Most antioxidants are electron donors, meaning they give one of their unpaired electrons to free radicals or oxidants. As a result, antioxidants neutralize oxidants and free radicals, preventing your cells from becoming damaged. However, molecular hydrogen water is a selective antioxidant.

This means that it can specifically target reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are highly reactive free radicals that can cause cellular death and oxidative stress. Not only that, but molecular hydrogen water also specifically targets hydroxyl radicals, which are the most toxic to cells, and for which your body does not have a natural defense.

While oxidation is a natural occurrence, most of us have an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants, resulting in an abundance of harmful free radicals and ROS. Such an increase in free radicals has been shown to increase inflammation and contribute to the development of cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, and more.
