HYDROGEN - the origin of the universe, WATER - the source of life. IZUMIO is created by binding these two forces together. Hydrogen exists in water and most organic compounds, but we never notice its existence in our daily lives. Yet, it is an indispensable element that sustains our lives. For example, carbohydrate and fats give our body energy. When our body utilises the energy from these nutrients, hydrogen plays an important role. In other words, hydrogen is a key substance for all living organisms. Water is formed when hydrogen and oxygen are combined. Water comprises 65% of a typical adult's body weight. It performs vital functions for our daily activities as it delivers the required nutrients to every part of the body and regulates our body temperature, all of which are crucial to our existence.

Redox (reduction-oxidation) is a natural process of life. What is ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential)?
Oxidation is defined as a reaction Oxidation and Reduction of a substance when chemically combined with oxygen, or a reaction whereby a substance loses hydrogen. While reduction is the exact opposite phenomenon, and is defined as the reaction of an Electrons lost Electrons gained oxidised substance that loses (Oxidation) (Reduction) oxygen, or the reaction of a Oxidation is the loss of electrons while substance when it gains hydrogen. reduction is the gain of electrons.
ORP is a measurement of the oxidation reduction ability of a substance. A positive value denotes the potential for oxidation; a negative value denotes the potential for reduction. ORP in our body increases with aging; in other words it has an oxidising tendency. However, even with the body's inclination towards oxidation, it does not mean that reduction is difficult because the ORP is ever fluctuating. Since the load on the body increases as oxidation proceeds, it is important to keep the ORP as low as possible to maintain good health.
Burning charcoal and rusting iron are some examples of oxidation. Meanwhile, removing the oxygen from iron oxide (or iron ore) to produce iron in the steel mill is called reduction.

This example has been simplified for understanding.
Oxidation and reduction are two sides of same coin, and occur simultaneously. For example, while vitamin C reduces interacting substances, vitamin C itself is oxidized concurrently. A human body burns carbohydrates from food with oxygen gained through breathing. In order words, humans create energy by oxidising. Concurrently, the components in our body are reduced when utilising that energy.
Atomic number of hydrogen is 1. It is the smallest element in the universe with a simple structure of one proton and one electron.
Etymology The word hydrogen originates from the Greek words hydro (water) and gennao (to generate). So called because it combines with oxygen to form water.
The most abundant element in the universe Hydrogen roughly constitutes 91% of elemental mass in the universe; this means that most of the universe is made up of hydrogen.
Water is the source of life Most living organisms on Earth were born in the sea. It is said that living on land became possible because their bodies evolved to absorb and retain water.

A Closer Look into IZUMIO 1: Production
Hydrogen-rich IZUMIO is produced by a top-notch technology:
Degassing equipment removes oxygen from water Degassing means removing the dissolved oxygen from water. By means of the degassing process, more hydrogen can be dissolved into the water. Oxygen dissolved into the water is discharged through pores in a hollow fiber membrane*1 when the water is run through it in a vacuum state.
membrane dissolution.
Gas injection equipment injects hydrogen into the water: membrane dissolution. When the surrounding space of the hollow fiber membrane is filled with hydrogen, and de-oxygenated water passes through it, the hydrogen is transferred through pores in the membrane and dissolves into the water. This technology is called the membrane dissolution and it is also used in artificial lung transplants.
Vacuum
