H2HUBB TAKEAWAY

In 30 participants with NAFLD, HRW was well-tolerated, with no significant changes in liver enzymes and a trend of improved lipid profile and reduced lactate dehydrogenase levels.

What the Researchers Studied

30 participants with NAFLD.

How the Study Was Conducted

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trial.

How Molecular Hydrogen Was Used

The researchers administered hydrogen-rich water (HRW) to 30 subjects with NAFLD in a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled manner for eight weeks.

What the Researchers Found

HRW was well-tolerated, with no significant changes in liver enzymes and a trend of improved lipid profile and reduced lactate dehydrogenase levels.

Authors’ Conclusion

The authors concluded that the favorable trends in this study in conjunction with previous animal and clinical findings suggest that HRW may serve as an important adjuvant therapy for promoting and maintaining optimal health and wellness.
