Hydrogen Water: How much Molecular Hydrogen is enough?Hydrogen Water: How much Molecular Hydrogen is enough?

June 23, 2021| Lucille Webb| 0 Comment| 12:00 am

lex Tarnava is the CEO of Drink HRW, and the primary inventor of the open-cup hydrogen tablets we offer here. He runs the clinical outreach program for his company, works with over a dozen universities coordinating research. Alex has also published research of his own. Alex consented to us sharing his knowledge here. (Two part article:

1. On this page: Molecular hydrogen Concentration Importance

2. Linked: Molecular hydrogen testing: how it’s done and problems that may arise.)

Hydrogen (H2) is a fascinating molecule. It has not only played an integral role in the evolution of all life, but of the planet, and the universe, as well. We`ve known how important molecular hydrogen has been for life as we know it for a very long time, but it is only recently we have discovered how critical it is for our health. H2 plays a key role in the metabolism of cells throughout our bodies, from the heart to the liver to our calf muscles.

AlkaWay’s Molecular Hydrogen generating tablets

Hydrogen can increase energy, slow down the aging process, and improve muscle recovery after a workout. We can think of hydrogen as a sort of “supervisor” in our cells that makes sure everything is running smoothly. As any good supervisor, hydrogen`s role is the most important when challenges arise, such as external stress. Hydrogen dissolved in water is the most effective route for promoting health benefits. This is why hydrogen water is growing in popularity.

The big asterisk? Hydrogen works in a dose and concentration manner, with lower doses typically being completely ineffective. It`s no surprise that companies are coming out of the blue and claiming that their product delivers “therapeutic hydrogen” with associated benefits. Unfortunately, these companies put out carelessly packaged products and do not accurately state the hydrogen concentration. Usually, the concentrations they deliver are far lower than what the research suggests is therapeutic… Companies engaging in fraudulent marketing surrounding hydrogen water claims led the Japanese consumer affairs department to put out a statement that 17 of 19 tested hydrogen water products on the Japanese market contained either no dissolved hydrogen or were below the minimum therapeutic threshold.

“Therapeutic’’ Molecular Hydrogen?

As hydrogen water popularity is spreading, more and more companies are cropping up claiming to deliver “therapeutic hydrogen,” with associated benefits. Most of these companies have not supported any research, and the dosage as well as concentration provided is often below or hovering around the minimum observed therapeutic threshold. Many of these products do not accurately, or even at all, state the hydrogen concentration and dosage consumers will ingest. Some of these products contain or deliver no hydrogen gas due to packaging or processes that break down quickly.

Misleading Results

Also concerning is that many proponents of technologies that deliver low concentrations of dissolved hydrogen will accurately, but misleadingly, claim the majority of research has been done using technologies producing around 1 ppm and as low as 0.5 ppm hydrogen water.

The Thirsty Mouse Problem

What is misleading in this assertion is that the majority of research has been conducted in mice. Hydrogen therapy alters cell signalling when cellular concentrations of hydrogen are sufficiently raised in intermittent exposures.

Mice tend to consume over 10x more water as that given to humans in the majority of the clinical trials. We can come to this rough estimation by considering a 25 g mouse will consume roughly 4 mL of water p/day.

The average person in North America weighs just over 80 kg. Therefore, the average person is 3200x the size of a mouse.

However, the recommended water consumption for the average person is only 3.2L per day (2.7L for women, 3.7L for men). The mouse equivalent when correcting for weight would be 12.8 L, meaning mice drink 4x as much as humans.

When considering that human trials have not used ad libitum dosing of hydrogen water, meaning as much as desired, but a set amount- typically between 500 mL and 1 L, the numbers skew even more dramatically.

A mouse receiving the same concentration of H2 as a human ad libitum will receive roughly 12.8x the therapeutic dosage as a human instructed to drink 1 L p/day. A further potential variable is that it typically takes larger dosages of molecules to work in mice than in humans, with a standard conversion being roughly 12x more needed in mice. That said, since molecular hydrogen does not seem to work in the same pharmacological sense as most molecules, with cellular concentrations likely being key, this conversion may be irrelevant or inaccurate.

