What are the side effects of hydrogen water

Most people tolerate it well. Hydrogen gas is the lightest molecule and the body breathes it out within minutes.

Possible minor effects

  • Temporary gas or bloating in the first few days
  • More trips to the bathroom as hydration improves
  • If you use magnesium based tablets you also take in magnesium which some people limit

Who should ask a doctor first

  • People with advanced kidney disease or on fluid restriction
  • People who take medicines where fluid or electrolytes are tightly managed
  • Pregnant or nursing mothers who want personal guidance

There are no known serious adverse effects from dissolved hydrogen itself at levels made by consumer bottles. This is general information only.

What hydrogen water bottle does Joe Rogan use

Public figures try many wellness tools and their mentions change over time. There is no official or ongoing bottle endorsement that we can speak for here.

Use this quick checklist instead when you choose a bottle

  • SPE PEM electrolysis cell that vents oxygen and ozone
  • Lab tested dissolved hydrogen target in the 1 to 5 PPM range
  • Materials that touch water are food grade and easy to clean
  • Independent test results and a clear warranty

IonBottles checks these boxes and keeps setup simple. No app. Press one button and go.

Can you put tap water in a hydrogen water bottle

Yes if the tap water is safe to drink. For best results use filtered water with moderate minerals.

Good practice

  • Total dissolved solids in a moderate range helps performance
  • Avoid very hard water that leaves scale
  • Do not use hot water or sparkling water
  • Rinse the chamber and descale as the maker recommends

Is hydrogen water good for the kidneys

Research suggests dissolved hydrogen may lower oxidative stress and support normal inflammatory balance. Small human and animal studies in kidney settings show encouraging signals. It is not a cure and it does not replace medical care.

For healthy people it is generally safe. If you have chronic kidney disease or you track fluids and minerals closely talk with your clinician first.

How long does a hydrogen water bottle last

Care and water quality matter most. Typical ranges for modern SPE PEM bottles

  • Electrolysis cell service life is around 12 to 24 months with daily use
  • Battery around 500 to 1000 charge cycles
  • Gaskets and lids last longer with gentle hand wash

Tips to extend life

  • Use clean water and descale when needed
  • Do not run the cell dry
  • Store dry with the lid off between uses

IonBottles includes a warranty and easy replacement parts so you can keep your bottle working well.

Is hydrogen water just magnesium

No. Hydrogen water is plain water that contains dissolved molecular hydrogen gas. Some tablets use a food-grade magnesium reaction to make hydrogen in the cup. Electrolysis bottles create hydrogen with an SPE PEM cell and do not add magnesium to the water.

Choose the creation method you prefer. Both can raise dissolved hydrogen. Bottles give repeat use with simple cleanup.
