The Truth About Hydrogen Water Side Effects
I have tested over 30 hydrogen water bottles, and the data is clear: Hydrogen gas itself is safe (GRAS certified by the FDA). However, the device you use can be dangerous.
The 3 Real Risks
If you buy a bottle under 0, you are likely exposing yourself to:
- Ozone Gas: A toxic byproduct that causes nausea and headaches.
- Chlorine Gas: Created when cheap plates split chloride in tap water.
- Metal Leaching: Cheap platinum plating flaking off into your drink.
Common "Detox" Myths
Frequent Urination: This is normal. Hydrogen regulates osmolality.
Energy Jitters: Hydrogen upregulates mitochondrial ATP. Do not drink it right before bed.
How to Stay Safe
Only use bottles with PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) technology that includes a waste gas vent. Check our ranked list below.
