The science behind hydrogen-rich water

The reason that we single out the importance of drinking hydrogen-rich water is that when one drinks water that has been enriched with hydrogen, hydrogen atoms enter the body and almost instantly spread out through the body, where they extinguish free radicals (through REDOX reactions), slowing down aging and disease processes. Free radicals are what cause inflammation, disease and aging, one molecule and one chain reaction of oxidative damage at a time. So, by extinguishing free radicals by drinking hydrogen-rich water, one is actively choosing to live a healthier, longer and higher-quality life. Hydrogen, #1 on the periodic table, is the simplest and lightest element, consisting of just one electron and one proton. It is also the most abundant element in the universe. On Earth, however, hydrogen rarely exists in molecular form. Hydrogen gas (referred to as H2 because each molecule has two atoms of hydrogen) is so light that it easily escapes our planet’s gravitational pull. Water (H2O), which is essential to life, is formed by the combination of oxygen (a powerful oxidiser and essential for life) and hydrogen (a powerful reducer and essential for life). Hydrogen (H2) is considered the primordial anti-oxidant. Oxygen (O2) is a well-known oxidant. Hydrogen was involved in the genesis of life and oxygen is necessary for the existence of life. We breathe in oxygen (an oxidiser) all the time, pushing our bodies towards oxidation. Consuming hydrogen is the perfect and natural way to balance oxidation from oxygen. Hydrogen water is loaded with hydrogen molecules that can extinguish free radicals and cross the blood-brain barrier, cell membranes, mitochondria, and even nuclei. Because of its unique properties, molecular hydrogen has therapeutic benefits in virtually every organ in the body, where it exerts antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy actions with no known side effects. H2 is an extraordinary antioxidant and a free radical quencher that selectively scavenges the most dangerous and destructive hydroxyl radicals. Hydroxyl radicals initiate their cycle of destruction by stealing electrons from molecules in DNA and proteins, destabilising them and setting off a chain reaction of oxidative stress. H2 readily gives up electrons to hydroxyl radicals, which stabilises them and stops them in their tracks. It also reduces the toxicity of peroxynitrite, another destructive oxidant, and further boosts the body’s defences by increasing production of natural antioxidants such as glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase. H2 has beneficial effects on cell signalling and gene expression. It suppresses TNF-alpha and other proteins involved in inflammation and turns on mechanisms that protect against cell death. But because H2 is selective, it does not scavenge essential redox signalling radicals that play a key role as cellular messengers. Molecular hydrogen (H2) can protect cells and tissues from oxidative damage by selectively reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS). Unlike other antioxidants, H2 has the unique capability of crossing cell membranes and targeting organelles such as mitochondria and nuclei. The ability of molecular hydrogen to protect nuclear DNA and mitochondria from oxidative damage is thought to have beneficial effects on chronic diseases and the aging process. Hydrogen-rich water is a potent antioxidant. It can prevent oxidation from inflicting damage on cells throughout your body and it can repair cells that have already been damaged by it, thereby preventing them from becoming free radicals that steal electrons away from their neighbouring cells in the process of trying to repair themselves. Drinking hydrogen-enriched water every day is the easiest and most logical method of obtaining the natural H2 antioxidant. In addition, we recommend drinking hydrogen-rich water for a better absorption of our nutriceuticals, supplements and vitamins.
