OBJECTIVE OF STUDY: Metabolic syndrome is associated with several medical risk factors including dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and obesity, which has become a global pandemic. The consequences of this condition increase the risk of cardiovascular and neurological disease, and increased mortality. Its pathophysiology is associated with redox dysregulation, excessive inflammation, and disturbances in cellular homeostasis. Molecular hydrogen (H2) reduces oxidative stress, improves cell function, and reduces chronic inflammation. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown impressive effects of hydrogen water on specific features of metabolic syndrome, but the outcome of long-term hydrogen water intake by people in this condition remains poorly understood by much of the public.
METHODS: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 60 patients (30 men and 30 women) with metabolic syndrome. An initial observation period of one week was used to obtain baseline clinical data. This was followed by randomized administration of either placebo or high concentration hydrogen water (>5.5 millimoles H2 per day) for 24 weeks.
RESULTS: The group drinking highly saturated hydrogen water significantly reduced blood cholesterol and glucose levels, attenuated serum hemoglobin A1c, and improved biomarkers of inflammation. Homeostasis was found to be redox compared with the placebo group drinking plain water (P<0.05). In addition, the action of H2 showed a tendency to decrease body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio.
CONCLUSION: Our results confirm that hydrogen water with high H2 concentration has positive effects as a therapeutic method to reduce risk factors and improve health status in people with metabolic syndrome.
