Hydrogen Alkaline Water: How Hydrogen Water and Alkaline Water Differ
Hydrogen alkaline water is a label you will see on ionizer machines, bottles and sticks, and it joins two separate ideas. Alkaline water is about pH, how acidic or basic the water is. Hydrogen water is about dissolved molecular hydrogen gas, H2. A glass can be one, both or neither, so it helps to know which number you are actually buying.

Hydrogen water and alkaline water are measured differently
Alkaline water has a pH above 7, usually raised by minerals or by an ionizer. Hydrogen water has H2 dissolved in it, measured in parts per million, PPM. Ionizer machines make both at once, because electrolysis raises pH on one side of the cell and gives off hydrogen. That is where the phrase hydrogen rich alkaline water comes from. The research interest in hydrogen water is about the H2 itself, studied as a selective antioxidant, and the pH is a separate property.
Which number to look for
If hydrogen is why you are buying, look for a tested PPM figure with the amount of water it was measured in, and a named lab. A pH number tells you nothing about how much hydrogen is in the glass. When people search alkaline hydrogen water benefits, the studies they find were testing hydrogen-rich water, and the dissolved hydrogen is what those trials measured and reported.
What Clover & Young tablets make
We measure our tablets by hydrogen. Each makes 10+ PPM of molecular hydrogen in 12 oz of water, from 40 mg of magnesium, in 90 to 120 seconds, tested by H2 Analytics, an independent hydrogen lab. Each is sealed in its own blister pack and made in an FDA-registered, GMP-certified facility. Zero sugar, caffeine and calories.

Questions about Hydrogen Alkaline Water: How Hydrogen Water and Alkaline Water Differ
What is hydrogen alkaline water?
Water that is both alkaline (pH above 7) and carries dissolved molecular hydrogen. Ionizer machines can make both at once.
Is hydrogen water the same as alkaline water?
No. Alkaline water is about pH. Hydrogen water is about dissolved H2 gas, measured in PPM.
Which is better, hydrogen water or alkaline water?
They measure different things. Research interest in hydrogen water is about the H2 itself, so if that is your goal, look for a tested PPM figure.
Do hydrogen tablets make water alkaline?
We measure and test our tablets by hydrogen: 10+ PPM in 12 oz, tested by H2 Analytics.
Does alkaline water lose its hydrogen?
Dissolved hydrogen leaves open water over time, whatever the pH. Drink hydrogen water fresh.
