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

 
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.
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.

Affordable Web Design Elements For Your Site

Typeface

Elaborate typefaces work well for logos,memes and as design elements. They don’t work at all for reading. Visitors want to read the content on a website to find information.

That means the font should be easy to read,clear and crisp using any device from computer to smartphone. As a rule,three typefaces in three sizes are the maximum for a clean looking website. More than that detracts from the message.

Graphics

People love to look at photos,clipart,cartoons,memes,videos and infographics. Like the cliché says,a single picture is indeed worth a thousand words. A beautiful photo can express the purpose of a website quickly and invitingly.

The best graphics are high quality,with clear colors and an easy-to-grasp message. Buying stock photos is an excellent investment because it immediately upgrades the look of a website.

Color

The palette of colors you use on your website should appeal to the eye of your visitors. Aim for a sense of balance and harmony among all the disparate elements on the webpage.

Use bold colors sparingly. They are especially effective for pay and call-to-action buttons. The right application of color can help make your website look clean and uncluttered.

Clear Communication

The design of the site should convey its purpose in seconds to visitors. Is the intent to inform,entertain,shop,or a mix? Make each page fulfill a specific purpose that is simple for the visitor to understand.

Be sure to make navigation easy. Big category buttons at the top and sides,with drop-down menus,let them move around the site quickly.

Readable Content

White space is attractive to readers online. Too much dense type is intimidating. That means using headlines,subheads and bullet points within blog posts and articles.

Sentences should be short. The best paragraph is just three or four sentences.

The Takeaway

Website traffic moves in fractions of a second,so effective sites need to grab attention quickly. Your visitors determine whether or not your design is effective. That means the best website design is user-friendly,visually appealing and simple to grasp.

Find Affordable Website Design While Avoiding the Scams

Business are always on a budget,especially for marketing and promotional services. Many new businesses know that they need to advertise online and create a web presence,but this is not always the primary focus when starting a company. Small businesses and startups generally don’t have a lot of money to invest in their online presence and finding an affordable website designer can be a challenge. There are horror stories of businesses being scammed by unscrupulous online marketers,so business owners are understandably cautious. As you shop for an affordable web designer,take these tips into consideration to avoid the scammers.

No References

Does the website designer talk a good game but doesn’t seem to be able to follow through with proof? Any initial consultation should be free of charge. Beyond that,the designer should be able to provide examples of work completed and references that you can check. Testimonials are a great way to see if other clients have been satisfied with their work,but do some research on your own!

Clear Contract

One of the biggest complaints of people that are scammed by website design companies is that they are not given what was promised or that deadlines are not met. Be sure that everything is in writing,clearly defining what you are paying for,with delivery dates and the agreed pricing structure. It also helps to have everything you need ready so that you are prepared. Not sure what you need? Ask and most web firms will have a clear list of what they need for the project.

Lack of Control

If you don’t have ownership of your domain or are unable to login to your hosting account or website,this means that you are locked into the website designer for the life of the contract,potentially forever. Avoid this by making sure that you have this control from the beginning. Many business owners don’t want the job of creating or maintaining a website,which is fine,but you still need to know who owns what.

Comfort

Trust your instincts when it comes to hiring a designer. If a deal is too good to be true,it usually is. Do a good amount of research to find out what you want,what a fair price is,and what your expectations are. Once you have the comfort level that you have found an affordable website design company,move forward. The real tragedy is in not getting a presence online. Waiting for the perfect site or perfect designer can slow your business progress by not allowing customers to find you. A good relationship with your web developer will ensure that you can update your site at any time.

There are plenty of designers around the world that provide services at an affordable rate. The beauty of the internet is that this is a global economy and currency differences can make website design very accessible for you. Regardless of where you live,a professional website designer can work anywhere,and having clear communication through email,phone calls,skype and such can ensure your project goes smoothly and to your satisfaction.
