Why I Started This

My Water Story

Courtney, The Hydration Collective

I've always been really into health and wellness — eating well, exercising, staying hydrated. But I still struggled with slow muscle recovery after workouts, gut issues that would never fully resolve, major seasonal allergies every year, and worst of all — brutal period cramps so bad it was honestly a struggle to function some days. I was frustrated with a medical system that just kept pushing more medications rather than addressing the root of the problem. So I started to do a deep dive on holistic options, and that's when I first heard about molecular hydrogen water (or electrolyzed reduced water, ERW). After reading a bunch of research and testimonials I decided to go all in and buy a machine. Within weeks, things started to shift. And now that I know what was possible for me, I can't help but want to share it with the world. It's too good not to. So here's hoping my health journey can inspire you or someone you know 🩵

What Makes It Different

Not All Water Is Equal

Tap water, bottled water, reverse osmosis — most people never question what's in their glass. But the type of water you drink matters as much as how much you drink. Here's what sets hydrogen-rich water apart.

1
Molecular Hydrogen
H₂ is the smallest molecule in existence. It penetrates every cell in your body — including crossing the blood-brain barrier — acting as a selective antioxidant that neutralizes only the most harmful free radicals.
2
Deeper Cellular Hydration
Electrolyzed water has a negative charge (ORP) that supports cell membrane stability, helping water move more efficiently into your cells. It's hydration that makes you want to drink more.
3
Naturally Alkaline
Unlike bottled alkaline water — which adds chemicals like sodium bicarbonate — this water is alkalized through electrolysis. Nothing added. The pH is earned, not manufactured.
4
Five Waters, One Machine
From drinking water to produce rinse to skin toner to natural sanitizer — the K8 produces five pH-specific waters that can replace many toxic products under your sink.

Peer-Reviewed Research

The Science Is Real

Grounded in published research, with sources linked so you can read them yourself. Here are a few of the studies that convinced me — and that continue to shape how I talk about this water.

Athletic Recovery
Hydrogen-rich water & muscle recovery in elite swimmers
A 2024 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found that hydrogen-rich water reduced muscle damage and soreness markers in elite swimmers after intense training sessions.

Inflammation
Hydrogen-rich water reduces inflammatory responses in healthy adults
A randomized, double-blind, controlled trial found that immune cell death was significantly lower in the hydrogen water group — suggesting H₂ may protect immune cells from oxidative damage.

Gut Health
Hydrogen-dissolved alkaline water & gut microbiota
A double-blind randomized trial found that drinking alkaline electrolyzed water increased Bifidobacterium — a beneficial bacteria linked to reduced inflammation and a healthier gut microbiome.
Tanaka et al. · Medical Gas Research · 2021 ↗
The Foundation
Molecular hydrogen as a selective antioxidant
The landmark 2007 study published in Nature Medicine demonstrated that H₂ selectively neutralizes the most harmful free radicals — without disrupting the beneficial ones your body needs. This opened an entire field of research.

Over 1,000 peer-reviewed studies on molecular hydrogen have been published as of 2024. All studies referenced above are freely available on PubMed.

In Their Words

People Who Made the Switch

I love this water!!!! I find myself gulping it back because it's so good and really refreshing. I no longer get heart burn, which I used to get multiple times a week. And my hip doesn't bother me anymore! Before I started drinking this water I thought I would probably need a hip replacement in the future, and now I can go up and down the stairs feeling like I did 20 years ago.

Monica
Coquitlam, BC

I never used to drink water. Hated the taste of it, and it always felt heavy in my stomach. Was honestly quite skeptical about trying the Kangen water, but my wife wanted to start with a water share. Took me a few weeks before I actually gave it a try, and I am now a full supporter and we bought our own machine. I take litres with me to work, keeps me feeling hydrated and energized. I also started applying the 2.5 pH acidic water (also from the machine) to basal cell carcinoma on my nose twice a day. I’ve been battling it with harsh chemical creams for 26 years and it would always come back. Now it’s been over 4 months and my oncologist declared my nose cancer free. I can’t say for certain what made the difference, but those were the only changes I’d made. Pretty incredible.

Dale

This water has made a huge difference for me, especially around when I get my period. I don't have cramps anymore! And every month I would get awful hormonal migraines that took me down for days at a time. It's honestly been life changing.

Two Ways In

💧
Book a Water Share

Try the water before committing to anything. A water share is a simple, no-pressure way to try molecular hydrogen water and witness the benefits yourself. If you live in Maple Ridge, Canada we can set it up directly through me, or if you live elsewhere, I can help connect you to someone else running a water share. Monthly memberships are $50 and you get 1 gallon daily refills of 8.5, 9.0 or 9.5 pH Ionized Hydrogen Water.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

What exactly is hydrogen water?
+
Hydrogen water is regular water (H₂O) with additional dissolved molecular hydrogen gas (H₂) infused into it through a process called electrolysis. H₂ is the smallest molecule in existence, which allows it to penetrate cells and mitochondria in a way most supplements simply can't reach. As of 2024, there are over 1,000 peer-reviewed studies on molecular hydrogen and its effects on human health.
How does the K8 machine work?
+
Tap water first passes through the K8's built-in filter, then flows over eight platinum-dipped titanium plates where a gentle electrical current is applied. This electrolysis process separates water into two streams: alkaline, hydrogen-rich water for drinking and various wellness uses, and acidic water for external use like cleaning and skincare. The K8 produces up to 1.8 ppm of dissolved molecular hydrogen — above the 0.5 ppm therapeutic threshold established in clinical research.
What is a water share?
+
A water share is the easiest way to try the water and start feeling the benefits. I believe in this water enough that I'm confident once you try it, it speaks for itself!
What does it cost?
+
Pricing and available payment options can vary. Use "Start My Order" for current ordering details, or message me directly to discuss options — I'm happy to walk you through everything with no pressure.
Can I drink it every day?
+
Yes — the drinking settings on the K8 are designed for everyday use. I recommend starting at a lower drinking setting (8.5 pH) and working up gradually as your body adjusts. Across all peer-reviewed studies to date, hydrogen water has shown an excellent safety profile with no adverse effects reported. As always, consult your healthcare provider about your individual circumstances.
Does the K8 ionizer have to be in my kitchen?
+
No! The machine can be anywhere it can hook up to a tap and has a power source. I've seen it in bathrooms, laundry rooms, even attached to a garage sink. There are lots of different hook up options and adapters — I'm happy to walk you through that and figure out what works best for your space.
