Dimensions and accessories
The bottle measures 70 × 70 × 210 mm. Its compact size makes it suitable for personal use and easy to carry in a backpack, for example on the way to work or to a sports activity. Its 380 ml capacity also means it will need refilling during longer periods away from home.
The package includes an inhalation device. However, the available product description does not explain the inhalation procedure or provide safety instructions, so follow the product manual when using it.
Two water-enrichment modes
After filling the bottle, a mode is activated by pressing the button once or twice. The options are:
- 3-minute mode: stated hydrogen concentration of up to 1,000 ppb.
- 10-minute mode: stated hydrogen concentration of 1,500–1,800 ppb.
Ppb means parts per billion and is used here to express the concentration of hydrogen in the water. According to the stated specifications, the longer mode produces water with a higher concentration, but takes more time. The concentration figure alone does not prove a health effect. The available description does not specify the conditions under which these values were achieved.
Battery and charging
The bottle has a 1,800 mAh rechargeable battery and charges via USB. It can therefore be charged away from home, for example from a computer or power bank. The available specifications do not state the number of cycles per charge or the charging time.
What do we know about health effects?
Molecular hydrogen is being studied in relation to oxidative stress. However, claims that it has a strong antioxidant effect in the body or benefits people with high blood pressure, muscle fatigue or insomnia, or supports the immune system, cannot be considered proven clinical effects on the basis of the available product description.
Hydrogen-enriched water should not be considered a treatment or a substitute for medical care. If you have a health concern, speak to a doctor.
