NCT ID NCT06788015
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether drinking hydrogen-infused water for 4 weeks improves endurance, hydration, and quality of life in healthy young athletes. Ten collegiate athletes were randomly assigned to drink either hydrogen water or plain water. Researchers measured running time to exhaustion and total body water. The results could show if hydrogen water offers any real benefit over regular hydration.
