No, it is better. Dr. Hayashi's research has shown that hydrogen is more important than pH or Oxidation Reduction Potential. Because ionizing machines produce water so slowly, most of the hydrogen has escaped by the time enough has been made to drink. You would also need to drink as quickly as possible, seconds to minutes, as the remaining hydrogen escapes from the water so rapidly.

Only by producing hydrogen constantly can the Hydrogen Stick provide you with hydrogen-rich water. If you were to pour off the water into a glass and wait a few minutes the hydrogen would be gone. We can measure this with instruments. This is why we recommend you put the stick in a personal water bottle and drink directly from it.

Dr. Hayashi is the man who made water ionizing machines so popular back in the '80s. Continuing his research, he determined hydrogen is the most important factor when it comes to health-enhancing water.
