Biographical Information on Alex Tarnava

Alex is the inventor of patented and clinically validated open-cup hydrogen tablets, which have made a significant impact in the health and wellness industry. In addition to his work on growing the commercial market for hydrogen therapy, Alex actively contributes to the ever-expanding research on molecular hydrogen, both through funding support and his numerous peer-reviewed publications.


Ever expanding, Alex is also spearheading numerous other projects. Alex founded the TRUE|LONGEVITY and TRUE|PERFORMANCE line of supplements under Drink HRW, working alongside multiple other experts, from PhDs and MDs to an expert Dietician. These lines of supplements were developed in the spirit of evidence and quality; every ingredient had to be validated scientifically, and dosed appropriately. Moreover, the combination of ingredients had to make sense from a complementary or even synergistic outlook. Alex wanted a line of supplements that weren’t just good products but products he feels he needs to take daily, and as an extension, that others should be taking daily as well. While Alex is no longer involved in the management or leadership of these supplement brands, he continues his work with the companies in an advisory role, with veto rights on any new product launches.
