Hydrogen water reduces inflammation primarily through its antioxidant properties. Molecular hydrogen (H2) is the smallest and most bioavailable antioxidant, which allows it to penetrate cells and neutralize harmful free radicals at the source. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells and tissues, leading to oxidative stress, a major contributor to inflammation. By neutralizing these free radicals, hydrogen water helps decrease oxidative stress and reduce the inflammatory response in the body.
Additionally, research suggests that hydrogen may inhibit certain inflammatory pathways and molecules, such as cytokines, which are involved in chronic inflammation. Regular consumption of hydrogen-infused water may thus help support the body’s natural defenses against both acute and chronic inflammation, promoting overall wellness and reducing the risk of inflammatory conditions.
