Your important FAQ on dosage questions about hydrogen water and inhalation

Good afternoon Mr. Asenbaum

You are becoming more and more right about many of the things you predicted years ago about water.

I would therefore like to ask myself how much drinking water should be enriched with the Aqua Volt Turbo Booster for health purposes. How much PPB? There are devices that achieve a hydrogen concentration of 800 - 1200 PPB, measured in ppb/m? What level of enrichment makes sense or what area? Is there a risk of undesirable side effects if too much hydrogen is accumulated or is this not possible at all due to the physical properties of water?

A colleague from China, a herbal specialist and naturopath who worked at a Swiss hospital for 3 months, pointed out to me that the best thing at the moment for many diseases and problems and also for prevention is an HHO machine for inhalation. Must achieve at least 3000ml/minute, ie 2000 h2 1000 o. The best devices in China would already achieve 6000 ml/m. We had very good success with Covid 19. As far as I know, the Aqua Volt machine produces 3000 ml/m. What is the ideal area of ​​application for inhalation? Does it make sense to go beyond the ratio of 2000 h2 to 1000 o or what are the ideal ratios below that? Does the strength of inhalation (high proportion of h2 to o) depend on the health effect you want to achieve or does the body only absorb what it can process.

Is your Aqua Volt Turbo Booster available?

Thank you very much for an answer.

Hello Mr. Müller,
Yes, my predictions and demands regarding hydrogen medicine have all been fulfilled and even exceeded. Thank you for your important questions, which I will be happy to answer based on my knowledge as of March 2025.
First, let's talk about drinking hydrogen-rich water. To evaluate it, you first need to know exactly what the terms ppm (or ppb) mean. These are relative terms. Ppm means parts per million and ppb is parts per billion. If you now produce 250 ml of water with 1 ppm (=1000 ppb) with a booster, which corresponds to a normal drinking portion, you only consume 0,25 mg of hydrogen with this portion. That is quite little. The hydrogen medicine specialist organization www.intlhsa.org/standards/ requires at least 0,5 mg per serving.

This is also the reason why water ionizers, which are usually limited to this range of 1 ppm, are gradually going out of fashion. Instead, I recommend hydrogen boosters such as the Aquavolta Turbo. This produces 5 ppm in 3 minutes and 10 ppm in 6 minutes. This corresponds to 250 mg or 0,75 mg of hydrogen per 1,5 ml portion, which is significantly higher than the minimum dose required by scientists.

As an expert consensus, I would consider the optimal oral hydrogen therapy to be daily dose of 3 mg With 4 drinking portions of 1,5 mg from the Turbo Booster (5 minute program) you will reach the optimal daily dose. However, if you cannot manage to drink 1 liter of water a day, you can also drink just half a liter with 6 ppm (10 minute program). This is particularly interesting for people who cannot or do not want to drink a lot of water.

Drinking more or drinking higher ppm levels will not do any harm, as excess hydrogen is simply exhaled. There is no such thing as overdose. And some recent studies even suggest that more than 3 mg/day could be beneficial for certain problems. On the other hand, hydrogen is reabsorbed into the blood in the small intestine, where there is an individually different absorption limit.

The same applies to inhalation, although there are very large differences in size here. Even an inhaler that delivers just 100 ml per minute provides 9 mg of hydrogen gas in one minute. This corresponds exactly to the current expert consensus of 3 mg, because we only breathe in for a third of the inhalation time, another third is the breathing pause and the last third is exhalation.

H2 inhalation is different from drinking hydrogen-rich water.

1. Inhalation skips the mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, duodenum and small intestine, where the oral drinking hydrogen is absorbed. Therefore, for all diseases that affect these body segments, there are usually better results with drinking hydrogen-rich water.
2. Inhalation provides not only a hydrogen boost through the usually recommended 30-minute inhalation, but also a permanently elevated hydrogen levels in the blood and distributes it to the organs in a known order. This can allow longer recovery phases, especially for organs that are under increased oxidative stress due to illness, and thus represents an advantage of inhaling hydrogen water over drinking it.
3. On the other hand, drinking hydrogen-rich water can also benefit organs such as the lungs, respiratory tract, mouth and nasal cavity, as excess hydrogen is also exhaled from the lungs. However, compared to the amounts that occur when inhaling, this is of little relevance, especially in the case of respiratory diseases. Here, H2 inhalation is clearly advantageous due to the higher dose and continuous exposure.

H2/O2 inhalation

In principle, hydrogen inhalation always involves inhaling the two gases hydrogen and oxygen, because the hydrogen isn't inhaled pure (otherwise you would suffocate), but rather mixed with the naturally occurring 21% oxygen in the air. Normally, only about 4% hydrogen is added to minimize the risk of fire and explosion. This reduces the oxygen content of the inhaled gas by less than 1%, which cannot yet be considered a "high-altitude training effect," as is often claimed. Ultimately, we only need 18% oxygen to breathe, so the usual <4% H2 inhalation cannot possibly lead to oxygen deficiency. However, there are situations where...

But what if shortness of breath is already present, as in a severe case of pneumonia like COVID-19? What if, for example, a large portion of the alveoli are already blocked by mucus, and the standard therapy would be to administer pure oxygen to compensate for the respiratory deficit? In such a case, it seems sensible to also increase the oxygen content at the expense of nitrogen or carbon dioxide. In China, this was attempted during the coronavirus pandemic, with 2000 devices being deployed that added 4000 ml of hydrogen and 2000 ml of oxygen per minute to the patients' breathing air. A success report was published, but ultimately the Chinese researchers only released data on around 100 patients, raising the question: Where did the data from at least 2000 patients go?

Firstly, there is the considerable safety risk. 4000 ml of hydrogen + 2000 ml of oxygen per minute equals 6 liters of oxyhydrogen gas per minute, which, in the event of an unforeseen ignition, can cause a devastating detonation. Risk management is very complex. With an average respiratory minute volume of 6-8 liters, almost pure oxyhydrogen gas enters the lungs – and most of it also exits them again. A single electrostatic discharge can ignite this highly dangerous mixture if it is not first neutralized by ventilation systems. Even if it might be useful in cases of COVID-19 complications, in my opinion, outpatient private treatment with 6 liters of oxyhydrogen gas per minute is simply too risky. That's so much gas that it's not only inhaled, but a significant amount also escapes and spreads around the head, where there is always a risk of sparks.

Therefore, I cannot entirely agree with your Chinese colleague when he says that 6 liters of hydrogen gas are "the best devices." 3-liter devices that produce 2 liters of H2 and 1 liter of O2 are now in private use worldwide. I continue to strongly advise against devices with higher output for private use. Furthermore, except in cases of acute pneumonia where oxygen ventilation is necessary, I generally recommend only pure H2 ventilation.

H2/O2 mixtures, if actually intended for use, must be absolutely pure and produced from PEM generators using the purest laboratory water. So-called Brown's gas is produced from alkaline electrolysis, i.e., from an alkaline solution. No such device, to my knowledge, has medical approval in the Western world. These devices are known and approved exclusively for use in welding. Besides H2 and O2, Brown's gas contains other components in the vapor, to which some people attribute special properties. There is absolutely no scientific evidence for this. Therefore, I strongly advise against using these devices for anything other than welding. We now know how hydrogen works. We should only supplement its antioxidant effect with the "counter-gas" oxygen in genuine emergencies. Under no circumstances should we use impure gases like Brown's gas for therapy. The risk that residues from the alkaline solution will not be completely filtered out is far too great.
