Effect of Molecular Hydrogen Saturated Alkaline Electrolyzed Water on Disuse Muscle Atrophy in Gastrocnemius Muscle

Can Hydrogen-Rich Water Help Prevent Muscle Loss?

A 2011 Japanese study found that hydrogen-rich water may help prevent or slow down muscle loss in rats. The researchers used molecular hydrogen saturated alkaline electrolyzed water to reduce muscle atrophy in the gastrocnemius muscle. The findings have implications for humans, particularly those who are bedridden, have limited mobility, or are recovering from an injury.
