Molecular Hydrogen in Reduced Alkaline Water

In recent years, ionised alkaline water has been gaining notoriety as a natural solution for promoting health, energy and well-being.

But what’s really behind its alleged benefits?

A new scientific review published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences reveals a clear and surprising answer: the real therapeutic agent is not the high pH, but the molecular hydrogen (H₂) dissolved in the water.

Reduced Alkaline Water: Much More than pH

Alkaline Reduced Water (AR or ERW – Electrolyzed Reduced Water) is produced by electrolysing water, a process that separates its ionic components and results in water with antioxidant potential and a high pH.

However, for years, scientific debate has centred on the true origin of its benefits.

The scientific review article available at PMC9738607 brings to light a definitive conclusion: the therapeutic effects attributed to ionised water are due exclusively to the presence of dissolved molecular hydrogen – and not to characteristics such as high pH or negative ORP (oxidation-reduction potential).

Molecular Hydrogen: The Simplest and Most Powerful Antioxidant

Molecular hydrogen (H₂) is the smallest molecule in existence.

Thanks to its size and neutrality, it is able to penetrate deep into cells and mitochondria, where it exerts its beneficial effects.

Scientific evidence shows that H₂ has:

  • ✅ Selective antioxidant action: neutralises only toxic free radicals (such as the hydroxyl radical), without affecting beneficial reactive species.

  • ✅ Anti-inflammatory effect: modulates the expression of genes involved in inflammation.

  • ✅ Cell protection: preserves the integrity of DNA, mitochondria and cell membranes.

  • ✅ Positive impact on metabolism: regulates cell signalling pathways and improves homeostasis.

⚠️ Important note: These benefits are not associated with the high pH of the water, but with the concentration of H₂ dissolved in it.

Debunking the Myths of Ionised Water

The scientific review also debunks some ideas often spread in the marketing of alkalised water:

  • ❌ “Water microclusters”: There is no scientific evidence to prove the existence or function of these alleged molecular groupings.

  • ❌ “Active hydrogen” or “free hydrogen atoms”: These are incorrect concepts; what is therapeutically relevant is dissolved, molecularly stable H₂.

Therefore, when looking for an ioniser or therapeutic water system, the most important thing is to confirm that the equipment really does generate dissolved molecular hydrogen at effective levels.

What does this mean for those who use Aquapure products?

How do you know if you’re using the right ioniser?

Not all equipment is the same. A system that only changes the pH of the water does not guarantee the therapeutic benefits of H₂.

To ensure effectiveness:

  • Demand technical data on the concentration of H₂ (in ppm).

  • Check that the ioniser has high-quality electrolysis cells.

  • Favour brands with published studies and a reliable track record.

Testimonials and Real Cases

Several users of Aquapure.pt equipment report:

  • More energy and mental focus.

  • Faster recovery after exercise.

  • Relief from digestive and inflammatory symptoms.

  • Improved sleep quality and skin hydration.

Although results may vary, the effects of H₂ are promising and based on solid science.

Conclusion: A New Perspective on Water and Health

Science has confirmed it: molecular hydrogen is the real protagonist in the benefits of reduced alkaline water.

This discovery reinforces the importance of choosing reliable equipment, such as that promoted by Aquapure.co.uk, to ensure that you are investing in functional water with a real impact on your health.
