Hydrogen Water: Extra healthy or a Hoax?

Abstract
Hydrogen-rich water (HRW) has emerged as a novel approach in the field of health and wellness. It is believed to have therapeutic antioxidant properties that can neutralize harmful free radicals in the human body. It has also been shown to be beneficial in mitigating oxidative stress-induced damage through its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic pathways. We aim to conduct a systematic review to evaluate the potential benefits of hydrogen-rich water. The review protocol was uploaded on PROSPERO. After the initial search criteria, the articles were reviewed by two blinded investigators, and a total of 25 articles were included in the systematic review. The potential benefits of hydrogen-rich water on various aspects of health, including exercise capacity, physical endurance, liver function, cardiovascular disease, mental health, COVID-19, oxidative stress, and anti-aging research, are a subject of growing interest and ongoing research. Although preliminary results in clinical trials and studies are encouraging, further research with larger sample sizes and rigorous thodologies is needed to substantiate these findings. Current research needs to fmeully explain the mechanisms behind the potential benefits of hydrogen-rich water. Continued scientific exploration will provide valuable insights into the potential of hydrogen-rich water as an adjunctive therapeutic approach in the future.

I bought a 90 day supply and giving it a try.

1. From NIH 2024

Also, it should be noted that, as some of the studies might have been supported by organizations with an interest in hydrogen-rich water products, there could be commercial biases in publication. A proper conflict of interest analysis is required as we move forward.

2. Need more research, so I'll be a guinea pig.

Don't see very many contradictions.
I'll report back on my findings.

3. I've read one needs a bridge to throw the empties from. I've got one, cheap.

4. How about a link to that abstract ? It's not clear if this is just H2 dissolved in water, or what.

If it is, it's probably worthless. H2 can leak out of anything, so it would be lost pretty quickly on storage. H2 can pass through glass, plastic, and many metals. And there's little reason to believe it would last any significant time in your digestive tract. DON'T belch while smoking. DON'T ignite your farts. You could get an explosion.

If it's some hydrogen-rich compound dissolved in water, there's a whole other set of questions that need to be asked.

7. Just google the title of post.

5. Not recommended for smokers. H2 is extremely flammable, most H2-air mixtures are explosive.

Be careful where you store the bottles. H2 can leak through plastic, glass, and many metals.

water.
