An update on this post. An earlier version of this article described personal results from using X2O. That wasn’t right — I haven’t been using an X2O machine, so I’ve rewritten it to reflect what I actually think. X2O is a general-wellness hydration product and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Plenty of readers ask me about LifeWave’s X2O water system, and as a LifeWave Brand Partner I earn commission if you buy one. So here’s why it caught my attention, and what I’d want to see before calling it proven.
Key takeaways
- Hydration matters, and most of us could do it better — from any clean source.
- X2O combines filtration, hydrogen enrichment and a patented process LifeWave calls light infusion.
- Filtration is solid; hydrogen water is early research; light infusion is unproven.
- I’d want independent, controlled trials before believing the bigger claims.
Why it caught my attention
Hydration is one of the unglamorous basics I write about constantly. I take Perform electrolytes daily, and I’m interested in anything that makes hydration easier. X2O bundles filtration and hydrogen enrichment into one countertop unit, and it comes from the company whose X39 patch I wear daily. That’s why it’s on my radar.
What’s solid, early and unproven
Filtration: a sensible thing to want, depending on your local water.
Hydrogen-rich water: small studies with mixed results — interesting, not established.
Light infusion: LifeWave says X2O embeds light frequencies in water that act in the body. There’s no independent evidence for that. You may see quoted figures from LifeWave’s own early testing about people noticing an energy change; those weren’t independent controlled trials. More in what is light-infused water?
What I’d want to see
- Independent, placebo-controlled trials of the complete X2O system.
- Clear outcomes measured objectively, not just how people feel.
- Published results in peer-reviewed journals.
Until then, the honest view is: if you buy X2O, buy it as a filtered, hydrogen-enriched water system — not as a health treatment. And if afternoon energy dips, slow recovery or brain fog are bothering you, start with sleep, training, food and a doctor’s check-up, not a water machine.

Do you use X2O?
No — this article is my evaluation of the product and the evidence, not a personal results report.
Does X2O boost energy or recovery?
No such claim is made here, and there’s no independent evidence that it does. It is a general-wellness product.
Is X2O water safe?
It’s filtered water with added hydrogen. If you have a health condition or are pregnant, ask your doctor about any new wellness product.
Does X2O work with the X39 patch?
LifeWave markets them together. There’s no independent evidence of extra benefit. X39 is a non-transdermal, general-wellness phototherapy patch that gently stimulates the skin with light to support the body’s natural energy flow for strength and stamina.
