THE BENEFITS OF
MOLECULAR HYDROGEN
“Very likely the most important new development in general and
medical health this century!”

reactive oxygen, more commonly known as free radicals. than for vitamins to function at cellular level.
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….
to energy and it occurs inside our cells. About 2 - 3% of our Vitamins C and E, along with Coenzyme Q10, are too large
oxygen uptake during respiration is converted to reactive to pass through the cell membranes. If you consider that

smoking, ultraviolet rays, environmental pollution, etc. About the cells consist of water inside the cell membrane, and
57 600cc of reactive oxygen is made in the body every day. vitamin C cannot pass through the membrane, there is
limited benefit to taking these supplements,” he adds.
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
