Hydrogen-Infused Water for Endurance Performance, Body Hydration Biomarkers, and Health-Related Quality of Life

The Effects of Hydrogen-Infused Water on Endurance Performance, Body Hydration Biomarkers, and Health-Related Quality of Life in Healthy Young Men and Women (HYDRO2EAU): A Randomized-Controlled Clinical Trial

The study investigates the impact of 4-week hydrogen-infused water consumption on various health and performance outcomes. Conducted with healthy young adults, the trial assesses endurance performance, hydration biomarkers, and health-related quality of life. Participants are randomized into intervention and control groups, with outcomes measured over a specified period. The findings aim to elucidate whether hydrogen-infused water water provides significant benefits for physical performance, hydration status, and overall well-being compared to standard hydration methods.
