Normal Use

For normal use add one to three sticks to .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. For the best all-glass bottles, visit InCleanHealth.com. 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.

Hydrogen Stick Performance:

One Stick - Outperforms ionizer machines.
Two Sticks - Provides dietary hydrogen as though eating a raw food diet.
Three Sticks - Disease Remediation. Maximum hydrogen water can hold.

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.

We recommend shaking the stick 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.

Stick Maintenance

The effectiveness of the stick will deteriorate sooner than its six-month lifespan if it is not cleaned periodically. About once a month the stick should be submerged in a bath of 1 part distilled white vinegar and 4 parts water. Allow the stick to soak for about 30-minutes and confirm the existence of bubbles on the stick (hydrogen gas). Remove the stick and rinse thoroughly under running water. Return to use.

Air-drying the stick or removing it from service frequently can reduce its six-month lifespan due to increased oxidation. Sticks used in this manner (business travelers for instance) may need to be cleaned more often.

Safety

Certain waters may cause the stick to produce more hydrogen than expected which could, under the right conditions, cause a bottle to crack or leak. Use your best judgment at all times and watch your stick attentively when using it with a new water for the first time.

The instructions included with the stick recommend a plastic bottle with a loose cap. Disregard this recommendation. We have thousands of happy customers using both metal and glass bottles without a single failure. Keep your cap on tight and enjoy the addition of hydrogen to your diet.

Verification of Performance

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.

Once this hydrogen producing reaction has stabilized, a common candle provides a good analogy for hydrogen stick performance. A lit candle produces a steady amount of light for a period of time. In laboratory tests, 95% of all sticks produce ample amounts of hydrogen for six months while 80% burn out in the seventh month. Therefore, it is important to mark your calendar with a replacement date.

Another more important confirmation of the generation of hydrogen gas is the improvement to abnormal gastrointestinal fermentation from one to two weeks after starting to use the Hydrogen Stick. There will be such changes as better bowel movements and reduced stool smell.

Many waters have a high capacity to hold dissolved hydrogen and will not exhibit any bubbles at all- even with new sticks. Do not worry, there is nothing to malfunction with the stick. It is merely composed of mineral and ceramic stones. If these stones are in contact with water, they will produce hydrogen gas.

The easiest method by far is taste. Hydrogen-Rich Water feels smooth and silky in the mouth.
