Oxidative stress is involved in the progression of Parkinson's
Disease. Recent studies have confirmed that molecular hydrogen (H2) functions as
a highly effective antioxidant in cultured cells and animals.
Drinking molecular hydrogen
dissolved water had reduced oxidative stress and improved Parkinson's Disease
features in animals. A pilot study was carried out in people with Parkinson's
Disease who were taking L-dopa. Each person drank either a litre a day of
molecular hydrogen water or only water (without the molecular hydrogen). Symptom
scores improved in those people who drank molecular hydrogen water and worsened
in those people who only drank normal water. The drinking of molecular hydrogen
water was found to safe and well tolerated. It would therefore be an easy means of delaying or
reducing symptoms. A larger clinical trial is intended.
