TL;DR
Drinking natural mineral water with a negative redox potential, like "Polyana Kvasova" from Ukraine, can improve blood health and has strong antioxidant effects.
Key Finding
Hydrogen-saturated water demonstrated antioxidant effects on blood composition, with natural mineral water enriched with molecular hydrogen showing the most favorable results.
Summary
This study examined how the redox potential (a measure of how easily a substance gains or loses electrons) of different types of water affects human blood. Researchers tested distilled water, tap water, and mineral water, some enriched with dissolved hydrogen gas. They found that water with negative redox potential values—particularly hydrogen-enriched mineral water—appeared to improve blood condition and had antioxidant effects (reducing harmful oxidative stress).
Practical Takeaway
While this study suggests hydrogen-enriched water may have beneficial effects on blood chemistry, important limitations apply: the study design and sample size are not clearly reported, human trial status is unclear, and the research appears preliminary. Early evidence indicates hydrogen-saturated water may support antioxidant activity, but more rigorous human studies are needed before drawing firm conclusions about health benefits.
Abstract (excerpt)
The problem of influence of redox potential of water on human blood is considered and some of research results in this area are given. Results of clinical experiments indicate a positive therapeutic effect of water consumption with the negative value of the redox potential. However, the influence…
