      Examples<\/h2>\n<\/div>

      A product can meet the standard of 0.5 mg per liter in many ways. For example, each product simply needs to provide a 0.5 mg dose by ingesting a maximum of 1 L of said product. Any volume of less than 0.5 L would require a minimum concentration of 0.5 mg\/L as explained below. A 250-mL can at 0.5 mg\/L only provide 0.125 mg of H2<\/sub>\u00a0per can. However, by ingesting one liter (1 L) of the product (i.e. four cans), the total provided dose of H2\u00a0<\/sub>would reach 0.5 mg. Thus, the manufacturer should recommend drinking 4 servings per day on the label. Similarly, a 500-mL serving at a concentration of 0.5 mg\/L would only provide 0.25 mg of H2<\/sub>\u00a0per serving.<\/h6>\n

      Ingesting 1 L of the product would provide the required 0.5 mg of H2<\/sub>, and the manufacturer would recommend at least two servings per day. Additionally, if a product provides a concentration of 0.8 mg\/L with a volume of 750 mL, the manufacturer still needs to recommend drinking 1 L per day (e.g. 1.34 servings). Alternatively, if a 250-mL package had a concentration of 2 mg\/L, then each serving would provide the required 0.5 mg of H2<\/sub>, and the only one can need to be recommended. Similarly, a 500-mL serving at a concentration of 1 mg\/L, would require the consumer to ingest 1 serving per day. Lastly, products or hydrogen water devices whose concentration is less than 0.5 mg\/L, and thus cannot provide a dose of 0.5 mg of H2<\/sub>\u00a0per liter of product, cannot be certified.<\/h6>\n<\/div>
