When people think of the water they drink, their first thought may be the water from their tap or the water they buy in bottles at their favorite store. Their second thought might be based on what chemicals are in that type of water or whether or not it has been cleansed of impurities.

As crucial as water is for essential hydration and health, many people do not realize that basic tap and bottled water are not always enough. With brands now touting mineral and vitamin-infused flavorings, many consumers wonder what to turn to.

Hydrogen water, powered by the brand Dr. Water, is the solution.

What Is Dr.Water?

Dr. Water is a hydrogenated water bottle that infuses water with molecular hydrogen (H2).

Dr. Water’s hydrogen water bottle products use a small electrical current to split water molecules into ions. Through a complex process, the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) starts, isolating hydrogen ions (H+) from oxygen ions, which then form molecular hydrogen (H2). This gas dissolves into the water and enriches it.

According to the science behind the process, the health benefits include, but are not limited to:

• Higher physical endurance and lower fatigue
• Reduced body inflammation and better immunity
• Improved gut health
• Anti-aging properties

Who Created the Dr. Water Products?

Yash Verma and Smile Bhateja founded Dr. Water. They were inspired to found the brand because they realized the health benefits of hydrogenated water and realized that they could do more to help others through their knowledge and leadership.

Yash personally watched people close to him struggle with chronic health issues that reflected their lifestyles, many of which were undermined by one fundamental truth: that hydration is the foundation of health. Yash, a certified expert with the Molecular Hydrogen Institute, has worked in technology and sustainability and built Dr. Water in partnership with scientists from Japan and Germany.

Bhateja, who pushed his body to its limits while training for Ironman, realized he was getting hydration all wrong. He realized that, if people understood how hydration truly worked, it could change their lives. Bhateja aims to make high-performance hydration accessible to everyone by blending his athlete discipline with his sharp strategy and design skills.

The Challenges of Changing Hydration

Despite being one of the simplest health habits, hydration is often neglected. Studies show that 17% to 28% of older adults in the U.S. are chronically dehydrated, a statistic that highlights how misunderstood water intake really is. Yash and Bhateja founded Dr. Water to challenge that mindset and make proper hydration both measurable and meaningful.

By increasing overall hydration and utilizing technology capable of hydrogenating water for the population, Yash and Bhateja aim to solve a problem many face daily. With their wide variety of products, flavorings, and Hydrofix supplements, the Dr. Water team wants to make drinking water more enjoyable while helping you be healthier.
