 mg/L or higher, making them preferable for those seeking therapeutic benefits.
❓ Microbubbles: Why Are They Important?
In March 2023, a review was published in the scientific journal Antioxidants (article link) by American and Russian researchers:
“Using microbubbles allows for efficient delivery of molecular hydrogen, increasing its bioavailability and minimizing losses during transport within the body.”
This technology is widely used in modern high-concentration hydrogen water generators.
❓ How to Properly Consume Hydrogen Water?
- Drink the water immediately after preparation — molecular hydrogen quickly escapes from the water.
- Do not heat the water above room temperature or boil it.
- Distribute your intake evenly throughout the day to maintain stable hydrogen levels in the body. If you drink less than 2 liters per day, it is recommended to use generators with higher hydrogen concentrations or microbubble technology.
❓ Common Myths
🚫 Myth: It is possible to overdose on hydrogen water.
✅ Fact: Overdose is not possible. Even doses exceeding 3 mg per day only enhance the beneficial effects. However, individuals with certain health conditions may need to limit fluid intake — consulting a healthcare professional is advised.
🚫 Myth: Hydrogen water is a cure-all for diseases.
✅ Fact: Hydrogen water can serve as a supportive health measure but does not replace medical treatment or professional consultations.
