If you frequent social media platforms such as TikTok and search “hydrogen water,” you will be overwhelmed with a plethora of videos, health promises, and information. This topic has literally gone viral, and a lot of people, including celebrities and popular podcast hosts, are talking about it. Among some of the conversations is a debate; some say it’s revolutionary, and some say it’s a hoax. Both sides present persuading arguments, and it’s easy to feel confused about the topic.
At All-In Nutritionals, one of the things we pride ourselves on is staying current with the times or, in many instances, even staying ahead of the times. It became apparent that we needed to step into the hydrogen water arena. We knew our loyal and highly health-conscious customers would be asking us about hydrogen water at some point, and we were right. It’s been one of the most widely asked topics we have received questions about in recent months.
Some of the questions we’ve been receiving…
- What is hydrogen water?
- Should I drink hydrogen water?
- How often should I drink hydrogen water?
- Is hydrogen water better than alkaline water?
- Do hydrogen tablets work?
- What are the health benefits of hydrogen water?
- Is there anything I need to be aware of when purchasing hydrogen water products?
You’ve asked, and now we are answering. 😊
What exactly is Hydrogen Water?
Simply put, hydrogen water is water that has been infused with molecular hydrogen. This is also known as H2 gas, and it is completely natural. Adding hydrogen to water is believed to increase its health benefits due to its potential antioxidant properties. In addition, hydrogen molecules are extremely small, which makes them more easily absorbed into the body’s cells and tissues.
Revolutionary or Hoax?
After several years of extensive research, testing, and personal usage, we feel confident in stating our expert opinion regarding this topic. We believe hydrogen water is revolutionary and is not a hoax, but like with anything else, the benefits must be measured against the quality and efficacy of the product. Not all hydrogen water bottles and products are created equally. If you’d like a good read, Google the article PubMed recently published regarding this exact issue. The article is titled “Super Healthy or Hoax.” You will find some great info here!
We are not “Overnight Nutritionists” …
Here's one of the main problems as we see it. Many hydrogen bottle products on the market, including social media platforms (we won’t name names), are from very new health and wellness companies that have just started in the last 6-12 months. These companies are often led by what we like to call “overnight nutritionists,” who claim to be experts but have picked up most of their education through borrowed knowledge, social media, and YouTube videos.
As many of you know, our founder and formulator, Lindsey Duncan, is quite the opposite. He has spent his entire career in the supplement, nutrition, and wellness industries for over 38 years, and All-In Nutritionals is his fifth supplement company. He’s won countless awards worldwide and treated hundreds of thousands of people as a Certified Nutritionist and Doctor of Naturopathy.
On top of his experience, you could say Lindsey is a little obsessed with water… actually, he is a lot obsessed. He has researched the topic of water for over twenty years. He understands and believes it is fundamental to good health and vibrant aging. He believes in the power of water so much that he completed a 23-day water-only fast in January of 2023! If anyone knows water, it’s Lindsey.
Because of this, he truly understands the innovative science behind hydrogen water. In a recent video, he explained, “While the science of hydrogen water is progressive, the process is quite simple. This is an electron process where the water is split into hydrogen and water gases. Hydrogen acts as an antioxidant by neutralizing harmful free radicals in our bodies. Free radicals cause oxidative stress which is linked to premature aging and a whole host of health issues. Molecular hydrogen is believed to target the most harmful free radicals selectively and therefore reduces oxidative stress.” This is a very, very good thing.
So, you just have to ask yourself, who do you want to trust with the science of your drinking water? We think we know the answer. 😊
Things to be aware of… harmful byproducts
Due to a lack of experience and understanding, many companies are producing products that may be doing more harm than good. Some products have been reported to produce chlorine as a byproduct of processing. This is obviously NOT what you want when purchasing a hydrogen water generator!
In addition, many of them are extremely expensive (up to $400!) and don’t even work correctly with low-quality parts. This is simply not okay.
On the contrary, our Hydro Bottle + has undergone hundreds of tests with an ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) meter. This type of meter measures water’s reducing potential or oxidizing level as well as possible contaminants. Each time we test, we yield exceptional ORP levels, which demonstrate a high level of hydrogen in the water. We encourage customers to do their own basic ORP test at home to see for themselves.
Should I drink hydrogen water?
We believe you should! Thanks to our new Hydro Bottle +, all of us at All-In Nutritionals drink hydrogen water several times a day now. When infusing your water with hydrogen, very small hydrogen molecules are produced, making it much easier for the body’s cells and tissues to absorb it. Significant research and clinical studies state that it acts as an antioxidant, which means it’s great for anti-aging and overall health and wellness!
How often should I drink hydrogen water?
Lindsey recommends drinking hydrogen water up to three times per day. Our Hydro Bottle + can hold 14-16 ounces of hydrogen water. He also recommends drinking your hydrogen water within 30 minutes of making it because the concentration decreases with time.
What’s the difference between hydrogen tablets, drops, aluminum cans, and a hydrogen generator?
A generator uses a process called “electrolysis” to generate molecular hydrogen by splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. While tablets can be effective, their hydration concentration may be lower than that of a quality generator like ours. When using a high-quality generator, your hydrogen is fresh and clean and literally made right on the spot! We also prefer a bottle over a tablet since a bottle is reusable. You only need to purchase one, and you can simply use, wash, and repeat. Hydrogen water tablets range anywhere from $19.99 to $49.00 and must be repurchased for continued usage. We have our Hydro Bottle + priced at $43.96. In addition, a canned, tablet, or concentrated drop form of hydrogen is not as readily available. Depending on the environment, it loses its potency and benefits once left for about 30 minutes. We wanted our customers to have the freshest, purest form of hydrogen possible, and this is precisely why we chose the generator form… because the hydrogen is not getting created until you push the button! It’s hard to say how long other forms of this product, like a tablet, have sat on the shelf. The potency and concentration of hydrogen decreases with time. Our Hydro Bottle + is made of high-quality, borosilicate glass and platinum nano-grade titanium materials and features an easy-to-use start/stop button.
Is hydrogen water better than alkaline water?
Both types of water are highly beneficial to your health, and each carries its own unique benefits.
As we have explained, hydrogen water is infused with hydrogen molecules, which act as antioxidants and are believed to selectively target free radicals and lower oxidative stress.
Alkaline water has a higher pH level than regular drinking water (pH above 7). It is believed to neutralize acid in the body, which produces numerous health benefits.
For optimal health, one should incorporate both types of water into their daily/weekly consumption if possible.
In closing, we believe that we have created a Hydrogen Bottle that is affordable, versatile, easy to use, highly efficient, and effective. We love that our customers can make their own healthy hydrogen water in the convenience of their own home or office with the single press of a button. We think you will love it! If you purchase a Hydrogen Bottle +, we’d love to hear your thoughts! You can purchase your Hydro Bottle + and leave a review here.
