Do these work? Anyone use one and can recommend one?

i am intrigued to try.

I just ordered these tablets. 12 ppm.

I just ordered Gary Brecka H2Tabs

Never heard of this but it has some interesting early studies, unlikely to be harmful so only risk is $$

ETA: Picked up one from Amazon on a lightning sale for $38. What the heck it can't hurt.

Hydrogen water shows promising potential health benefits, but more research is needed to conclusively prove its effectiveness. Several studies have demonstrated positive effects:
[ol]

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties: A randomized, double-blind trial showed that hydrogen-rich water consumption decreased inflammatory responses and increased antioxidant capacity in healthy adults12.

Metabolic health: High-concentration hydrogen-rich water decreased blood glucose and cholesterol levels, improved serum hemoglobin A1c, and reduced inflammatory biomarkers in individuals with metabolic syndrome13.

Athletic performance: Some studies suggest hydrogen water may reduce fatigue, increase endurance, and improve recovery times after workouts35.

Liver function: Hydrogen-rich water consumption improved liver function in patients with chronic hepatitis B and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease13.

Radiation side effects: Hydrogen water showed potential in offsetting negative effects of radiation therapy, with higher quality-of-life scores reported in cancer patients3.

Mental health: Cancer patients treated with hydrogen water experienced less anxiety and improved mood3.

[/ol]While these results are encouraging, it's important to note that many studies have been small-scale, and some have shown mixed or inconclusive results. More extensive research is needed to fully establish the efficacy of hydrogen water for various health conditions48.

Answer from Perplexity: pplx.ai/share

Doc, what is the chemistry/mechanism of action behind this? You swallow this and it goes into your stomach. Isn't that just offset by your body's stomach acid and internal regulation of that? That's why I thought the alkaline water was just a scam.

Hydrogen rich means what exactly, acidic?

Following

Molecular hydrogen (H) is small and stable enough that it doesn't chemically react or degrade in the stomach. It diffuses rapidly through the small intestine without breaking down and freely enters cells.

Thanks lax buddy!

H2 reduces oxidative stress and improves redox homeostasis partly mediated via the Nrf2 pathway, which regulates levels of glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase, etc.

H2, like other gaseous-signaling molecules (e.g. NO, CO, H2S), modulates signal transduction, protein phosphorylation, and gene expression, which provides anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, and anti-apoptotic protective effects

If one assumes that the hydrogen ion is the species being discussed, they may think that adding hydrogen gas (H2) to water will change the pH of the water. But, molecular hydrogen (H2) is a neutral molecule that, when dissolved in water, has no influence on the water's pH. Alkaline ionizers raise the pH of the water not as a direct result of adding H2 but because in order to produce H2, they must consume the H+ ions in the water, thus making the water more alkaline. Methods of producing hydrogen water such as bubbling or infusing, which simply add pure hydrogen gas to water, do so without changing the original pH of the water.

Hmmmm. Interesting.

One problem that no one has discussed is that you have to be careful around open flame with this stuff. One fart and it will be over.

What the heck, I clicked your Amazon link and said what the heck, I'll try it. I ordered it at noon.

The bottle was at my house yesterday when I got home from work. That is the fastest I've ever gotten anything by online order in my life.

You must have Amazon drivers in your area. If it was coming via USPS it would be shipped via rural South Dakota and show up in a couple weeks.

I'm 30 minutes from Atlanta and live on some acreage in the boonies. I have one bar cell signal at the house. I guess I must be close to the Amazon warehouse or whatever. Still crazy fast.

Anyway, I'll post any results. Pretty cool looking LED lights on this thing. You press a button and you can see gas bubbles. Very cool, even if it's all hogwash. Worst case, I'll be drinking more water.

We were getting drone service here for a bit in South College Station. Was pretty cool getting stuff dropped in your driveway an hour after ordering. It is on hold for now due to FAA & software updates or something.

Drone delivery? That is insanely cool. We all may be eradicated by cyborgs in a few years, but at least there is gonna be a bunch of cool stuff until then.

Had my first Tonal workout since getting my bottle and it was one heck of a workout. I still got pretty gassed but really felt like I could push to 160 and keep going which is pretty nice for a chubby middle aged fella.

No way to know if the hydrogen bottle helped vs getting 8.5 hours of sleep and only seeing 20 patients but I'll take it.
