Hydrogen Water Basics
What is hydrogen water? 

Hydrogen water is regular water infused with extra molecular hydrogen gas (H₂). It’s produced through electrolysis or by dissolving magnesium-based stick packs, allowing water to retain dissolved hydrogen that may offer antioxidant properties.

What are the benefits of hydrogen water? 

Emerging research suggests molecular hydrogen may reduce oxidative stress, thereby enhancing athletic recovery, improving cognition, and reducing inflammation, among other benefits. However, results are preliminary and not definitive.

When should I start seeing the benefits of hydrogen water?

Some users notice benefits within days or weeks, especially for recovery or hydration. Clinical studies often report noticeable effects after 4–8 weeks of regular use.

What research has been done on hydrogen water?

here are over 1500 studies, including more than 200 in humans, examining the effects of molecular hydrogen on oxidative stress, metabolism, recovery, inflammation, and other biological processes. For more information, visit www.hydrogenstudies.com.

Doesn't water already contain hydrogen? 

Yes, H₂ is part of H₂O. Hydrogen water refers to extra dissolved molecular hydrogen gas (H₂) that is not chemically bound in water molecules.

How often should I drink hydrogen water?

Start with one bottle per day and increase gradually. Many people drink it daily for general support.

Can I drink too much hydrogen water? 

Hydrogen water is generally recognized as safe (GRAS). Very high intake may cause mild digestive effects like bloating or loose stools.

Does hydrogen water taste different?

Hydrogen water tastes just like water. It has no added flavor, no aftertaste, and no change in texture. Just clean, refreshing hydration.

Is hydrogen water the same as alkaline or ionized water?

No. Hydrogen water contains dissolved H₂ gas and is pH-neutral. Alkaline water is defined by high pH levels and lacks consistent research support.

What’s the best way to get hydrogen? 

Use devices or stick packs that generate at least 0.5 PPM of dissolved hydrogen, the threshold shown to be potentially effective in research.

Is hydrogen water safe? 

Molecular hydrogen has been widely studied and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS). In some individuals, very high intake may cause mild digestive discomfort, such as bloating or loose stools. If you have specific health concerns or sensitivities, consider consulting a healthcare professional to determine what works best for you.

What is a PPM?

PPM stands for 'parts per million,' a unit measuring the concentration of hydrogen gas in water. Therapeutic levels typically range from 0.5 to 4.5 PPM.

ECHO Flask Hydrogen Water Bottle
How many PPMs of hydrogen does it produce? 

The Echo Flask generates up to 6 PPM of dissolved hydrogen from a 10‑minute cycle and up to 8 PPM in a 20‑minute cycle.

Is the ECHO Flask H2 certified?

Yes. The Flask is certified to produce 8 PPM hydrogen based on third-party testing.

Test Results

Do you have to refill the hydrogen?

Our flask generates molecular hydrogen (H2) fresh each time you run a cycle. The electrolysis process generates H2 directly from the water you put in. There are no cartridges to replace and no added chemicals or minerals are needed.

Does it need special water? 

Only use deionized (DI) or reverse osmosis (RO) water with the flask.

Does the ECHO Flask change water pH or add metals? 

No. The Flask maintains a neutral pH and does not introduce metals into the water.

Can I add supplements to the Flask? 

For best performance and long-term reliability, we recommend using plain water only in the Flask. Adding flavorings, supplements, or powders inside the device can interfere with the electrolysis process and may shorten the life of the unit. If you prefer flavored water or supplements, enjoy them after generating hydrogen water by mixing them in a separate container. Please note that adding ingredients or stirring may reduce the amount of dissolved hydrogen, as hydrogen naturally escapes from water over time. For the highest hydrogen levels, enjoy your hydrogen water soon after it’s made.

Can I put the Flask in the dishwasher?

No. The Echo Flask must be handwashed only. Avoid dishwashers and submerging the device.