Further research is needed to address this issue. By ignoring this and converting to a 1:1 ratio, the dosages are skewed much higher towards what mice have received than humans.

Let’s Look at Some Examples: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Molecular Hydrogen

In this study on a mouse model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), 0.8 ppm was effective where 0.3 ppm was not. This study was done after an initial study using electrolyzed alkaline water with a high pH, -495 ORP, and a concentration of 0.2ppm was found to be ineffective. Many marketers would have you believe that 0.8 ppm of hydrogen water will be effective for humans in this model, but no current evidence supports this assertion. For instance, the mouse model would suggest that a human drinking 1 L of water p/day, as is typically studied in hydrogen water clinical research, would gain no therapeutic benefit at 3.84 mg of H2; or 3.84 ppm hydrogen water at a liter consumption. The observed benefits were only observed at comparative dosages of 10.24 mg of hydrogen dissolved in water for a human.

In the pilot study on NAFLD using our tablets, a strong benefit was observed in a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled crossover design study. The dosage? While the water was tested at 6 mg/L with a 1L dosage, the methods to conduct gas chromatography are quite prone to losses, particularly with quasi-dissolved nano-bubbles.

Our own data suggests the tablets were around 10 ppm, or a 10 mg dosage, and recent gas chromatography reports we have had conducted by a third party are much closer to this number.

With this data in mind, if we are to extrapolate from the animal research, virtually no other technology is able to deliver even the levels we know to not be effective in mice in 1 L (3.84 mg when adjusted for humans), and only our technology is capable of delivering the comparative concentration found to be effective.

Furthermore, most technologies cannot even reach this “shown not to be effective” threshold when dosed at 3.2 L/day, a 1.2 ppm dose of hydrogen water for all daily water consumption. This has not stopped many company reps from pushing technologies, often below even 0.5 ppm, claiming the benefits of this study on NAFLD.

Mild Cognitive Impairment, Alzheimer’s and Molecular Hydrogen

Early animal research on rodent Alzheimer’s models have used a hydrogen-rich saline, which has at this time, less well-established dosing protocols in hydrogen research, and no known comparative summaries of dosages required to reach similar increases in cellular hydrogen compared to inhalation or consumption of hydrogen water.

One publication simultaneously studied the effects in mice with those in humans, although quite frustratingly, the concentrations and dosages administered were dramatically different; with the mice potentially receiving a far higher concentration of hydrogen dissolved in the water.

The human group saw modest results, in only those with an APOE4 allele. They were given 500 mL of water with 1.2 ppm dissolved to consume a day, and an average consumption estimated at just 300 mL p/participant.

Going out on a leap and assuming that the 300 mL was consumed immediately before hydrogen dissipation lowered dissolved levels, the average participant consumed just 0.36 mg of hydrogen p/day. This is below the 0.5 mg with a max volume of 1 L p/day that the International Hydrogen Standards Association has declared the minimum observed therapeutic dose.

The mice, who experienced significant improvement in cognitive function and memory, decreased oxidative stress in the brain, DNA damage, recovery from neurodegeneration, and a significant increase in mean lifespan (but not maximal), began drinking hydrogen water at either 1month old, continuing until 18months old, or starting at a later stage of 8 months and continuing to 18 months, to simulate a mid-age protocol.

The comparative dosage?

The article suggests the mice were consuming super-saturated hydrogen water prepared at 0.4 mpa or 58 psi! If allowed to reach an equilibrium this would translate to roughly 6 ppm hydrogen water, given ad libitum, or a comparative dosage of 76.8 mg of H2 compared to 0.36 mg: A difference of 213x.

Upon a closer look at another study using the same methods, the reported gas concentrations were at a minimum 1.2 ppm upwards of 1.6 ppm. With infrequent replacement of hydrogen water just twice a day (methods not specified), the scaled dosage with half-life would still be around 2.52 — 3.36 mg in comparative conversion, or over 6.75 — 9x the comparative dosage the human participants received.

Water or Gas?

