Question 1

Has anyone tested this product using H2blue reagent?

Accepted Answer

I tested with MIZ H2 reagent (supposed to be the same as H2blue but ethanol based) and it was still turning clear after 10 drops. I stopped adding drops since I was satisfied that it was working. BTW, I tried the drops on a hydrogen generator bottle and got zero hydrogen.

Question 2

Is the H2 comparable to drinking Asea water? Thank you

Accepted Answer

The manufacturers of Asea water claim it contains Redox signaling molecules.  Molecular H2 does the same thing:  How Molecular Hydrogen Works

There are two basic definitions of an antioxidant: 1) a molecule that donates an electron to a radical reaction, and 2) a molecule that improves the redox status of the cell. Redox stands for oxidation reduction. In your cells, you need both oxidation and a reduction of oxidation in order for everything to work properly.

When that balance gets perturbed by too much oxidation, you end up with oxidative stress. If you don’t have enough oxidation, you end up with other serious problems. In many cases, damage is not caused by an excess of free radicals but rather a redox dysregulation.

“We need free radicals,” LeBaron says, “and studies have shown you can actually suffer from too much oxidative stress and too much reductive stress5 (or not enough oxidative potential) not only in the same body or the same organ, but in the exact same cell. Too much oxidative stress in the cytosol; not enough oxidative power in endoplasmic reticulum. Hydrogen helps to bring everything back to homeostasis.”

So, while hydrogen has antioxidant effects, it works primarily by improving the redox status of the cell when needed. As a result, you see improvements in superoxide dismutase and glutathione levels, for example. Not only does hydrogen selectively reduce the most toxic radicals, but it can help prevent an excess (which becomes toxic) of the free radicals from being produced in the first place. This is a very powerful prevention mechanism.

Another way is by activating the Nrf2 pathway when the activation is needed. Nrf2 is a transcription factor that, when activated, goes into the cell’s nucleus and binds to the antioxidant response element in the DNA. It then induces the transcription of further cytoprotective enzymes such as glutathione, superoxide dismutase catalase, glutathione peroxidase, phase II enzymes, heme-1 oxygenase and many others.

“One study6,7 [looking at] metabolic syndrome found that subjects drinking hydrogen-enriched water had a 39 percent increase in extracellular superoxide dismutase. So, yes, hydrogen does have this antioxidant-like effect, because it can help regulate Nrf2 pathway8and bring enzymes and cytoprotective proteins back to the levels they’re supposed to be; back into that realm of homeostasis.”

Question 3

Is there tamper-evident packaging (is there a seal on the bottle)?

Accepted Answer

I don't think there was any type of sealed container but there was a big cotton ball inside. I wish I could remember way back. Drop into distilled water and after it fizzles drink immediately.

Question 4

How quickly does this need to be drank after the tablet dissolves? I have a hard time chugging it down all at once.

Accepted Answer

As soon as the tablet finishes dissolving, drink the entire glass of water, ideally within one minute. The white “cloud” diminishes as the concentration of molecular hydrogen drops and escapes into the air. The sooner you consume it, the greater the dose of H2 gas you’ll receive.
