Hydrogen As An Antioxidant

The research articles below explore the effects of hydrogen-rich water and electrolysed-reduced water on biological systems. Key findings include enhanced antioxidant effects, protection against oxidative damage, increased resistance to environmental stresses, and potential lifespan extension in organisms like Caenorhabditis elegans. These studies highlight the potential benefits of these water types in reducing oxidative stress and promoting overall health.