Due to the “stronger” results from a human study using inhalation on Alzheimer’s, many peddlers of inhalation units declare gas to be more effective for neurodegenerative models than water consumption.

Ignoring that the model in question has confounding variables, namely 1) A more advanced disease state and 2) Lithium carbonate was also administered alongside hydrogen, which in itself may have potential benefits in protection against Alzheimer’s (although the body of evidence does not support this yet, with mixed results).

The data clearly demonstrates that lithium on its own had no effect, while hydrogen inhalation on its own did. However, hydrogen has shown to potentially be capable of lowering other drug dosages in the past. Further, there was no washout period, and the study was more in line with observational case series. Further complicating the matter was that the relative dosage was much higher with a smaller sample population (n=11 compared to n=73).

The inhalation study cites a concentration of 3% hydrogen gas for two one-hour sessions p/day, while not specifying a flow rate, but referencing another study using the same device. This study, likewise, does not specify a flow rate, but does state that it is delivered through a non-re-breathing facemask.

The average adult breathes in 5-8 L p/minute at rest, so at 6.5 L p/minute, 3% hydrogen for 120 minutes p/day, participants were inhaling a total of 23.4 L of hydrogen gas. Reducing by a factor of 100* to consider impact between method, that is the equivalent of 234 mL of hydrogen dissolved in water a day, or 16.47 mg of H2 in a direct comparison to water- a comparative dose of 45.74x more than what was used in the mild cognitive impairment study. *the only published comparison shows that H2 when dissolved in water has similar and perhaps even more prominent effect than inhaled gas, at 1/100th the dose. This conversion is limited by a lack of data and a dearth of direct comparative studies and analysis. The exact conversion is likely different for different targets with comparative doses being affected by concentrations.

The Takeaway on Hydrogen Water

We still need a lot more research to know if hydrogen works for the models discussed above (and many others) and what dose is effective. Direct comparisons between animal and human studies need to account for relative dosing, as do comparisons between various administration methods.

For consumers not willing to wait until better trends emerge, the data so far suggests that higher dosages and concentrations come with greater benefits. When assessing animal models, conversions need to be considered. When considering claims from manufacturers and salesmen of inhalation units, conversions to effectiveness need to be considered. To learn how we test for molecular hydrogen in water, why we do it the way we do it, and how to spot the vendors who don’t know how to test, go to this article from Alex.

In basketball, you cannot succeed as an individual player without relying on your teammates. You learn to trust and communicate with each other, understanding that everyone has a role to play in achieving success. This value extends beyond the basketball court and into everyday life, teaching us how to collaborate effectively with others towards a common goal.

Another valuable lesson that youth basketball instills is sportsmanship. As we compete against other teams, we learn to respect our opponents and accept both victory and defeat gracefully. Good sportsmanship teaches us humility in victory and resilience in defeat. It reminds us that it’s not just about winning or losing, but also about how we conduct ourselves throughout the game. We learn to celebrate our successes while showing empathy towards those who may not have had such luck.

Youth basketball provides a platform for character development by incorporating these values into every practice and game. Through teamwork and sportsmanship, players develop important life skills such as communication, cooperation, respect, empathy, perseverance, and resilience – all of which are essential for success both on and off the court.

So next time you step onto the hardwood floor for a youth basketball game or practice session, remember that it’s not just about playing a sport but also about building character through shared experiences with your teammates.

Handling Success and Failure in Youth Basketball

When it comes to handling success and failure in youth basketball, there are several key points to consider. First, learning from wins and losses is crucial for personal growth and improvement as a player. It allows us to identify our strengths and weaknesses, analyze our performance, and make necessary adjustments. Second, developing resilience and adaptability is essential in navigating the highs and lows of the game. It teaches us how to bounce back from setbacks, stay focused under pressure, and embrace challenges with a positive mindset. Lastly, cultivating a growth mindset is vital for continuous progress. It enables us to see failures as opportunities for learning and development, rather than as obstacles or signs of inadequacy.

