The benefits of drinking hydrogen water
Research on Antioxidation and Inflammation Relief
In May 2024, a research team from Osaka University in Japan published a paper in "Scientific Reports", stating that hydrogen-rich water may alleviate chronic inflammation by regulating the gut microbiota, and experiments showed that hydrogen molecules (H₂) have an improving effect on the intestinal environment of patients with metabolic syndrome.
At the same time, a research conducted by Seoul National University in South Korea found that hydrogen water has a significant effect on the repair of muscle damage after exercise, and athletes who consumed it showed a 30% decrease in oxidative stress markers (such as MDA) after drinking.
Neuroprotective Potential
Animal experiments conducted by the School of Medicine of Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China have shown that long-term consumption of hydrogen water can reduce the deposition of β-amyloid protein in the brains of Alzheimer's disease model mice. The relevant findings were published in the journal "Aging and Disease" (June 2024).
Controversial Conclusion
Some scientists have raised doubts about the actual efficacy of hydrogen water, arguing that the solubility of hydrogen gas in water is low and it is difficult to maintain stable existence, and the amount absorbed by the human body is limited. In April 2024, the NIH (National Institutes of Health) of the United States called for more double-blind clinical trials to verify the medical value of hydrogen water.
