Comparing Types of Hydrogen Water Machines

What is Hydrogen Water?

The very best, healthiest water you can drink is hydrogen water. Hydrogen water has extra H2 gas (hydrogen) dissolved into it. It tastes just like regular water but is much healthier because of the antioxidant benefits of the added hydrogen. Regular water doesn't have antioxidant benefits and does nothing to fight free radicals. But hydrogen water, with its antioxidant benefits, fights free radicals better than any other antioxidant. It transforms regular water into healing water!

Hundreds of research studies show that drinking a few glasses of hydrogen water daily can reverse or eradicate a wide range of diseases caused by free radical damage.

Scientists have known the antioxidants in hydrogen water as "molecular hydrogen." Hydrogen water is made by pumping molecular hydrogen into regular water.

Buying ready-made hydrogen water is useless because the beneficial hydrogen antioxidants are so small that they evaporate out of the water fairly quickly (within a few hours or a day). So, the way to get the benefits of hydrogen water is to make it yourself (preferably fresh) throughout the day.

How Can You Make Your Own Hydrogen Water?

It's simpler than you might think. You'll need a hydrogen water machine or water ionizer to produce hydrogen water. These devices are the key to unlocking its health benefits.

Water Ionizer: Hydrogen gets pumped into the water when you ionize it with a water ionizer or filter it with ionizing minerals.
Hydrogen Water Machine: Pump hydrogen directly into the water with a hydrogen water machine.

How to Get the Best Hydrogen Levels

Free hydrogen is measured in ppm (parts per million). You're doing great if you get anywhere between .5 ppm and 1 ppm. [Note: This is the level most commonly used in medical trials.] I am personally happy getting anything over 1 ppm (part per million) of free hydrogen in my ionized water.

The preferred instrument for measuring hydrogen in water is the Trustlex meter. This device is highly accurate and comes with all the necessary calculations built in, making it easy to use.

While drops available for purchase can also measure hydrogen levels, they are not as precise as the Trustlex meter.

Which is Better? Breathing Hydrogen Gas or Drinking Hydrogen Water

Studies show that drinking hydrogen water can have health benefits that last days longer than breathing the gas directly. Still, both methods of consuming hydrogen antioxidants are valid and scientifically proven to benefit health.

Drinking Hydrogen Enriched Water

Considering what happens when you drink water, you can get a good idea of all the organs that will immediately (or very quickly) benefit. Water goes into your stomach and then passes out rapidly because it has zero calories. Some water absorbs directly from your mouth and stomach, but most water absorbs into your body from your intestines, which happens extremely quickly. In just minutes after drinking ionized water, I can feel greater mental clarity (similar to a caffeine boost) and an overall feeling of improved wellness, which means it has probably traveled around most organs in that short time.

Breathing Hydrogen Gas

You can use a hydrogen gas machine to breathe hydrogen gas and make hydrogen water. Just put the hose into a water container for several minutes, and you're done. Then, drink the hydrogen-enriched water. The only thing about this is that I am very spoiled by the filtration I get with my water ionizer.

I did an experiment where I just drank hydrogen-enriched water, which I produced this way for about 2 weeks, but please note I used filtered water as my source water. The overall effect was good. I felt perfectly healthy as if I was drinking ionized water all that time.

The only drawback to this is it's more time-consuming and complicated than pouring ionized water from a water ionizer.

All types of machines described above are great ways to get the benefits of hydrogen into the body. It's up to you which machine would best suit your needs.

I personally prefer hydrogen water over hydrogen inhalation.

COMPARING TYPES OF HYDROGEN MACHINES

Here are some typical results I have gotten from various machines. [Note: None of these meters or tests work well in inexpert hands because accurate results require much knowledge and practice.]

Smart 9P Water Ionizer Continuous-Flow Water Ionizer

(1.5 liters/min. @ Level 3) This is one of my best water ionizers for making hydrogen water.

Benefits: Multiple uses. Four levels of alkaline pH and four levels of acidic pH. Plus, an option to skip ionization and only filter the water. The filter removes chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals, and other contaminants.

Smart Water Ionizer - Hydrogen Levels

With Test Drops: 1.5 ppm
With Trustlex Meter: 1.5 ppm
ORP: -800

Buder HS72 Hydrogen Machine Hydrogen Water Machine

(Makes hydrogen water in batches of 1.8 liters. Average processing time: 20 minutes.

How it differs from a water ionizer:

Doesn't split the water or alter the pH
Doesn't filter the water.
Just pump the hydrogen into the water.

Buder HS72 - Hydrogen Levels

With Test Drops: 1.3 ppm
With Trustlex Meter: 1.3 ppm
ORP: -800

High-Rich Machine Portable Hydrogen Machine

(8 oz -- processed for 5 Minutes)

Doesn't raise the pH
Filters out chlorine and nitrogen

High-Rich - Hydrogen Levels

With Test Drops: 1.2 ppm
With Trustlex Meter: 1.35 ppm
ORP: -700

Hydrogen Gas Machine (pumps h2 into tap water)

A hydrogen gas generator pumps pure hydrogen gas molecules into water (or any liquid). These molecules dissolve in the water in just a few minutes.

Doesn't raise the pH
It doesn't filter; it just pumps the pure hydrogen gas into water, so use water that's already filtered.

Hydrogen Gas Machine - Hydrogen Levels

With Test Drops: 1.0 ppm
With Trustlex Meter: 1.35 ppm
ORP: -800

Elita Naturally Ionizing Filter

(Up to 2 quarts at a time at 1.5 liters per minute flow-rate)

Raises pH one level.
Filters out fluoride, heavy metals, biological contaminants, and other common contaminants

Elita - Hydrogen Levels

With Test Drops: 0.3 ppm
With Trustlex Meter: 1 ppm
ORP: -550

Comparing Types of Hydrogen Machines: Video Demos

Here are some demo videos showing you the comparisons of different types of hydrogen machines: hydrogen gas machine, hydrogen water machines, water ionizer, etc.

Results (listed from high to low saturation of free-hydrogen antioxidants): Nexus Smart water ionizer (1.5 ppm), the SPE-270 hydrogen gas machines (1.5 ppm), the Buder hydrogen water machines (1.2 ppm), the High-Rich Machine (1.2 ppm), H2 Tablets (.7 ppm), the Alkaline Ionizer Purifier Energizer (.3 ppm) and the Alkaline Plus PH Ionizing Pitcher (about .1 ppm).

Beware LifeIonizers -- Fake Claims

The best result for free-hydrogen concentration in hydrogen water is around 1.6 ppm. If you went into a hyperbaric chamber or pressurized your container somehow, you could get better than that. But at sea level (normal atmospheric pressure), you can't squeeze more than 1.6 ppm of hydrogen gas concentration into any solution or container.

I recently saw a new video from LifeIonizers, which claims to produce 5 ppm of free-hydrogen concentration. If you know how to do hydrogen concentration testing and look closely at their video, they fill up their vial with five times the amount of water they should. By doing the math on this, one can extrapolate that the MXL-15 water ionizer is getting 5x less than the results they claim or about 1 ppm. 1 ppm is not bad, but considering the price they charge for their machine, you can do much better, as seen in the chart above.

Here's a picture of the LifeIonizers fake test:
