Hydrogen-rich water is ordinary drinking water with molecular hydrogen gas dissolved in it at a set concentration. Its color, taste and smell are unchanged, which means you cannot judge its quality by your senses alone.
How is it made?
The most common method is water electrolysis inside dedicated devices. Devices vary widely in the concentration and purity of the hydrogen they produce, which makes choosing the right one an important step, as we explain in our article on choosing a hydrogen generator.
How should it be stored?
Hydrogen is the lightest gas and escapes quickly from open or thin plastic containers. So:
- Drink it as soon as possible after preparation.
- Use sealed containers made for the purpose.
- Avoid leaving it exposed to air for long periods.

How it differs from alkaline water
Alkaline water is defined by its higher pH, while hydrogen water is defined by the concentration of dissolved hydrogen gas. Some devices overlap in both, but the two are not the same thing.
Frequently asked questions
How long does hydrogen stay in the water?
It depends on the container and temperature, but the concentration starts dropping shortly after preparation.
Can I boil hydrogen water?
Heating speeds up the escape of the gas, so it is better consumed cold or at room temperature.
Is it a substitute for medication?
No. It is a lifestyle option and does not replace any prescribed treatment.
