Molecular Hydrogen - Consumer Guide

Alkaline water is experiencing a resurgence in popularity with sales jumping from $47 million in 2014 to $427 million in 2017 (1). Marketers claim alkaline water can correct excess acidity in your tissues, which can then prevent or reverse cancer, arthritis and other degenerative diseases.(2) However, there's virtually no good evidence to support such claims, and I warned people about drinking alkaline water on a regular basis over eight years ago. Molecular hydrogen, on the other hand, does have a number of health benefits, some of which mirror the claims made for alkaline water — and there's a really good reason for that. So, here, I'll review these two types of waters, and the scientific support (or lack thereof) for each of them, and how the benefits of molecular hydrogen were inappropriately transferred over to alkaline water — primarily due to ignorance. What Is Alkaline Water? Alkaline water is water that has gone through electrolysis that separates it into alkaline...

(Mercola.com) - The Remarkable Benefits of Molecular Hydrogen STORY AT-A-GLANCE Molecular hydrogen (H2) is a gas with very unique and selective antioxidant effects. It works primarily by improving the redox status of the cell when needed Hydrogen is the smallest molecule in the universe, which is why its bioavailability is so great. It’s also neutral, so it can easily penetrate any membrane space in your body There are more than 1,000 publications on molecular hydrogen, which demonstrate therapeutic potential in over 170 different human and animal disease models Hydrogen is shown to benefit every organ of the human body, effectively mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation There are several ways to administer hydrogen, including hydrogen gas inhalation, drinking and/or bathing in hydrogen-rich water, intravenous hydrogen-rich saline injection and hyperbaric hydrogen therapy Molecular hydrogen is a gas with very unique and selective antioxidant effects (1).
