Please suggest relevant communities to share these sorts of nonsense products marketed with unfounded health claims.

#Hydrogen infused water?
I am of course pro #HydrogenEconomy, but this sort of nonsense is just too much.
Packaged in plastic? I can guarantee that any hydrogen that had been “infused” was long gone before it got to the consumer.
That’s why they put so much in. It’s 1/3 hydrogen.
So it’s also infused with microplastics. They should add that to the marketing so people know what a great deal they’re getting.
So it’s really hydrocarbon infused.
Yup.Actually, I think it’s some kind of laminated foil. Still, plenty of opportunity for the hydrogen to escape right past the cap or fly away as soon as you open it.That’s why you open it upside down, dummy!
Finally, Water 2
It’s not H2O. It’s H3O!
H3O+ is delicios, trust me bro, it won’t dissolve your organs, trust me bro
H2O2.
Heavy.
H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide.
Heavy water is 2H2O
Hydrogen Peroxide is perfectly safe to drink.
Because it’s H2O too.
(Seriously, don’t drink Hydrogen Peroxide.)
So is it heavy water?
No. It’s regular water with a little bit (1.6 ppm maximum under 1 atmospheric pressure at room temperature) of hydrogen gas dissolved in it.
Does that actually do anything or is it just a marketing thing?
There are studies which suggest that there are health benefits to drinking hydrogen infused water, but I’m not reading all that. I doubt that the actual research is good quality or that the findings are actually significant. Furthermore, as someone else replied, it’s likely that most of the hydrogen that was infused in the water at the factory has escaped by the time the product reaches the consumer.
This video is pretty good at explaining the bullshit these water companies try to sell people.

Thank you for clearing that up!
<7 pH water, heavy water has the same amount of hidrogen, just more neutrons
Add a spritz of Lemon!

My first thought, H2O2
I’m sure there’s a quack out there trying to convince people that drinking hydrogen peroxide is good for you.
Soooo … acid. Yum.
I guess hydrogen is technically an antioxidant, in that hydrogen + oxygen = boom + no more oxygen.
So there is the thing in the Bio Hacking community, where they recommend H2 infused water, which should have some benefit on your health. I once saw a water filter station, which was generating H2 in the watertank, so you were drinking H2 infused water. Not sure if there is any science behind it to back this.
The economic science of getting people to pay for trendy health things that don’t work. Whether it be detoxing, stone eggs for a vagina, or hydrogen infused water. It’s a proven science. (Note: self-aware irony in that statement, no need to point it out)
If biohacking has gone from a counter-culture of DIY implants to trendy health gimmicks for profit, that’s really upsetting to me.
Trendy health gimmicks for profit have existed far longer than modern bio-hacking. Think radium water or any other snake oil.
Water + water. Seems legit.
H2 is not yet water.
O
Maybe it’s low pH, acidic water?
