        THE BENEFITS OF


        MOLECULAR HYDROGEN




        “Very likely the most important new development in general and

        medical health this century!”

               excel at researching human diseases. Currently, there

        university’s researchers – 90% of them are as a result of harmful   coenzyme etc. Dr Kim of KYK states, it is easier

        WHAT IS REACTIVE OXYGEN?                              “We fill our bodies with antioxidant supplements
        Reactive oxygen is a normal by-product of converting glucose   and we try to eat healthily, but….

        ARE ALL REACTIVE OXYGENS BAD FOR
        YOUR HEALTH?
        There are four types of reactive oxygen - superoxide anion,
        hydrogen peroxides, singlet oxygen, and hydroxyl radical.
        Some of them are needed to fight harmful microbes by killing
        infecting bacteria and pathogens in the body. Hydrogen
        excels at targeting the bad free radicals and it is believed to
        even modulate the production of the good/needed oxidants
        through gene expression. The real enemy of good health is
        Oxidative Stress and the Hydroxyl Radical is the undisputed
        Heavyweight Champion of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS).

        HOW DOES THE BODY REMOVE THE
        HYDROXYL RADICALS?
        The human body’s noxious reactive oxygen defibrillator is   ENTER MOLECULAR HYDROGEN WATER
