Oxidation-Reduction-Potential (ORP) Explained

OXIDATION-REDUCTION POTENTIAL ORP BASICS* One of the characteristics of water containing dissolved molecular hydrogen (such as ionized water) is that it exhibits a negative oxidation-reduction potential (O.R.P.).1Chemical reactions occurring in an aqueous solution are called redox reactions.2 The ORP measures the capacity of a solution to either release or accept electrons from chemical reactions. The ORP value, much like pH,…

Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP): A More Complete Explanation

HALF-REACTIONS As explained previously, ORP is measured in volts and informs us of a solution’s oxidizing or reducing potential.1 An ORP probe measures the voltage difference between redox couples in accordance with their half reactions2 (see table 17.1 below). For example, the first redox couple fluorine (F2) is a strong oxidizing agent. If you measured the voltage difference between F2 and…

Is Molecular Hydrogen Safe?

Molecular hydrogen (also known as H2, diatomic hydrogen, hydrogen gas, or dihydrogen) is a tasteless, odorless gas that can be used as a therapeutic treatment due to its antioxidant effects and ability to reduce oxidative stress. Whether consumed via inhalation, injection, drinking hydrogen water, or applying it topically, it is generally considered safe.  In fact,…

Why MHI doesn’t promote, sell, or endorse specific hydrogen products

One of our most asked questions is what product(s) we recommend. While this may seem like a very easy question to answer, we have taken the position of not recommending specific products for many reasons, which we will discuss here. We know this can be frustrating as a consumer, as you want an answer from…
