Stay sensible
Hydrogen water is still water. Your total daily water needs depend on your size, activity and our dry, high-elevation climate. If you have kidney or heart conditions or take medications, ask your doctor about your fluid intake.

Common questions
Can you drink too much hydrogen water?
Drinking too much of any water at once can be unsafe. Normal amounts of hydrogen water are considered safe; see safety.
Is morning or evening better?
There's no solid evidence either way. Drink it fresh, whenever fits your day.
