Drinking + Bath Tablets: Two Ways to Experience Molecular Hydrogen.

Key Takeaways:

• Two ways to experience molecular hydrogen: Drinking Tablets turn ordinary water into hydrogen-rich water you can drink, while Recover Bath Tablets create a hydrogen-rich bath you can soak in.

• Drinking Tablets: Infuse your glass of water with molecular hydrogen, which is absorbed through your gut and enters the bloodstream to support cellular health from within.*

• Recover Bath Tablets: Infuse your bathwater with molecular hydrogen, which is absorbed through your skin to support recovery and relaxation.*

• Complementary routines: Drinking hydrogen water during the day and enjoying a hydrogen bath in the evening offer two different ways to incorporate H2Tab into your routine.

Oral Delivery: Hydrogen Water From the Inside Out.

Oral delivery simply means taking something by mouth. With H2Tab Drinking Tablets, magnesium reacts with water to release molecular hydrogen gas, creating hydrogen-rich water. When you drink it, dissolved hydrogen passes through your gut and into your bloodstream, traveling throughout your body to help manage oxidative stress from within.* 

Studies suggest that hydrogen levels in the blood can rise in minutes of drinking, highlighting molecular hydrogen’s rapid absorption and bioavailability.²

Drinking hydrogen-rich water supports:*

• Cellular health: Helping your body maintain a healthy balance against oxidative stress.³

• Energy and focus: Supporting your everyday energy and mental clarity.⁴

• Gut health: Supporting your digestive wellness and a healthy gut environment.⁵

• Performance and recovery: Supporting how you perform during a workout and how you recover after.⁶

One of the biggest advantages of Drinking Tablets is their convenience. You can prepare hydrogen water at home, at work, or on the go.

Transdermal Delivery: Hydrogen Water From the Outside In.

Transdermal delivery means absorption of molecular hydrogen through the skin into the bloodstream. As the body’s largest organ, the skin serves as a vital protective barrier and plays an important role in overall wellness. 

H2Tab Recover Bath Tablets use an elemental magnesium-based reaction to generate molecular hydrogen directly in your bathwater. During a soak, molecular hydrogen passes through all of the skin’s layers, entering the bloodstream through tiny blood vessels beneath the skin. Once in circulation, molecular hydrogen can travel to other tissues and organs, supporting the body’s natural defenses against oxidative stress. This offers a unique approach to wellness that begins at the skin and explores potential benefits throughout the body.*

Bathing in hydrogen-rich water supports:*

• Muscle recovery: Supporting your recovery following physical activity.⁷

• Skin health: Supporting skin hydration, smoother-looking skin, a more even complexion, and clearer pores.^8-10

• Circulation: Promotes healthy blood flow.¹⁰

• Relaxation: Eases physical tension, and supports a deeper sense of calm.*

H2Tab Recover Bath Tablets make it easy to add molecular hydrogen to your existing bath routine. While researchers continue to study how hydrogen travels through the skin and what effects it can have both externally and internally, a warm bath provides an opportunity to slow down, relax, and make time for yourself.

Make the Most of Your H2Tab Routine.

A few simple steps can help you get the most from your H2Tab routine.

For Drinking Tablets:

1. Fill a glass with 12-16 oz. of water. We recommend using room-temperature, still water. Drinking Tablets can also be added to other non-carbonated drinks.

2. Add 1-2 tablet(s) per glass of water. 

3. Let the tablet(s) fully dissolve. Wait approximately 60-90 seconds. As the tablet(s) dissolve, they infuse your water with pure molecular hydrogen.

4. Drink as soon as the tablet(s) fully dissolve, ideally within 20 minutes, as molecular hydrogen gradually escapes from the water.

Prefer chilled water?  Simply add ice after the tablet(s) have fully dissolved.

For Recover Bath Tablets:

1. Fill your tub or basin with water. Use a standard bathtub for a full-body soak, or a smaller basin for more targeted recovery.

2. Add in your tablet(s). Use one Bath Tablet per five gallons of water—approximately 15-20 tablets for a standard bathtub.

3. Wait for the tablet(s) to fully dissolve before submerging. As they dissolve, they'll infuse your water with molecular hydrogen.

4. Soak for 15-20 minutes for optimal results.

Temperature Note: Warm water works best. Extra-hot water causes hydrogen to escape into the air more quickly, reducing the amount available in the bath. Cold water works too—just allow a little extra time for the tablets to fully dissolve before getting in.

Drinking + Bath Tablets: Better Together.

Drinking Tablets offer a convenient way to enjoy hydrogen-rich water, supporting your wellness routine from the inside out, while Recover Bath Tablets pair molecular hydrogen with a relaxing soak for an outside-in approach. Used together, they offer complementary ways to incorporate molecular hydrogen into your routine, targeting wellness from different directions.
