Hydrogen Water is water (H₂O) infused with molecular hydrogen (H₂). Over a decade since the publication of study results reporting that molecular hydrogen has been shown to have potential benefits in preventive and therapeutic applications, dozens more studies have been conducted and published to verify and elaborate on these results.
Hydrogen water is not alkaline water, a type of water better known in the United States. Alkaline water, which has above-neutral pH (a measure of the basicity/acidity of water), or pH of greater than 7.0, has almost no concentration of molecular hydrogen. Hydrogen water, in contrast, has neutral pH but is rich in molecular hydrogen, with concentrations of 1.0 ppm (parts per million) or more. 1 ppm is roughly equivalent to 1 mg/L of water (1 milligram per liter).
Yes. At a pressure of one atm (atmospheric pressure at sea level) molecular hydrogen can be dissolved in water up to a saturation point of about 1.62 mg/L. Gaura hydrogen water products generate concentrations ranging from 0.5 mg/L to 1.1 mg/L.
The amount of dissolved molecular hydrogen in tap water is less than one eight-millionth of a mg of H₂/L — far below the 0.5 mg/L or more that has shown to have certain therapeutic effects.
It generally takes several hours for the hydrogen in Gaura hydrogen water to dissipate. This process will be sped up by shaking, heating, or exposing the hydrogen water to ultraviolet light. The process will slow down if the hydrogen water is stored in metal-lined containers.
Yes. Hydrogen, the smallest of all elements, can be absorbed by cells throughout the body.
One leading hypothesis as to why molecular hydrogen is beneficial concerns the manner in which it reacts with various “reactive” oxygen species. Studies theorize that molecular hydrogen neutralizes harmful hydroxyl radicals (•OH, or the neutral form of the hydroxide ion OH–) within cells. These changes occur at the genetic/DNA level.
The term “rust” is often used to describe a situation where excess reactive oxygen species exist in the body, more than our cells are actually equipped to handle naturally. Various factors can increase reactive oxygen species in the body, including excessive sun exposure, smoking, and stress. This phenomenon is called oxidative stress and is similar to the oxidation that creates rust in metals.
Based on various studies, the top three benefits that people have reported from drinking water high in dissolved molecular hydrogen are: Relief from feelings of constipation, Improved skin condition, Faster recovery from fatigue. Studies support the belief that hydrogen has three primary benefits. Other reported benefits include improved metabolism, better sleep, reduced effects of hangovers, weight loss, and reduced bloating.
People have reported noticing improvements in as short as a few days to several weeks. On average, most people have reported noticing positive changes within a month.
Yes, there is. Many studies have reported benefits of hydrogen in studies of living cell and animal experiments. Several medical institutions are conducting human clinical trials, with promising benefits being reported in areas such as: Cardiopulmonary arrest resuscitation, Interstitial cystitis, Cerebral ischemia, Inflammatory and mitochondrial myopathies, Periodontal disease, Metabolic syndrome, Reducing side effects from radiation treatment, Improving skin damage caused by ultraviolet rays, wrinkles, and skin brightness
Studies suggest that drinking 200 ml or more hydrogen water daily is recommended to realize its benefits.
It is more effective to drink hydrogen water at a particular time of day every day. If you drink once a day, drink it in the morning or at night. If twice a day, drink it morning and night. If three times per day, drink it morning, noon, and evening. If you drink 200–300 ml, drink it once a day. If you drink 500 ml or more in a day, divide up your consumption throughout the day.
In a cup, hydrogen water will retain its concentration for about an hour. You should drink it within a half-hour to an hour. With aluminum bottles, the concentration of hydrogen can last for several hours if sealed after every use.
While heating hydrogen water rapidly dissipates the hydrogen concentration of the water, you can use hydrogen water to wash vegetables, rinse rice, and wash surfaces.
We offer hydrogen-related products: Hydrogen Water Bottle, Hydrogen Water System (Refer to our catalogue p.06) - Counter Top type: SKGA, AQ-1200 H2-PT - Under Sink type: H2-68 ,Hydrogen Water Heating Machine H2-Pot, H2 Inhaler H2-HA300, H2 Inhaler H2-HA100, Hydrogen-rich water filter
In the long term, frequent users of hydrogen water should consider one of our hydrogen water dispensers and generators. Triwin hydrogen water generator bottle is good for 1–2 people. For 3 or more people, choose one of our quality dispensers – the SKGA, AQ-1200, H2-PT, H2-68.
Hydrogen water packed in aluminum bottles sold in supermarkets and pharmacies are difficult to handle and expensive in the long term. Shaking the containers, opening and closing them continually, and exposing them to excess heat can result in the hydrogen content dissipating very quickly. Our dispensers and generators are more effective because they generate hydrogen water on demand, not in advance to be shipped. Triwin uses BPA-free material – it’s your safe choice!
Yes, we do! We offer H2 Bubble hydrogen bath powder and a hydrogen mister.
