A new Australian beverage is claiming to be the world’s first “physically infused” hydrogen water — and patrons can’t get enough of the health-focused concept.
Aptly named business venture Hydrogen Water has developed a one-of-a-kind infusion process for its water to rival your run-of-the-mill Mount Franklin bottle.
This infusion process, achieved through advanced molecular vibration techniques, claims to “charge” the water with high levels of bioavailable molecular hydrogen, a trendy health supplement.

Hydrogen Water claims to have a range of potential benefits including increased energy, reduced fatigue, faster workout recovery, improved immune system function, reduced inflammation, optimal pH balance, enhanced nutrient absorption, better cardiovascular health and joint and muscle health support.
While some early research suggests hydrogen might have antioxidant properties that could contribute to these areas, extensive studies are ongoing.
Co-founder Tremaine Fernandez set out to reinvigorate the Hydrogen Water offering on the market by combining nutrition with eco-friendly practices.
A pack of Hydrogen Water costs $44.99 on the website, considerably more than regular bottled water.
However, the brand uses 100 per cent Australian ingredients, prioritise eco-friendly packaging and has a low carbon footprint.
The brand launched with a unique marketing campaign, dropping silver balloons with free cans attached around Sydney.
Their tagline “Made for High Achievers” shows how they are focused on getting into the hands of health-conscious individuals who value performance and a sustainable lifestyle.
Hydrogen Water is created by adding hydrogen gas to water, thereby enriching the water with additional hydrogen molecules (H2).
This enrichment process can be accomplished through various techniques, with electrolysis being the most prevalent.
In electrolysis, water (H2O) is electrically split into its basic components — oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) — allowing the hydrogen gas to be dissolved into the water under pressure.
This method effectively infuses water with hydrogen, enhancing its properties and making it hydrogen-rich.
