Hydrogen is flammable. The Inhale has low-water protection, internal fans against gas build-up, a gas separator, deionisation filters and heat vents. Keep the cannula tip away from open flames, sparks and cigarettes, and use it in a normally ventilated room. More on safety

“I didn’t want hype. I wanted data, something proven to work.”
Raluca Ril · holistic health coach and speaker, seven months with Nord Inhale
After years of chronic health challenges, Raluca went looking for an inhaler with a strict list. This is why she chose Nord.
“It has become an essential part of supporting my health. And I don’t say that lightly.”
H₂HUBB measured the Inhale's output with an Alicat mass flow meter over one-hour sessions. It came in above our own spec.
H₂HUBB official test report, 22 May 2025. Distilled water, 18–21 °C, 900 mL/min mode (600 H₂ + 300 O₂ rated), 10-minute warm-up, average of at least three runs, converted to standard conditions. Read the report →
With a nasal cannula, gas that flows while you breathe out is simply lost. Pulse Mode stores the hydrogen made between breaths and releases it the moment you inhale, as a pulse of up to 1,322 mL/min: twice the continuous flow, and up to 8.8% hydrogen in the breath you take. Watch where the gas goes.
Live graph of hydrogen flow. With Pulse Mode, hydrogen made while you breathe out is stored and released as a pulse of up to 1,322 mL/min the moment you breathe in, delivering 44 to 60 mL per breath. On continuous flow it stays at about 661 mL/min and the gas that flows while you breathe out is lost, about 22 mL reaches you per breath.
Measured by H₂HUBB, official test report, 22 May 2025: pulse delivery of 44–60.5 mL per enhanced inhalation on 70–80% of breaths, "effectively doubling, and in some instances tripling" inhaled concentration, about 4.0–8.8% per enhanced breath. The graph is an illustration at a resting 12 breaths a minute: peak shown as twice the measured 661 mL/min; ≈ 22 mL is 11 mL/s over a two-second inhale.
In inhalation, "every company in the hydrogen space has something to sell," as H₂HUBB puts it. Makers of each design argue theirs is the only one that works. So here are the numbers from H₂HUBB, an independent tester that sells no machines.
Human studies mostly use 1–4% hydrogen in the air you breathe. At a resting 6 L/min, H₂HUBB estimates a cannula device needs roughly 150–960 mL/min to get there. Nord Inhale measures 661.
H₂HUBB names exhale losses as the main limitation of nasal-cannula devices, and names pulse mode as the exception. Ours lifts delivery to 44–60 mL per breath, up to 8.8% inhaled.
PEM/SPE is what H₂HUBB calls the gold standard for purity: over 99.9% hydrogen, no combustible mix inside the device. And at 300 mL/min, blood oxygen differed by just 0.8 points in a 2026 trial, not clinically significant.
| Pure hydrogen (PEM/SPE)Nord Inhale 2.0 | Hydrogen mixed with air | Oxyhydrogen / Brown's gas | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it makes | >99.9% pure H₂, oxygen vented separately | Pure H₂ premixed with air to 1–4% | H₂ and O₂ together, 2:1, from lye electrolyte |
| Inhaled H₂ | Scales with flow; up to 8.8% per breath with Pulse Mode | Capped at about 4% by design | High at high flows |
| H₂HUBB's view | "Gold standard for purity"; no combustible mix inside the device | Safest by design, but "therapeutically capped" for higher-dose use | Combustible through the whole gas path; caustic electrolyte to handle |
| Upkeep | Distilled water, drain monthly | Low | Electrolyte, flame arrestors, plate wear |
Breathing nothing but hydrogen from a sealed mask would, which is why Nord uses an open nasal cannula. Every breath mixes with room air: even at the 8.8% H₂ peak in Pulse Mode, the air you breathe still holds about 19% oxygen, against 21% normally.
Research shows a dose response: higher inhaled concentrations often outperform lower ones, and human studies have used 5–12%. A 4% ceiling is a design limit, not a finding.
Safety comes from engineering and use: enclosed gas paths, valves, shut-offs, and no flames or sparks nearby. Pure-H₂ systems have been used in many human trials.
No head-to-head human trial shows it. Where it seems to win, it's usually just more hydrogen reaching the body.

The 300 mL/min study is Botek et al., 2022 (post-COVID rehabilitation); the oxygen study is a 2026 randomised crossover trial in 20 active women. Inhaled concentration varies with breathing.
Inhalation is the one form of hydrogen where safety really matters. Here's what the device does, and what we ask you to do.
The cells shut down before they can run dry and overheat.
Keep air moving inside the housing so hydrogen can't build up if there's ever a leak.
Hydrogen and oxygen leave through separate ports, so the cannula carries pure hydrogen.
A gas separator and deionisation resin keep the output above 99.9% hydrogen.
Dedicated vents stop the cells and electronics from overheating during long sessions.
No open flames, sparks or smoking near the cannula tip. Use it in a normally ventilated room and only with distilled water.
“At 51 years old, working as a coach part-time and also really interested in anything interesting that comes up - Nord hydrogen Inhale has absolutely improved my recovery from intense workouts. Also, to my surprise, looks like it also lowered my LDL cholesterol. I read about this from Ben Pakulskis IG. It did sound a bit funny to be honest, but my blood tests confirm that.”
“… The Nordhydrogen inhale 2.0 on the other hand seems to have a real effect but its hard to explain the feeling after inhaling hydrogen for an hour. What i did test was my physical performance directly after inhaling hydrogen and what i found was that i had significantly less difficulty while planking (exercise). On a sidenote i also reached a new lowest resting heart rate of 51 bpm (measured with HRM pro plus from garmin) during my sleep … Also i found the manual to be a bit lacking in details but it's easy to figure out how everything works. …”
Only distilled or fully demineralised water. Minerals damage the membranes. A ZeroWater filter gets tap water to TDS 000 without distilling. Change the water about every 30 days; it uses around 10 mL an hour.
You set the timer from 1 to 6 hours. It takes 20–30 minutes of breathing for hydrogen levels in the body to level out, so most people run it for at least that long.
They're different routes. Drinking puts hydrogen through the gut and liver; inhaling delivers it through the lungs to the bloodstream. They're studied separately and one doesn't replace the other. More on the science
You'll hear the internal fans, similar to a small air purifier. Sleep mode dims the display for evening sessions.
