Hydrogen water begins losing hydrogen concentration within minutes as gas escapes. In open cups, most hydrogen is gone in 15–30 minutes. Airtight stainless steel or glass bottles can retain higher levels for 4–6 hours. Cooler temperatures and minimal headspace extend freshness.
Here’s what affects hydrogen retention:
- Type and seal quality of the container
- Temperature and light exposure
- Starting hydrogen concentration
- Amount of headspace in the bottle
That’s why Tyent’s high-output ionizers are designed for maximum H₂ saturation and longer retention, so you can enjoy fresher hydrogen water with every sip.
