Gary Brecka explains how Elemental Magnesium tablets release molecular hydrogen gas when dissolved in water. Tiny hydrogen bubbles pass through the stomach lining into the bloodstream, where they act as a selective antioxidant. Drink the hydrogen-rich water within 20 minutes to get the maximum benefit.

So even though these are Elemental Magnesium tablets, they're not a magnesium supplement because the magnesium is actually going to effervesce into pure hydrogen gas. So when you drop Elemental Magnesium into the water, it's going to react with the water and it's going to start releasing hydrogen gas. If you look at those bubbles, they're all different sizes. These big ones you can see there, but there's really tiny ones right here, and those are what going to go right through the esophageal wall, through your stomach lining, go right into the bloodstream, make their way down into the gut, and be the selective antioxidant benefit that hydrogen gas provides. But elemental magnesium, when it's effervescing, it makes pure hydrogen gas. So you should try to drink this within 20 minutes because you want to drink as much of that gas as possible. And people say, well, isn't water H2O already? Well, yes, but those two hydrogens are already spoken for. They're already bound to oxygen. So those are not what are providing you the benefit. This is why I think the impact that this has in the human body is the greatest discovery of our millennia.
