Frequently Asked Questions
What is hydrogen water?
Hydrogen water is ordinary drinking water that has been enriched with gaseous hydrogen. Using an electrical process (electrolysis), water is split into its components hydrogen and oxygen. During the reaction, the hydrogen remains pure; it does not react chemically with the water. It also does not form any byproducts. In plain language, this means that it contains pure hydrogen. Some users have mentioned that the water tastes better. Drinking hydrogen water therefore has a positive effect on our health. What has long been a trend in Japan is also becoming increasingly popular here.
What are the benefits of hydrogen water?
Hydrogen water - or "hydrogenized water" - is a real all-rounder: It helps to reduce wrinkles and counteract premature skin aging. Due to its molecular structure, hydrogen water penetrates into the cell nucleus. The effect on our metabolism is diverse: If we drink hydrogen water, it is a real boon for our body. Hydrogen water has been proven to fight free radicals, activate our metabolism and help to regenerate muscles.
Why is hydrogen water so healthy?
Our body is made up of more than 60 percent water. In order to be efficient, to supply our body cells with important nutrients and to rid the body of dangerous radicals, it is necessary that we drink a lot. Ideally, this should be isotonic liquids. The background is as follows: Scientists have discovered that the cause of our aging is oxidants. These are also directly linked to the occurrence of chronic diseases.
But what exactly are oxidants? Oxidants are the result of an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise and environmental pollution. If all of these factors occur in excess, our body produces oxidants. These have a destructive effect. If the number of bad oxidants in our body is higher than the number of protective antioxidants, over-acidification occurs - also known as "oxidative stress".
But what does hydrogen water have to do with fighting oxidants? It's simple: scientists have discovered that molecular hydrogen can fight oxidative stress safely and effectively. Results show that hydrogen is an effective antioxidant. When we enrich water with hydrogen, it changes its redox potential and acquires an antioxidant effect. This is because hydrogen is the smallest and most effective antioxidant: Due to its size, it can penetrate everywhere, even into our nerve cells. So if we drink hydrogen water, the hydrogen it contains can work at the cellular level.
How does hydrogen water affect our body?
Hydrogen water is a real miracle weapon when it comes to health. Its effect on our body is extremely diverse: it tightens the skin, moisturizes our eyes and ensures a healthy heart. Hydrogen water is also able to activate our metabolism and support muscle regeneration - for example after exercise. Scientists also believe that hydrogen water is able to remove toxins from our body.
