Molecular Hydrogen Therapy: Science, Benefits & Safety | Aquela H2 Library

Hydrogen water is water infused with hydrogen gas (H2), the first element on the periodic table. Hydrogen water is different from water containing hydrogen ion (H+), the amount of which is used as a measure of acidity.

The saturation concentration of hydrogen gas in water is about 1.6 ppm, 1.6 mg/liter or 0.8 mM under normal conditions. It is nearly two million times higher than hydrogen concentration in natural water, because little hydrogen gas is present in the atmosphere.

A biochemist and a Nobel prize nominee, Dr. Garth Nicolson describes molecular hydrogen as the best antioxidant of all and advocates the use of molecular hydrogen in beauty, fitness and health. His group published a review article in 2016, pointing out several important facts concerning molecular hydrogen (1). [link to article] He also spoke about the potential benefits of molecular hydrogen in YouTube (Thermo Medica), which we believe is one of the best educational materials for the public.

We are affiliated with researchers and clinical physicians conducting research into the potential benefits of molecular hydrogen. Please read H2 Library  or contact us for more information on the status of the research.

Aquela 8.0 generates pure hydrogen gas and produces record-breaking 8 ppm, super saturated hydrogen water without affecting the pH and/or taste of the source water.

Aquela 8.0 uses a patented technology (PCT application in January 2018). Water permeates through its sachet membrane and reacts with ingredients (aluminium powder and calcium hydroxide). Amazingly, nothing comes out of the sachet, except for pure hydrogen gas.

Molecular hydrogen is administered through (a) oral ingestion of hydrogen gas enriched water, (b) inhalation of hydrogen gas, (c) intravenous injection of hydrogen gas enriched saline, and (d) transcutaneous application of hydrogen gas enriched water and other solutions.

Hydrogen gas inhalation is probably the preferred mode of molecular hydrogen administration in the clinical settings. However, the concentration of molecular hydrogen needs to be controlled between 2 – 4 %, otherwise, hydrogen gas inhalation can pose significant health and safety risks.

Aquela 8.0 and its predecessor, Aquela 7.0, have been used in clinical studies. We will continue our efforts to elucidate the potential benefits of molecular hydrogen; however, we believe that Aquela 8.0 is the safest and easiest way to bring molecular hydrogen into your everyday living.

Aquela 8.0 is registered as a food or nutrition supplement in the United Kingdom. It is manufactured at the state-of-the-art GMP facility and conforms to the stringent safety and quality guidelines in the United Kingdom. GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practice and are the practices required to conform to the guidelines for the manufacturing and sales of pharmaceutical and supplement products.

We will continue clinical studies in collaboration with researchers and clinical physicians around the world. It is our hope that, one day, we will be able to register Aquela 8.0 as medicine.

Yes, you can chill, or add flavour to, Aquela 8.0 hydrogen water. However, this is only after enough hydrogen gas is produced – this means after 24 hours of putting the sachet in the bottle in most cases.

It is important to know that sugar and a number of other organic compounds prevent Aquela 8.0 from generating hydrogen gas, and that only the beverages with near neutral pH is suitable for the use with Aquela 8.0.

One example of such beverages is tea. However, please remember that tea may stain the bottle, and that tea has to be chilled to room temperature before the use with Aquela 8.0.

Hydrogen is the smallest element in the known universe. Because of this, hydrogen gas can penetrate through the wall of plastic containers and escape through the seal of aluminum cans and pouches.

Japanese scientists led research into the potential benefits of molecular hydrogen. Consequently, the market is flooded with hydrogen water products in both plastic and aluminum containers. In 2015, the Japanese Consumers Affairs Bureau tested the hydrogen concentration in those products, finding that they did not contain as much hydrogen as their label claimed.

A simple answer to the questions is, “Make hydrogen water and drink it as soon as practical.”

Generally, hydrogen concentration is reduced from 8 ppm to approximately 4 ppm over a 1-hour period at room temperature after opening the bottle.

A portion of hydrogen gas escapes from the water, when you transfer the water to a cup or glass. The same happens when you swirl or agitate the water after opening the bottle.