1. Small Clusters Smaller molecular clusters improve water motility, helping dissolve and flush out waste faster. This is key because waste buildup causes aging and disease. Alkaline ionized water has small clusters, promoting quick waste elimination. 2. Active Minerals Minerals, found in food and water, support bodily balance. Activated minerals in alkaline water are absorbed better by the body, aiding overall health. 3. Good Restoration Alkaline ionized water helps control harmful bacteria and boosts beneficial gut bacteria, supporting digestive health and disease prevention. 4. Eliminates Active Oxygen Active oxygen is unstable and causes oxidation, which contributes to aging and illness. Alkaline water helps neutralize this harmful oxygen. 5. Hexagonal Water Hexagonal water clusters of 6 molecules are most stable and natural to the body. Healthy cells have more hexagonal water, while diseased cells have less. This water type supports cellular health and can be enhanced by mineral content and magnetic treatment.
If your RO product water is pure, your aquarium should have minimal algae growth, a steady PH level, and low phosphate and nitrate levels. You can check the purity of your RO product water using a conductivity meter, TDS meter, or by measuring the general hardness and alkalinity of the water with a test kit. Purified water will have a general hardness of 0 GH and alkalinity of 0 dKH. If your test values vary from those described above, you may need to replace cartridges and/or the RO membrane.
Reverse osmosis and deionization (DI) perform the same task of removing impurities from tap water. However, DI purifies water utilizing the principle of ion exchange to remove impurities and replaces them with pure water. In most instances, an RO unit serves as a well-rounded filtration method that removes the majority of impurities; coupled with a post deionization filter, the resulting water is 99.9% pure. Many RO units are available as a combined RO/DI unit or are able to accommodate an add-on DI unit that simply attaches to your existing RO unit.
Tap water often contains impurities that can cause problems when added to an aquarium. These include phosphate, nitrate, chlorine, and various heavy metals. High levels of phosphate and nitrate fuel aggressive algae growth, and copper, often present in tap water due to leaching from pipes, is highly toxic to invertebrates. Because RO filters remove practically all of these impurities, they are becoming more popular among aquarists, particularly marine hobbyists.
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purification process in which water is forced through a semi-permeable membrane that removes 90-99% of tap water impurities. The result is water that is free of minerals and other contaminants. Membrane type determines the amount of dissolved solids a unit is capable of removing. For example, Cellulose Tri-Acetate (CTA) membranes have a removal rate of 88-94%, Thin Film Composite (TFC) membranes remove between 94-98% of dissolved solids, and Hi-S Membranes have higher removal rates, between 97.5-99%, and are especially adept at removing silicates.
The purpose of UV light is for bacterial disinfection. However, on a Water Ionizer this is completely unnecessary for several reasons. If you have city (municipal) water then your water has already been disinfected through the use of chlorine. The carbon filter on the Water Ionizer will remove the chlorine. The UV light itself loses much of its effectiveness after the first six months of use and should be replaced often, which is of course an expensive proposition. Also, the glass tube that the water travels through in order that it can be exposed to the UV light develops a film on it after only a few months, which greatly lessens the effectiveness of the UV light on the water which passes through the tube.
1) Acidity and alkalinity PH= the unit that indicates the density of acid and alkaline in water. Water becomes acidic with increased oxalic acid, and alkaline with increased hydrogen ions. The measuring unit of acidity and alkalinity is indicated by PH values, e.g., PH 7 is considered neutral. Each numerical increment indicates 10 times more hydrogen ions or oxalic acid. For example, an increase of 1 in a PH table means 10 times more alkalinity. A decrease of 1 means 10 times more acidity. 2) Maintaining PH balance The human body tends to maintain body fluid at PH7.3 according to the homeostasis function. The body tries to maintain the balance of each organ with alkaline body fluid of PH8.8 from the pancreases as the peak. However, consistent acidic constitution will result in lowering one\'s self-protection function in the body. Even though there is no visible sign of disease, alkaline water drinking will support the body with homeostasis functions. Alkaline water drinking also prevents geriatric disease because it defends the body against acidification of the physical constitution.
Reverse osmosis (RO) systems remove most of the impurities (heavy metals, minerals, nitrates, phosphates, and so on) in tap water, giving you pure, healthy water for your aquarium. If your RO product water is pure, your aquarium should have minimal algae growth, a steady PH level, and low phosphate and nitrate levels. If these conditions change, check your RO product water purity using one of the following methods: Use a conductivity meter (TDS meter), which will accurately measure the amount of impurities in the RO product water. Whereas regular tap water will have a reading in the range of 300-500, purified water should be in the range of 5-25. Measure the general hardness, alkalinity, and pH of the water with a test kit. Purified water will have a general hardness of 0 GH, alkalinity of 0 dKH, and a PH of 7.0. If your test values vary from those described above, you may need to replace the membrane. The lifespan of the RO membrane depends upon the quality of your source water. Under most conditions, an RO membrane will produce about 25,000 gallons of purified water and last 2-3 years. However, high concentrations of certain minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium will shorten the lifespan of the membrane.
