HydrogenRich Water Stick

HydrogenRich Water Stick

Dr. Hayashi's Original Hydrogen-Rich Water Stick, an FDA Registered Medical Device, creates cleaner, less acidic, Hydrogen fortified anti-oxidant water right in your own water bottle!

Most waters are actually oxidizing, not anti-oxidant. With the HydrogenRich Water Stick you are not just receiving anti-oxidants, but eliminating a major source of oxidation in the first place - low-energy, hydrogen-poor water!

Specifications:

• Dissolved Hydrogen: 0.4 ~1.5 ppm
• Oxidation-reduction potential: -50mV ~ -250mV
• pH: approx. 7.5 ~ 9
• Usable with tap or filtered water.

Usage:

• For normal use, add one to three sticks to 0.5 to 2.0L of water.
• Use a container no larger than 1.5L for one stick, 1L or less is best.
• Use any water that is safe for drinking. Filtered tap water is best and most economical.
• Using the stick with highly alkaline waters (such as water already processed by an ionizing machine) will lessen the hydrogen output of the stick and is not recommended.
• Thoroughly rinse the new stick under running water and place in a personal water bottle with an air-tight cap.
• Fill the bottle all the way to remove as much air as possible. Shut the cap and shake well.
• Wait 10-20 minutes depending on your bottle size and shake again before enjoying the Hydrogen-Rich water.
• If convenient, and for best results, top off the bottle after drinking any quantity to minimize the air gap. This is not required but will increase the amount of hydrogen you receive. Remember to shake after filling and before drinking UNLESS your bottle is not full, then skip shaking before drinking.
• Dr. Hayashi recommends one stick for those younger than 35, two sticks for those older than 35 and three sticks for those worried about their health.

Performance:

• The stick must remain in the water bottle at all times to produce hydrogen-rich water. You cannot pour off the water from a container with the stick as the hydrogen will quickly escape.
• Shake your bottle, with the stick in it, to release gas from inside that may be preventing water from entering and continuing the gas production reaction. If the stick fills up with gas, but due to the surface tension of certain waters does not escape the inside of the stick the reaction cannot continue. It is best then to always shake your bottle.

The stick is composed of magnesium (99.9% pure) and far-infrared ceramic housed in a porous resin. A reaction between the magnesium and the water in the presence of far-infrared rays causes the production of hydrogen.  The life of the stick will vary depending on frequency of use and other conditions, but it should last for at least six months.

Warnings:

• Do not place stick near a flame or heat in a microwave oven.
• Do not heat the stick in a kettle, rice cooker, pot or other such device.
• Do not add boiling water to a stick that has been placed in a container (heat resistant up to 60 degrees C).
• Use plastic bottles and not glass bottles (pressure from the generated hydrogen gas may cause the glass bottle to break or the cap to forcibly fly off).
• Do not wash the sticks with detergents, benzene, thinner or any other volatile solvents (refer to "Stick Maintenance" on the back side).
• Do not place the stick in your mouth (be especially careful with small children as the stick could become lodged in their throats).
• The stick should only be placed in water (not tea, juice or any other liquids).
• Do not break, take apart, drop or provide any other strong shocks to the stick.
• Once the stick has been used it should remain immersed in the water and not exposed to air (this is to prevent the raw materials from becoming deteriorated through oxidation by the oxygen in the air).
• These instructions will need to be read aloud to any visually impaired user.

Storage:

• Keep this product out of the reach of small children and store in a safe location away from high temperature, high humidity and exposure to direct sunlight.
• The bottle cap should be loose if the stick will be left in the bottle for more than five days (do not make airtight).
• Allow for the generated hydrogen to escape (pressure from the hydrogen gas could rupture the bottle).

Stick Maintenance:

• The effectiveness of the stick to generate hydrogen will deteriorate over prolonged use.
• About once a month the stick should be cleaned in vinegar water.
• Submerse the entire stick in the vinegar water (one part table vinegar to four parts water).
• Allow the stick to soak for about 30 minutes and then confirm the existence of bubbles (hydrogen gas).
• Then, remove the stick, thoroughly wash with running water and reuse.

New sticks always produce more hydrogen than water can hold in a dissolved state and thus exhibit bubbles. After a couple of weeks when the hydrogen producing reaction has stabilized, you will no longer see bubbles - this is completely normal. All the hydrogen is being held in a dissolved state within the water.
