Why on earth drinking hydrogen-infused water increase athletic performance? I honestly doubt any claims made by this shit product.
Edit: I am no chemistry expert, but wouldn't most hydrogen just collect above the water surface and as soon the can is opened, it escapes. I don't know if it happens or not, if I am wrong please correct me.
Hydrogen is lighter than air, so it's like, instant weight loss! Wait until they have hydrogen infused red bull....
Relieving dehydration does increase athletic performance, however
Now, sure, this might not have any difference compared to plain old water, but the marketing never claimed that!
And yes this sort of shitty trickery is exactly what they're doing
I also thought this was a scam like "energized water" and similar, but then found that there are actually medical studies being done on it: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10816294/ But that review paper also says, that larger sample sizes are needed and the mechanisms aren't explained, so it may turn out useless after all.
