What is a good ORP level for water?

Significance of ORP in Hydrogen Water

Indicator of Oxidation-Reduction State:

The ORP value helps determine the oxidative and reductive properties of hydrogen water. A high concentration of dissolved hydrogen typically results in a strong reducing capacity, leading to a relatively low ORP value (negative or close to zero). This means that hydrogen water can act as an antioxidant, helping to neutralize free radicals in the body.

Oxidation-Reduction Capacity:

The ORP value reflects the ability of hydrogen water to act as a reducing agent. A low ORP value usually indicates that the dissolved hydrogen in the water can effectively reduce (donate electrons), thereby reducing oxidative stress, slowing down aging, and improving health.

Specific Examples

ORP Measurement:

Suppose a bottle of hydrogen water has an ORP measurement result of -300 mV. This indicates a strong reducing capacity of the water. Compared to standard tap water (which generally has an ORP of +200 mV to +400 mV), the reducing property of hydrogen water is significantly higher, potentially allowing it to effectively capture and neutralize free radicals, leading to health benefits.

Application Scenario:

After exercise, drinking hydrogen water with an ORP value below -250 mV can help reduce oxidative stress caused by physical activity and promote recovery. Studies suggest that the reducing capacity of hydrogen water may help alleviate feelings of fatigue and expedite bodily recovery.

Important Considerations

Stability of ORP Values:

The hydrogen in hydrogen water may decrease over time and with exposure to air, causing changes in the ORP value. Freshly prepared hydrogen water will have a lower ORP value, while after sitting for a while, the value may rise, reflecting reduced reducing capacity.

Comparison with Other Antioxidants:

While the ORP value indicates the oxidation-reduction characteristics of hydrogen water, it cannot completely replace the measurement of the efficacy of other antioxidants. Therefore, it should be considered in conjunction with other factors.

In summary, the ORP value is an important indicator of hydrogen water’s health benefits and antioxidant capacity. If you have any more interest or questions about other aspects of hydrogen water, free to contact us for more details, whatsapp +86 18129995404!

SOME Q and A

QUESTION: Does a -ORP mean there is hydrogen gas in the water?

ANSWER: No, it only means there is a chemical species in the water that has a reductive potential. It could be hydrogen gas, but it could also be a number of other chemicals, some of which are toxic. In fact, people have died drinking water that had a-ORP due to toxic chemicals.

QUESTION: If the water has dissolved hydrogen gas, does that mean it will have a-ORP?

ANSWER: Yes, when H2 gas is dissolved in water the ORP will become negative. The higher the pH, (lower H+ concentration) the more negative the ORP.

QUESTION: Is ORP an effective way to measure hydrogen?

ANSWER: No, it only indicates if hydrogen is present. A -ORP means hydrogen is present, but it cannot tell you the concentration of hydrogen.

QUESTION: Does a greater -ORP equate a greater concentration of hydrogen?

ANSWER: Not necessarily, it is mainly an indicator of hydrogen, this is because changes in pH essentially overpower any influence on the ORP that changes in dissolved H2 make. Therefore, you cannot measure the H2 concentration with an ORP meter.

QUESTION: Does a greater negative ORP equate greater health benefits?

ANSWER: No. And this line of thinking is potentially dangerous. Some people have died from drinking liquids with a high negative ORP because it contains toxic ingredients (not H2,gas) that gave it a -ORP.

QUESTION: How then should l use an ORP meter in hydrogen water?

ANSWER: You can use an ORP meter to determine if hydrogen is still present in the water, but it can’t be used to estimate or compare hydrogen concentrations. Additionally, other solutions that contain other redox-active substances may be responsible for the negative ORP, it is not always hydrogen.

QUESTION: If a greater negative ORP indicates a greater tendency to donate an electrons, then why isn’t a -800 mV ORP reading better than a-400 mV?

ANSWER: Many factors influence the ORP reading including temperature and pH. Therefore, you can have the same amount of hydrogen and get a -400 mV reading and a-800mV reading depending on the pH. Once you ingest the hydrogen water, whether it is alkaline or not, the pH doesn’t matter because the stomach acid is so strong it makes the pH of the water irrelevant. Moreover, even forgetting about the stomach acid, the pH of the blood and cells are not going to be a pH of 9.5, because that pH is tightly regulated (pH 9.5 to cells is toxic). Thus, the only thing that is relevant is the concentration of the reducing species, which in the case of hydrogen water the reducing species is H2 gas.
