In recent years, hydrogen water has been mentioned more and more in the community concerned about health, sports and anti-aging. This is a pure water supplemented with molecular hydrogen gas (H2), which is said to bring antioxidant benefits and support body recovery.
According to Dr. Arpit Bansal, an intestinal health and longevity doctor at Jeevan Jyoti Hospital (Pradesh, India), scientific studies over the past decade have shown that molecular hydrogen can act as a selective antioxidant.
It helps neutralize harmful free radicals without disrupting important cell biological processes. Thanks to this property, hydrogen water is being researched in the field of disease prevention, recovery after exercise and daily hydration support.
Currently, hydrogen water is popular in three forms: water-soluble tablets, portable hydrogen water generators and bottled or canned hydrogen water.
In many countries, this is considered a high-end health care product with a higher price than regular drinking water.
Some studies published in international scientific journals show that molecular hydrogen can help reduce oxidative stress, which is a factor related to chronic inflammation, fatigue and premature aging.
In addition, hydrogen water is also said to support gut health, regulate immunity and improve energy levels. However, experts emphasize that the research results are still not consistent enough to draw a definite conclusion.
Regarding how to use it, Dr. Arpit Bansal said that there is currently no official dosage recommendation. Some experts suggest drinking 1-2 glasses per day as part of a water supplementation habit, or 500 - 750 ml/day for people who exercise a lot. Hydrogen water should be taken immediately after mixing because hydrogen evaporates easily.
Dr. Bansal noted that hydrogen water is not a medical treatment method and cannot replace a healthy diet and lifestyle. Users should consider this as a supplementary option and consult experts before long-term use.
