3 - TURBO: The 6th generation
of hydrogen boosters
• Hydrogen gas, H
2,
has been recognized by medical
research as the "gas of life" only in the 21st century.
When drunk, dissolved in water, this can produce
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic
effects. In recent years, a mitohormetic effect has also
come into focus, with benefits similar to athletic training.
• When this began to be understood, an industry first
developed that pressed hydrogen-rich water at high
pressure into aluminum cans or bags, where the H
2
content could be preserved for several months. This
is not only very expensive, but also causes major
waste problems.
• Bubble tablets were also developed that could produce hydrogen-
rich water. However, they are relatively expensive in the long run
and have an acidic aftertaste.
• European consumers in particular therefore gave preference to a do-
it-yourself solution, for which Karl Heinz Asenbaum coined the term
"hydrogen booster" in his book "Electroactivated Water" published
in 7 languages.
• The basis of the do-it-yourself solutions is always the electrolysis of water.
Thus, stationary water ionizers work with a diaphragm electrolysis, while
mobile electrolysis devices work with a so-called PEM cell, in which the
electrolysis gases H
2
and O
2
are cleanly separated and only the hydrogen
accumulates in the water. In addition, boosters such as the Aquavolta® H
2
-
Turbo use pressure systems to dissolve as much H
2
as possible in the water. In
the 6th booster generation, it has now been possible to keep the gas
bubbles so small that the efficiency of the booster has been significantly
increased.
