@garybrecka: Hydrogen water doesn't need a complicated protocol to be effective. According to molecular hydrogen researcher Tyler LeBaron, the biggest mistake people make is overthinking when to take it instead of simply taking it consistently. Unlike caffeine, hydrogen isn't about creating an immediate boost before a workout. The research suggests its benefits build over time with regular use, supporting your body's response to exercise, recovery, and oxidative stress. If you're just getting started: • Drink hydrogen water every day. • Stay consistent. • Around your workouts? Before, after, or both can be beneficial, but consistency matters most.