Learning from Wins and Losses

To truly grow and develop as a person, you must embrace the valuable lessons that come from both victories and defeats in youth basketball. Winning is undoubtedly a thrilling experience that boosts confidence and validates hard work. However, it is through losses that we often learn the most important lessons about ourselves and our teammates. It is during these moments of disappointment that we have the opportunity to reflect on our mistakes, identify areas for improvement, and develop resilience. Learning from mistakes is a crucial aspect of character development in youth basketball.

Mistakes are not failures: In youth basketball, it’s essential to understand that making mistakes does not equate to failure. Instead, they offer an opportunity for growth and learning. By embracing our errors, we can evaluate what went wrong and adjust our approach accordingly. This mindset fosters resilience and helps us become better players on the court while carrying over valuable life lessons outside of basketball.
Sportsmanship and fair play: Wins or losses should be taken with grace and humility. Good sportsmanship teaches us how to respect opponents, appreciate their skills, and accept outcomes without bitterness or resentment. Whether we win or lose a game, showing respect towards both teammates and competitors builds character traits like empathy, integrity, and self-control.

Wins provide validation for hard work while losses present opportunities for growth in youth basketball. By approaching victories with humility and defeats with resilience, young athletes can learn from their mistakes while developing important character traits such as sportsmanship and fair play. Embracing both successes and failures allows individuals to grow not only as players but also as well-rounded individuals who value teamwork, perseverance, respect for others’ abilities, all of which contribute to personal development on the court and beyond.

Developing Resilience and Adaptability

Developing resilience and adaptability is crucial for young athletes to thrive in the face of adversity and overcome challenges. In the world of youth basketball, setbacks are inevitable. Whether it’s a loss in a game or struggling to master a new skill, these experiences can be tough for young players to handle. However, by developing perseverance and building mental toughness, they can learn how to bounce back from failures and continue to grow.

Perseverance is the ability to keep going even when faced with obstacles or setbacks. It teaches young athletes that success doesn’t come easy and that hard work and dedication are necessary for improvement. By instilling this value in them, coaches and parents can help them develop a mindset of resilience. They will understand that failure is not an endpoint but rather an opportunity for growth and learning. This mindset allows them to view challenges as stepping stones towards success rather than roadblocks.

In addition to perseverance, building mental toughness is also essential for young athletes. Mental toughness refers to the ability to stay focused, motivated, and confident even in difficult situations. It helps players adapt quickly to changes on the court and make effective decisions under pressure. By developing this trait, young athletes become better equipped at handling stressors both on and off the court.

Overall, developing resilience and adaptability is vital for young athletes’ character development in youth basketball. By teaching them how to persevere through challenges and build mental toughness, coaches and parents help shape their mindset towards growth and success. These skills not only benefit them on the court but also translate into other areas of their lives, preparing them for future adversities they may encounter along their journey.

Cultivating a Growth Mindset

Cultivating a growth mindset is like planting a seed of potential in young athletes, nourishing it with perseverance and mental toughness to help it grow into a flourishing tree of success. When youth basketball players develop a growth mindset, they are better equipped to overcome obstacles and foster perseverance. Here are three ways that cultivating a growth mindset can positively impact young athletes:

Embracing challenges: With a growth mindset, young athletes see challenges as opportunities for growth rather than as threats to their abilities. They understand that setbacks and failures are part of the learning process, and they approach them with resilience and determination. This mindset allows them to push through difficult times and continue striving for improvement.
Believing in effort: A growth mindset emphasizes the importance of effort and hard work in achieving success. Young athletes with this mindset understand that their abilities can be developed through dedication and practice. They embrace the idea that their skills are not fixed but can be improved over time with consistent effort. This belief encourages them to put in the necessary work to reach their full potential.
Seeking feedback: Developing a growth mindset also involves seeking feedback from coaches, teammates, and mentors. Rather than seeing criticism as an attack on their abilities, young athletes with a growth mindset view it as an opportunity for learning and improvement. They actively seek out constructive feedback and use it to make adjustments in their game or approach.

By fostering perseverance and overcoming obstacles, cultivating a growth mindset in youth basketball players sets them up for long-term success both on and off the court. It helps them develop resilience in the face of challenges and instills a belief in their ability to improve through effort and continuous learning.
