-
Hydrogen water is regular water (H₂O) that has been infused with additional molecular hydrogen gas (H₂). The dissolved hydrogen molecules are not bonded to the oxygen in the water, making them available for absorption by the body. Research suggests molecular hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant, targeting harmful free radicals while leaving beneficial reactive oxygen species intact.
-
They are fundamentally different things. Alkaline water has a higher pH achieved by adding alkaline minerals or through ionization. Hydrogen water has additional dissolved molecular hydrogen gas regardless of pH. My Hydrogen Protocol uses hydrogen water produced through electrolysis of distilled water, focusing entirely on hydrogen concentration rather than pH.
-
No. Hydrogen tablets dissolve in water to release hydrogen gas, but the concentration, stability, and purity differ from machine-generated hydrogen. The protocol specifically recommends against hydrogen tablets and portable hydrogen bottles in favor of a dedicated electrolysis machine (the Hydrofix).

-
Hydrogen inhalation involves breathing molecular hydrogen gas through a nasal cannula connected to a hydrogen-generating machine. Because hydrogen is the smallest molecule, it passes through the lungs into the bloodstream and can cross the blood-brain barrier. My Hydrogen Protocol incorporates both hydrogen water and hydrogen inhalation, with particular emphasis on inhaling during meals.
-
The FDA has granted Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status to hydrogen water. A 2024 systematic review of 25 clinical studies found no significant adverse effects. However, choosing the right production method is essential, which is why Greg the Hydrogen Man only recommends the Hydrofix because of its medical grade materials, rigorous engineering standards, and exceptional purity as best in class. The broader My Hydrogen Protocol involves consuming large volumes of water and significant dietary changes. People with kidney conditions, those on fluid-restricted diets, or those taking medications should consult their healthcare provider before starting. Download our Healthcare Professional Summary →

Distilled water is the purest form of water available for home use. Distillation removes virtually all dissolved solids, heavy metals, microplastics, pharmaceutical residues, pathogens, and chemical contaminants. The protocol's rationale is that if water is being used as a carrier for therapeutic hydrogen gas, the carrier itself should not introduce contaminants. Minerals removed during distillation are reintroduced through targeted supplementation.
-
The core equipment includes a water distiller (the protocol recommends an American-made carbon distiller from MyPureWater), a hydrogen water and inhalation machine (the Lourdes Hydrofix Premium), a high-speed blender, and mason jars. The initial equipment investment is approximately $3,500. See the complete equipment guide with sourcing details →

The Official Hydrogen Man Protocol is a structured lifestyle system developed by Greg the Hydrogen Man over more than a decade of direct personal observation and experience. It integrates three pillars: (1) Clean water and hydrogen, (2) High-fiber nutrition, and (3) Daily movement (minimum 20–30 minutes of continuous walking). The protocol is delivered through My Hydrogen Protocol app as a guided, step-by-step program. Learn more about Greg the Hydrogen Man →

No. While the standard protocol is heavily high-fiber, it is designed to be customizable. Users who need or prefer animal protein can incorporate clean meats including beef, chicken, eggs, fish, and bone broth. The protocol specifically excludes pork and shellfish.

The longer you’re on the protocol the better! Results are cumulative and often continue to deepen over months and, in some cases, years. Be patient and stay diligent!
We have found it wise to commit to the protocol for at least 60 days to fully establish these healthy habits and allow your body to adjust. While many people report feeling a sense of renewed vitality within the first few weeks, this is designed as a sustainable lifestyle rather than a temporary fix.
We encourage you to view this as a long-term wellness journey. Just as your body is constantly renewing itself at the cellular level over time, this protocol is intended to provide consistent, daily nutrient and hydration support to optimize that natural process.

Yes, and the protocol strongly encourages this. My Hydrogen Protocol provides a downloadable Protocol Summary for Healthcare Professionals that outlines the program's core components in clinical language. Download the Healthcare Professional Summary →
