Preferred Label : Hydrogen Rich Water;
NCIt synonyms : HRW;
NCIt definition : A nutritional supplement composed of molecular hydrogen-rich water (HRW), with potential
preventative, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and radiation protective activities.
The molecular hydrogen gas is dissolved in the water. Upon oral administration of
HRW, hydrogen is able to efficiently penetrate cytoplasmic membranes and targets intracellular
organelles, and, being an antioxidant, scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS), such
as hydroxyl radical and peroxynitrite. This may decrease oxidative stress, prevent
cellular damage, reduce inflammatory responses and inhibit apoptosis.;
