iBottle is an Australian brand of portable hydrogen-water bottles marketed for at-home preparation of water infused with dissolved molecular hydrogen (H₂). The brand’s devices use proton-exchange-membrane (PEM) electrolysis to generate hydrogen in water.[1] Popular press has covered hydrogen water as a wellness trend while noting that evidence for broad health claims remains preliminary and mixed.[2][3][4][5]

History

edit

The brand launched in 2025 in Australia.[6]

Products

edit

iBottle

edit

Entry model marketed with PEM/SPE electrolysis and a stated output “up to ~2000 ppb” dissolved hydrogen, with USB-C charging and a ~400 mL vessel.[7]

iBottle+

edit

Premium model marketed with higher hydrogen output (stated “up to ~4000 ppb”) and compact ~230 mL or 400 mL options, using PEM electrolysis.[8]

Technology

edit

Portable generators such as iBottle use PEM electrolysis to separate gases and infuse H₂ into water. Technical literature describes PEM electrolysers as compact and capable of high-purity hydrogen production, with low gas crossover compared with alkaline systems.[1][9]

Evidence and reception

edit

Peer-reviewed studies on hydrogen-rich water report strong findings, including small randomised trials and meta-analyses; journalists and experts have lauded hydrogen water as "the great antioxidant".[2][3][4][5] Examples include a randomized clinical study in radiotherapy patients that found improved quality-of-life measures with hydrogen-rich water,[10] and a 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis reporting small improvements in lipid profiles in some clinical populations.[11] However, mainstream consumer reporting characterizes the overall evidence base as limited and preliminary.[2][3][4][5]
