Frequently Asked Questions
At the time of writing, there is no research to suggest that you can ingest too much molecular hydrogen.
Fun facts:
Since the 1940s, deep divers have used almost pure H2 gas in their diving tubes. They have inhaled incredible amounts of molecular hydrogen and no ill effects have been detected.
The claim that "1 bottle of hydrogen water contains the same antioxidant amount as 600 apples" is not correct and can be seen as a marketing gimmick rather than a fact-based truth.
To understand why this claim is misleading, we need to dive a little deeper into how antioxidants and ORAC values work, as well as what molecular hydrogen actually is.
ORAC values:
ORAC, which stands for "Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity", is a method that was previously used to measure the antioxidant capacity of foods and other substances. However, this method is considered by many, including the United States Department of Agriculture, to be insufficient to accurately measure antioxidant capacity. This is because many bioactive compounds and biomolecules in food have therapeutic and protective effects that are not necessarily linked to their ability to absorb free radicals.
The unique role of molecular hydrogen:
Molecular hydrogen (H2) does not work like traditional antioxidants. Instead of directly neutralizing a large amount of free radicals, H2 helps regulate the body's own antioxidant systems. This means that H2 can stimulate the body's production of endogenous antioxidants and thus provide more effective protection against oxidative stress. This mechanism is completely different from the traditional view of antioxidants that neutralize free radicals directly.
Conclusion:
Comparing hydrogen water to a large amount of fruit based on their antioxidant values through ORAC is misleading. It does not highlight the unique way in which H2 works in the body. In fact, the claim of the 600 apples comparison not only demonstrates a lack of understanding of the true functions of molecular hydrogen, but also risks diminishing other significant health benefits that hydrogen water can offer. For a more genuine and scientifically based appreciation of hydrogen water's potential, it is important to focus on how it modulates antioxidant responses and contributes to biological benefits at the cellular level.
No, hydrogen water itself is not considered dangerous.
However, it is important to choose the right equipment to ensure that you ingest it safely.
Not all bottles are created equal - some cheap options may not meet safety standards and may actually be risky to use. (Can produce ozone gas and fluoride)
For your safety, invest in a hydrogen water bottle with a solid safety profile. A good rule of thumb is to choose bottles that use the DuPont 117 membrane, known for its high quality and safety. Nord Hydrogen is an example of a brand that uses this membrane, ensuring that you are not only getting clean and safe hydrogen water but also investing in a product that is built to last. So, stay away from the gimmicks and invest in something that truly protects your health and well-being.
No, they are not quite the same thing. Molecular hydrogen (H2) is a gas consisting of two hydrogen atoms. When this gas dissolves in water, it becomes hydrogen water. So, hydrogen water is water enriched with molecular hydrogen. Both have therapeutic effects, however.
How often you should drink hydrogen water can depend on your personal health goals and needs. There is no "one-size-fits-all" recommendation, but many experts and existing studies suggest that consuming hydrogen water regularly throughout the day can have positive health effects.
To effectively integrate hydrogen water into your daily routine, consider the following guidelines:
Start the Day: Start with a glass of hydrogen water in the morning to wake up the body and kick-start your hydration.
Before and After Exercise: Drink hydrogen water before and after exercise to promote recovery and reduce fatigue and muscle damage.
Between Meals: A glass of hydrogen water between meals can keep you hydrated and may even promote a feeling of fullness, which can be helpful for weight management.
Before Sleeping: A glass of hydrogen water shortly before going to bed can help reduce oxidative stress during the night.
Again, it's important to listen to your body and adjust your intake based on how you feel. Some people may notice benefits from just a couple of glasses a day, while others prefer to drink more. If in doubt, start slowly and increase your intake gradually to see how your body reacts.
Aim to drink it within about 15 to 30 minutes of it being produced.
This time window helps ensure that you get as much of the dissolved hydrogen gas as possible, before it starts to disappear into the air.
If you drink the water directly, you can be sure that you are getting an optimal amount of the beneficial molecular hydrogen molecules.
No, the bottle is only available in food graded Makrolon plastic.
Makrolon is widely known for its chemical resistance and is widely used in food contact and medical applications due to its safety profile.
The use of Makrolon plastic in Nord Hydrogen bottle is critical to its ability to withstand the high pressure created inside the bottle when filled with molecular hydrogen. A glass bottle would not be able to handle such pressure without the risk of cracking or breaking into a thousand pieces.
This structural limitation with glass makes it unsuitable for this type of use.
Additionally, hydrogen bottles that use glass tend to produce very low amounts of molecular hydrogen, meaning they are not therapeutically effective.
The use of Makrolon plastic ensures not only the safety and durability of the bottle, but also its ability to effectively deliver therapeutic amounts of molecular hydrogen.
When it comes to producing hydrogen gas, the Nord Hydrogen really has an edge over the competition. The secret? Well, it's about how it handles the pressure created when hydrogen is produced. And here comes the key: The Nord Hydrogen bottle is made of Makrolon. ????
Why is this so special then? Makrolon is not just any material. It is widely used out there in the world for things that need to be both safe and durable – think food contacts and medical equipment.
Its ability to withstand wear and tear is out of this world, meaning that Nord Hydrogen bottle can handle the enormous pressure that hydrogen production creates, without giving way.
So, thanks to Makrolon, the Nord Hydrogen Bottle can produce more hydrogen safely and efficiently compared to other bottles on the market. This is the key to why it delivers so much more of those health-boosting bubbles to your water.
1. Therapeutic Level of Molecular Hydrogen
The Nord Hydrogen Bottle delivers a therapeutic concentration of 5000 PPB after a 10-minute cycle.
Unlike many generic products found on many platforms, which often advertise inflated hydrogen levels without evidence, Nord Hydrogen’s performance has been independently verified. The bottle underwent rigorous testing by H2 Analytics, where its ability to consistently generate 5000 PPB was confirmed through extensive analysis.
2. Advanced Safety Profile
The bottle is constructed using high-grade materials selected for their safety, durability, and performance.
It incorporates a DuPont 117 SPE/PEM membrane, recognized for its efficiency in separating hydrogen and oxygen, ensuring the water remains free from harmful byproducts.
The electrodes are crafted from 99.9% pure titanium and coated with platinum, which promotes stable and efficient hydrogen generation over time.
Additionally, the bottle body is made from Makrolon®, a robust, impact-resistant material designed to withstand pressure and long-term use—minimizing the risk of leaks or structural failure.
Choosing cheaper alternatives may pose risks, including material degradation, contamination, and underperformance. In contrast, Nord Hydrogen’s design and materials are engineered for consistent, long-term reliability and safety.
