Welcome to Phoenix Rising!
Created in 2008, Phoenix Rising is the largest and oldest forum dedicated to furthering the understanding of, and finding treatments for, complex chronic illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, long COVID, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and allied diseases.

From some other medical sources, the hydrogen in these hydrogen waters is supposed to quench hydroxyl radicals, which are OH-. This feature is especially useful if one has iron problems which create the hydroxyl radicals through Fenton reactions.
Hi @Tammy - no, I've never heard of this. It's rather pricey - how long does it last? Do you feel like it's made any significant difference for your ME/CFS? In any event, that's great to hear it helped your skin so much!@Mary Have you ever heard of megahydrate? It delivers negatively charged hydrogen ions to the cells when you add the powder or capsule to water. I love it as it really does give me a lift and I can also see the difference in my crepe like skin. My skin went to shit a few years back. Also, I continuously feel dehydrated when I don't take it. phisciences.com
I don't know about significant. All I can say is when I stop taking it (I can't always afford ).......I can tell the difference. Sorry I don't know how to explain the difference.Do you feel like it's made any significant difference for your ME/CFS?
I wonder if Cellfood would have the same effect for you? It's $27 a month, taking it 3 x a day, though some people need less.I don't know about significant.

Thank you for this @Tammy. I have a friend who's adamant about hating water and never, in the 30 odd years I've known her, drinking enough of it. She might be induced to if she could see the kind of difference you've mentioned in this post.Have you ever heard of megahydrate?
You mentioned your friend hating water. It's hard for me to drink water too.........although I force myself and get plenty of liquids (I think). When I add the megahydrate capsules to my water..........I can drink a glass with no problem at all. It goes down so smoothly and effortlessly and I find I want more. It isn't forced.Thank you for this @Tammy. I have a friend who's adamant about hating water and never, in the 30 odd years I've known her, drinking enough of it.

I'd never run across MegaHydrate before, and her b'day is coming up, soooooo .... gift problem solved !!!
I ordered an H2 generator and will report here.
What type of machine did you order? Some only produce low concentrations of H2, whereas others produce high concentrations.
The method I use (pressurized bottle method) produces H2 concentrations of 5 ppm (I was able to measure the H2 concentration in the water directly). Some methods however only produce 1 ppm or lower, if the water is not pressurized. For example, you can buy hydrogen rich water sticks which you place in a glass of water, but these will only produce around 1 ppm or less.
Pressure in the bottle is the important factor: Henry’s Law (from physics) states that the concentration of a gas dissolved in water is proportional to the pressure applied. That's why high concentration hydrogen rich water makers use a pressure bottle.
@Hip I read the post and saw the video. But did I miss where the amounts of ingredients are
How do you get one that isn't contaminated with arsenic as so much magnesium is? And why magnesium at all? Can one use something else?
It's possible that the water you drank wasn;t being efficiently up-taken by the body's many systems that rely on it. Enough got thru to keep you alive, obviously, but not enough to fully hydrate you ....I never understood why I could drink and drink...........but still never feel hydrated. What's that all about I wonder?
