Hydrogen water, also called hydrogenated water and hydrogen-rich water is regular water that has hydrogen gas molecules (H2) added to it.

Hydrogen water is claimed to Reduce Inflammation, Improve Hydration, Boost Mood, Enhance Exercise Performance, Speed Injury Recovery, Clearer Skin, Lessen Allergy Symptoms, Slow the Aging Process, etc.

Molecular hydrogen (dihydrogen, H2) has been suggested that it acts as a therapeutic antioxidant by selectively reducing cytotoxic oxygen radicals[18]. Indeed, hydrogen water has been reported to improve various diseases and tissue injuries through anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities including pulmonary inflammation and asthma[20–24], cerebral infarction (stroke)[18], Alzheimer disease[25], Parkinson disease[26], rheumatoid arthritis (RA)[27], and diabetes[28]. Notably, in addition to tissue-protective effects, hydrogen water attenuated the brain inflammation induced by particulate matters[15]. Such multifaceted beneficial effects of hydrogen water led us to investigate its effectiveness on the fine particle burden in the lungs and blood, and underlying mechanisms.
