The ABCs of Hydrogen Water
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.
