Hydrogen water means water containing dissolved molecular hydrogen (H₂). Production, measurement and filling are technical topics. They do not answer a question about health effects.
Dissolved hydrogen as a technical term
Hydrogen gas and dissolved H₂ are not the same measurement object. A reported value needs a unit, a method and a time of measurement. Without these details, figures are not directly comparable.
Electrolysis, magnesium reaction and pressure methods
Electrolysis, a magnesium reaction and pressurised dissolution of H₂ appear in the literature as technical categories. Nakao et al. (2010) documents a magnesium reaction within its specific study setup. This is not a recommendation for a device or method.
Measurement: unit, method and timing
A value depends on method, vessel, temperature and timing. A ppm or concentration figure first describes a measurement condition. It is neither a quality judgement nor evidence of a benefit.
Stability and limits of technical comparisons
Dissolved gases can change between production, filling and measurement. Without matched conditions, product or method comparisons are not reliable. This does not create a ranking or buying advice.

Technical figures can only be read with their unit, method and timing. They say nothing about an individual use.
