Hydrogen Water Bottle

There is some evidence that hydrogenated water helps recovery, but staying hydrated does that too
Is there? It stinks of the worst sort of psuedo science nonsense.

If you look through their science page it's all mouse studies (1), tiny groups (2,3,4,5), p hacking(3) and badly controlled studies(5).

5 is awful. Using people with Rheumatoid arthritis as an advert for helping people without RA use is bad, but the study is a text book in how to force a false result. When doing studies on RA you can't mix new diagnosis with established treatments and without a placebo arm it's a joke.

I’m not referring to their claims but the research done by others. Whether it’s better than a bit of salted water, is another entirely different question

Around half way through this an earlier generation of this gets torn apart by a cancer researcher and some statistics geeks.

The science they link to is very poor. If there was better they would be linking to it. It's possible this could help but the evidence for it is incredibly weak.
 
Have you read that? Whatever it is it's not a systematic review. A systematic review finds all the relevant papers, screens then for quality and compares outcomes, both positive and negative.

That just lists everything that hydrogen rich water has ever been tested for and lists it as a benefit or a potential lead without any scrutiny or attempt to compare across papers, which is the entire point.

If that's the best there is then it's absolute junk. That makes Andrew Wakefield look like a medical professional.
 
It appears you jumped in feet first to claim it’s snake oil without any knowledge of the research? This is not the first time I’ve heard people suggest it may work. I personally do not buy in to it and certainly not £30+ quid for a water bottle.

But I do not dismiss something unless I’ve done some research.
