Our Story
Modern life leaves you low on the universe’s most abundant molecule, so we made it easy to get more with ECHO Hydrogen-Powered Water.
2005
The Beginning
Paul Barattiero founded ECHO after witnessing his wife’s chronic health challenges improve dramatically when she began drinking hydrogen-rich water. Her struggles included thyroid issues, gynecological concerns, anemia, and short-term memory problems. Driven by that transformation, he immersed himself in molecular hydrogen research and created ECHO to bring this science into everyday life.
2007
Hydrogen is Recognized
The landmark Ohsawa paper — “Hydrogen acts as a therapeutic antioxidant by selectively reducing cytotoxic oxygen radicals” — is published in Nature Medicine, marking the moment hydrogen gas is first recognized as a legitimate therapeutic molecule.
This study establishes the biological plausibility of molecular hydrogen and sparks what will become 1,500+ scientific investigations into its effects.
2010
Paul begins development of the first products.
2012
Launched our First Product
The Echo 7 becomes the brand’s first official product launch, soon followed by a series of advanced, next-generation devices.
2016
Launched hydrogenstudies.com
ECHO creates hydrogenstudies.com to organize all the research on hydrogen water and share what the science is really showing. It became a big step forward, the first simple, reliable place where anyone could search, read, and understand hydrogen science for themselves.
Echo Go+ was the first device that made hydrogen therapy simple, affordable, and easy to carry with you without compromising on clean and healthy quality.
2023
Dr. Paul brings in Josh Carr as CEO and a new ECHO is formed.
2023
Breakthrough Moment
Gary Brecka’s first Joe Rogan appearance in November 2023 becomes a major moment for the hydrogen-water world by telling millions of listeners that hydrogen water is the best water you can drink while specifically mentioning his ECHO device. This pushes hydrogen therapy into the mainstream.
2024
Launched US Based Customer Service and Fulfillment
ECHO builds a fully US based customer service and fulfillment team to provide to give people real support, not just a product. With dedicated care, fast responses, and the best warranty in the industry, ECHO stands behind every device long after it leaves the box.
2024
ECHO becomes the hydrogen water category leader.
2024
Launched the ECHO Flask
The ECHO Flask is launched as the latest evolution in ECHO’s commitment to make real hydrogen therapy simple, portable, and powerful. It combines advanced PEM/Nafion technology, high hydrogen output (8PPM), and never been done smart features in a premium, travel-ready design. It’s the culmination of years of innovation; bringing lab-grade hydrogen water into a beautiful everyday bottle.
2025
Kick Off Research with Andy Galpin, PHD
ECHO engages exercise physiologist Andy Galpin, PhD, to fund an independent, third-party clinical study assessing the physiological effects of hydrogen-enriched water to continue their mission of bringing more scientific rooted education to masses.
Mission
At ECHO our mission is to create a world where optimized water fuels optimized lives and hydrogen health becomes as easy as hydration itself.
Approach
We transform water into a clean source of cellular support, helping people perform at their best. We fuel health at the source, offer convenience that fits real life, share science you can trust, provide support that never stops, and give you the confidence that your hydration works as hard as you do.
Research
Our commitment to research means we don't just follow the science—we advance it, conducting our own studies and analyzing existing research to translate molecular hydrogen's benefits into products you can trust.
Values
Health: Support performance at the source.
Convenience: Hydrogen health made simple.
Science: Rooted in research.
Support: Care that goes beyond the product.
Confidence: A trusted tool in high-performance routines.
