Molecular Hydrogen Water

Molecular hydrogen water, also known as electrolyzed reduced water, is an innovation that’s been around for more than half a century, and has been making waves in the wellness and scientific communities. But what exactly is it, and how does it play a role in oxygenating the body? In this article, we’ll explore the fascinating world of molecular hydrogen water and its impact on the oxygenation of your cells to help remit chronic symptoms.

The Molecular Hydrogen Water Revolution

Molecular hydrogen, often represented as H2, is the smallest and most abundant molecule in the universe, which is why this water is the most hydrating on the planet. H2 is also the first element on the periodic table. Because of its small size, molecular hydrogen has remarkable properties that have caught the attention of researchers and health enthusiasts worldwide. In fact, if you search Pub Med, Google Scholar and other journals, you will find that there are over 5,000 studies that have been done on this healing liquid! It has been found beneficial in over 170 disease models as well.

Molecular Hydrogen Water is an Antioxidant

One of the most significant attributes of molecular hydrogen is its antioxidant potential. Unlike traditional antioxidants that neutralize only specific types of free radicals, molecular hydrogen can effectively target and neutralize multiple types of harmful free radicals. This broad-spectrum antioxidant capacity sets it apart as a unique and potent free radical scavenger. This water, when tested with an oxidation-reduction potential meter, will test between -600 to -800 on the ORP scale. That means it has more oxidant reduction potential than green tea!

How Molecular Hydrogen Water Works

Molecular hydrogen exerts its antioxidant effects primarily by diffusing into cells and mitochondria, which are the energy-producing powerhouses of cells. Once inside, it interacts with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other free radicals, neutralizing them into harmless molecules.

This dual action – its small size and ability to specifically target harmful free radicals – contributes to the effectiveness of molecular hydrogen in reducing oxidative stress and promoting overall health.

The Link Between Molecular Hydrogen Water and Oxygenation

Now that you understand the basics of molecular hydrogen, let’s delve into its connection with oxygenation. Oxygenation refers to the process of ensuring that an adequate supply of oxygen reaches the body’s cells, tissues, and organs. Proper oxygenation is essential for the functioning and healing of the body. See this article about Oxygenation if you missed it!

See below for what Molecular Hydrogen Water and Oxygenation do for the body.

Enhances Cellular Respiration

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells generate energy (in the form of adenosine triphosphate or ATP) through the consumption of oxygen and the breakdown of nutrients. Molecular hydrogen can enhance cellular respiration by reducing oxidative stress within cells.

As oxidative stress is reduced, cells can function more efficiently. They become better equipped to utilize oxygen for energy production, ultimately improving the overall oxygenation of the body. This can lead to increased vitality, alertness, and physical performance.

Reduces Inflammation

Inflammation is a double-edged sword in the context of oxygenation. While inflammation is a natural and necessary response to injury or infection, chronic inflammation can lead to tissue oxygen deprivation. Molecular hydrogen water’s anti-inflammatory properties can help mitigate chronic inflammation, ensuring that oxygen can reach the cells more effectively.

By reducing the inflammatory burden on the body, molecular hydrogen water indirectly supports improved oxygenation, as oxygen can move more freely through non-inflamed tissues.

Antioxidant Defense and Tissue Protection

Molecular hydrogen water’s role as a potent antioxidant extends to protecting tissues and cells from oxidative damage. When tissues are exposed to excessive oxidative stress through toxins, processed foods, stressors, etc., it can lead to cellular damage and tissue degeneration.

Molecular hydrogen helps to limit tissue damage by neutralizing free radicals and enhancing the body’s natural antioxidant defenses. This, in turn, maintains tissue integrity and can contribute to better oxygenation throughout the body.

