A Tall Drink of Water

Last week we discussed what antioxidants are and why are they important for good health.

For nearly 15 years there has been a lot of focus on hydrogenated water to neutralize the effects of oxidative stress. I have been following this in the research for the last few years. To date, molecular hydrogen has been shown to have therapeutic potential in over 170 human and animal models and in essentially every organ of the body. A great resource for these studies and other information on molecular hydrogen can be found at the Molecular Hydrogen Institute website. Recent studies have shown that hydrogen water provides antioxidant properties, supports cellular energy production, and may help with inflammation. 

Hydrogen is the first and the lightest in the periodic table of chemical elements consisting of one proton and one electron. Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe, constituting roughly 75% of all normal matter. Hydrogen is a tasteless, colorless, and odorless gas. When added to water, it becomes hydrogen water or hydrogenated water. Regardless of which naming convention is used, studies have shown that hydrogen water supports cellular energy production and provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

It is interesting to note that hydrogenated water has been associated with natural springs around the world that are famous for healing and longevity.

Oxidative stress occurs when free radicals and the body's antioxidants are out of balance. Factors such as poor diet, a sedentary lifestyle, air pollution, exposure to industrial chemicals, pesticides, and environmental toxins can increase free radicals within the body. Hydrogen water helps combat oxidative stress to neutralize the effects of free radicals.

It is interesting to note that hydrogenated water has been associated with natural springs around the world that are famous for healing and longevity. Waters with documented therapeutic benefits and contain hydrogen gas include Nordenau, Germany; Tiacote, MX;  Hita Tentyosui, Japan; and Nadone, India just to name a few.

Five simple reasons why hydrogenated water is effective.

1.     Hydrogen is the smallest molecule and easily enters the cell and cellular organelles like mitochondria easier than any other antioxidant.

2.     Molecular hydrogen can convert toxic oxygen radicals to water.

3.     Hydrogen triggers an increase in our body’s own antioxidant system like glutathione and other cytoprotective enzymes.

4.     Hydrogen exerts a beneficial effect on cell signaling, cell metabolism, and gene expression, resulting in anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, and anti-obesity effects.

5.     Hydrogenated water has a high safety profile and doesn’t perturb homeostasis.

This excess of free radicals can be neutralized with antioxidants. Molecular hydrogen has been found to be effective against free radicals. Studies have shown that drinking hydrogen-enriched water can be a good way to help reduce oxidative stress and restore balance to the body.

Just recently Nikken introduced an exciting new product, the PiMag® PiDrogen Hydrogen Generator. It is a mini-generator accompanied by its own 16 fl oz / 475 ml glass bottle. The generator produces hydrogen-rich water that is rich in antioxidants and the glass bottle allows you to drink directly from it. The device is compact and lightweight and produces 800-1200 ppb (parts per billion), the measurement of molecular hydrogen dissolved in water.

PiDrogen system transforms PiMag water alkaline in a source of highly dissolved hydrogen gas concentrated. When consumed, the water in the device PiDrogen provides a large number of antioxidants to help relieve oxidative stress and restore balance to the body. Its exclusive state-of-the-art technology and compact design allow you to take it everywhere. The PiMag Hydrogen Generator ® PiDrogen by NIKKEN ® has been exclusively designed to provide all the benefits of hydrogen. Use the PiMag ® PiDrogen with  PiMag Waterfall® water and enjoy all its benefits.
