Hello. I have previously discussed hydrogen inhalation, hydrogen baths, hydrogen water, and hydrogen supplements, and this time I received an interesting question from a reader. I would like to answer the question, “How long can the hydrogen in hydrogen water be retained, and what are the best storage methods?”

One reason the hydrogen water trend once declined was that the amount of hydrogen contained in the products did not meet expectations. Hydrogen is an extremely small and light molecule that tends to escape quickly from containers, so particular attention is needed for its storage technology. Currently, due to technological advancements, it has become possible to retain about 90% of the hydrogen for a week by using special aluminum bags and keeping them in a vacuum state.

Also, since hydrogen is tasteless and odorless, it is difficult to determine whether it is actually present. Therefore, I recommend using a machine to generate hydrogen water and drinking it immediately after production or storing it by sealing it in a special aluminum bag. This allows you to enjoy fresh hydrogen water both at home and when you are out.

As a further application of hydrogen water, I can mention a hydrogen water generator that Dr. Nobuhiko Miwa, Professor Emeritus at Hiroshima University, was involved in developing. Since this machine contains platinum, it may be beneficial for periodontal care. In practice, some people use hydrogen water in their water flossers to help with gum care.

As a client’s anecdote, one person packed hydrogen water in a special bag and brought it with them on a business trip from Japan to New York, and they were very impressed that they had hydrogen water with them even in NY. I hope that a day will come when hydrogen water can be easily enjoyed at home, the gym, or anywhere in New York, just like in Japan. You can incorporate the benefits of hydrogen into your daily life.
