Have you heard about the newest miracle water? This is water that has been filled with gas. Admittedly this sounds like another of the many marketing gimmicks we have heard before. It is about the hydrogen water, designed for drinking and bathing. It is driving the Japanese people crazy. While hydrogen water is nothing new to the Japanese, it is the hottest product from HFactor they cannot resist.
HFactor, the pioneer of hydrogen water in the U.S, says that its product does more than quenching the thirst. According to them, it boosts recovery after working out, promotes blood circulation, increases energy, offers antioxidants, suppresses eczema and minimizes allergies. But how is HFactor’s product different from tap water?
Joel Schlessinger, a dermatologist, explains that hydrogen plays the role of an antioxidant in the human body. Hence, hydrogen reduces inflammation and damage to cells. While hydrogen water is famous in Japan, because it is antioxidant-rich, Joel thinks that there is very little research available to demonstrate how it alters the body positively in the long-term.

Joel, however, agrees that two former studies had found a connection between drinking hydrogen-infused water and handling diabetes better. In those studies, participants reported a decrease in cholesterol, yet Dr. Joel Schlessingers insists that more research on this topic is needed.
Marra St. Clair, the Project Juice Co-founder and a qualified nutritionist, confirms that hydrogen water boosts recuperation of the body after enduring intense exercise. This, he believes, could be because hydrogen is an antioxidant that blocks oxidative stress. When training intensely, severe muscle contractions occur. These cause oxidative stress, which triggers fatigue and inflammation. On the cellular level, hydrogen water hydrates the body, boosts circulation and increases energy. Marra confirms this fact.
However, Joel Schlessinger does not believe the claim that hydrogen water clears eczema.
HFactor’s water tastes great, of course, and it is the result of two years of acute development of the company’s own natural system for adding hydrogen gas to pure water.
