WATCH THIS 1-MINUTE VIDEO to see Hydrogen Tablets in Action

 

Hydrogen water, which is water infused with molecular hydrogen (H2), has been studied for various potential health benefits. I (Danna) just started drinking it consistently a few weeks ago. I’m personally noticing more energy, mental clarity, less inflammatory symptoms like aching joints or stiff fingers. The research below is promising and I will continue to take it one to three times per day to see what benefits I can feel. Some of the research (as noted below) is promising.

TIPS: For best benefits, it is recommended to drink H2 water on an empty stomach. The tablets dissolve much faster if you use room temperature water. Stir your water until the tablet is completely dissolved (about 30-60 seconds) and then drink immediately and all at once within 30-60 seconds for the greatest concentration of hydrogen.

Here are some of the notable benefits supported by scientific research:

  1. Antioxidant Properties

Several studies suggest that hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant, neutralizing harmful free radicals and reducing oxidative stress. For instance, a review published in the journal *Medical Gas Research* in 2010 highlights hydrogen’s potential to mitigate oxidative damage.

  1. Anti-inflammatory Effects

Research indicates that hydrogen water may help reduce inflammation. A study in the *Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition* (2013) demonstrated that hydrogen-rich water could decrease inflammatory markers in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

  1. Metabolic Health

Some evidence indicates hydrogen water can improve lipid and glucose metabolism. A study published in *Obesity* (2016) showed that consuming hydrogen-rich water improved metabolic disorders in patients with type 2 diabetes.

  1. Potential Neuroprotective Effects

Preliminary research suggests that hydrogen may have neuroprotective properties. A 2010 study in *Nature Medicine* indicated that molecular hydrogen could reduce brain injury and improve functional recovery in stroke models.

  1. Skin Health and Protection

Hydrogen water may have benefits for skin health as well. A 2015 study published in *Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology* demonstrated that hydrogen-rich water could alleviate oxidative stress and improve skin hydration.

  1. Heart Health

Some studies have found potential cardiovascular benefits. Research in the *Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology* (2012) indicated hydrogen water could reduce markers of heart failure and improve overall heart function.

  1. Enhanced Athletic Performance

Some studies suggest that hydrogen water may improve physical performance by reducing lactate levels and muscle fatigue. Research in the *Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness* (2012) found that hydrogen-rich water could enhance recovery in athletes.

 

 

While the current body of research presents promising findings, more large-scale and long-term studies are needed to fully understand the extent of hydrogen water’s health benefits and mechanisms of action. Always consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your hydration or health regimen.
