When you place the tablet in water, aredox reactionoccurs between the magnesium, acidic additives and water. The process is as follows:
Mg + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + H₂
This reaction splits water (H₂O) intohydrogen gas (H₂)andmagnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂). Thehydrogen gasis released as molecular hydrogen and dissolves in the water, enriching it withhydrogen-rich water.
Once the tablet is dissolved, the resulting water becomes infused withhydrogen molecules.