Research and Evidence About Molecular Hydrogen Water

The connection between molecular hydrogen and oxygenation is an emerging field of research, but there is a growing body of evidence to support the potential benefits. You can reach out to me for a document full of linked studies, but here are some key findings from scientific studies:

Improvement in Physical Performance

A study published in the journal “Clinical Medicine Insights: Circulatory, Respiratory and Pulmonary Medicine” in 2016 examined the effects of hydrogen-rich water on 10 male athletes. The results showed that consumption of hydrogen-rich water led to a significant increase in peak oxygen uptake and peak exhaled hydrogen, suggesting enhanced physical performance and improved oxygen utilization.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects – Rheumatoid Arthritis

A 2018 study published in the journal “Mediators of Inflammation“ explored the anti-inflammatory effects of hydrogen-rich water in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The researchers found that hydrogen-rich water reduced levels of inflammatory markers, indicating its potential to mitigate chronic inflammation and indirectly support better tissue oxygenation.

Neuroprotection and Brain Oxygenation

In the realm of neuroprotection, molecular hydrogen has also shown promise. A study published in the journal “Neurochemistry International” in 2019 investigated the effects of hydrogen-rich water on brain injury in rats. The results demonstrated a reduction in oxidative stress markers and improved brain oxygenation in the treated group, indicating potential benefits for brain health. It has also been found beneficial with Parkinson’s Disease as well as Alzheimer’s Disease.

Protection Against Oxidative Stress

A growing body of research suggests that molecular hydrogen has the potential to protect against oxidative stress in various contexts. Whether it’s heart health, liver function, or lung function, the antioxidant properties of molecular hydrogen are being explored for their impact on reducing oxidative stress and promoting better oxygenation in different body systems.

It’s an amazing substance to be sure you’re drinking daily because whether you are actively trying to remit disease or prevent it, Molecular Hydrogen water (AKA- ERW -Electrolyzed Reduced Water) will provide massive health benefits.

How to Incorporate Molecular Hydrogen Water into Your Routine

If you’re interested in reaping the potential benefits of molecular hydrogen water for oxygenation and overall well-being, here the best way to incorporate it into your daily routine:

Invest in a Molecular Hydrogen Water In-Home Ionizer That Produces This Water Through Electrolysis

This is the one that I, as a Functional Practitioner, use and recommend that checks all of the boxes and is the only medical-grade option on the market.

Be sure the ionizer you buy offers all the technology and benefits mentioned below:

• Performs electrolysis
• OEM manufacturer
• ISO Certified
• 8 solid medical-grade platinum-coated, titanium plates (NO mesh plates that breakdown into heavy metals)
• Company longevity (the company that makes our ionizer has been around 50 years)
• You can choose the pH level
• The ionizer produces hypochlorous acid (which can only be done with a salt solution)
• The ionizer auto-cleans
• The company offers maintenance once a year
• Ionizer will last up to 25 years when maintained
• The company has medical certifications
• The ionizer is used in medical establishments

1. The ionizer we use in our home produces molecular hydrogen water via the process of electrolysis, not the addition of chemicals. Electrolysis produces the most antioxidant-abundant H2 water on the planet, testing at -600 to – 800 on the oxidation-reduction potential scale. For perspective, green tea is about -100 and bottled water is about +600. Anything on the positive side of the scale is oxidizing and produces free radicals in the body. Whereas anything in the negative range helps to fight oxidative damage.
2. Our ionizer also has 8 SOLID medical grade platinum-coated titanium plates, which produce molecular hydrogen water and the company has been around 52 years, holding a solid reputation. Due to the process of electrolysis from the ionizer, the electrolyzed reduced water (aka molecular hydrogen water) does not oxidize once it is ingested and comes in contact with carbon dioxide. That’s super important!
3. Plus, our ionizer has more than 85 other uses. It’s an investment that we are super grateful for, as it helped our son ditch every symptom of IBS/IBD, helped all of my joint pain disappear, and helped my husband have massive amounts of energy during his mountain biking adventures and a quicker recovery rate. Plus, his achy joints are gone as well.

We are happy knowing that on a cellular level, the water we drink every day helps promote health, wellness and healing for our whole family. CLICK HERE if you are ready to purchase your own in-home medical-grade ionizer.
