Understanding H₂ dose vs ppm

PPM (Parts Per Million):

This refers to the concentration of hydrogen gas dissolved in water.

• 1 ppm = 1 mg of hydrogen per liter of water
• Think of this as how dense the hydrogen is in your drink.
• If you dissolve a stick pack and it produces 5 ppm in 500 mL (half a liter) of water, it means there's 2.5 mg of hydrogen in that drink.

H₂ Dose (Total Hydrogen Delivered):

This refers to the actual amount (mg) of hydrogen you're consuming in a serving—aka the total dose your body receives.

It's calculated as:

H₂ Dose = PPM × Volume (in liters)

So a high ppm in a small glass = small dose.
A moderate ppm in a big glass = bigger dose.

Example:

If a stick pack provides 5.58 mg of hydrogen and you dissolve it in 16 oz (about 0.47 liters):

• PPM = 5.58 mg / 0.47 L ≈ 11.87 ppm
• H₂ Dose = 5.58 mg

Both values are useful—ppm gives you a snapshot of concentration, while dose tells you how much therapeutic hydrogen you're ingesting.
