Hydrogen Water for Energy: What It Can and Can't Do

By Clover & Young · 2 min read

Hydrogen water for energy is one of the most common reasons people start, usually because the afternoon slump has stopped responding to coffee. Hydrogen water has no caffeine and no sugar, so it works differently from an energy drink. This page covers what studies on fatigue and athletes found, and how people fit a glass into the part of the day that drags.

Foggy by 2pm?

If your energy drops in the afternoon and another coffee only moves the crash later, you are the person most of our customers were. The slump has many causes, and no glass of water fixes all of them. What hydrogen water offers is a daily habit with nothing in it to crash from: no caffeine, no sugar, no calories. Our customers most often tell us mornings get easier first, and the afternoon fog lifts after that.

What research found on fatigue and recovery

A 2023 review in Frontiers in Nutrition pooled 19 studies and 402 healthy adults. Hydrogen lowered perceived exertion and blood lactate, both by small amounts, and the authors called the evidence on fatigue moderate. It did not improve VO2max or endurance. For hydrogen water for athletes, a 2012 pilot with 10 soccer players found lactate did not rise during heavy exercise on hydrogen water, and early muscle power held up better. Research on molecular hydrogen, not on our product.

A tablet for the slump

A Clover & Young tablet makes 10+ PPM of molecular hydrogen in 12 oz of water, from 40 mg of magnesium, in 90 to 120 seconds. Zero caffeine, sugar and calories. Each tablet is sealed in its own blister, tested for hydrogen content by H2 Analytics, and made in an FDA-registered, GMP-certified facility. A strip fits in a desk drawer or gym bag.
