The claim that "1 bottle of hydrogen water contains the same antioxidant amount as 600 apples" is not correct and can be seen as a marketing gimmick rather than a fact-based truth. To understand why this claim is misleading, we need to dive a little deeper into how antioxidants and ORAC values ​​work, as well as what molecular hydrogen actually is. ORAC values: ORAC, which stands for "Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity", is a method that was previously used to measure the antioxidant capacity of foods and other substances. However, this method is considered by many, including the United States Department of Agriculture, to be insufficient to accurately measure antioxidant capacity. This is because many bioactive compounds and biomolecules in food have therapeutic and protective effects that are not necessarily linked to their ability to absorb free radicals. The unique role of molecular hydrogen: Molecular hydrogen (H2) does not work like traditional antioxidants. Instead of directly neutralizing a large amount of free radicals, H2 helps regulate the body's own antioxidant systems. This means that H2 can stimulate the body's production of endogenous antioxidants and thus provide more effective protection against oxidative stress. This mechanism is completely different from the traditional view of antioxidants that neutralize free radicals directly. Conclusion: Comparing hydrogen water to a large amount of fruit based on their antioxidant values ​​through ORAC is misleading. It does not highlight the unique way in which H2 works in the body. In fact, the claim of the 600 apples comparison not only demonstrates a lack of understanding of the true functions of molecular hydrogen, but also risks diminishing other significant health benefits that hydrogen water can offer. For a more genuine and scientifically based appreciation of hydrogen water's potential, it is important to focus on how it modulates antioxidant responses and contributes to biological benefits at the cellular level.
