Abstract

Novel functional reduced water, termed hybrid-reduced water (HRW), was produced without electrolysis using a hybrid-reduction technology. In this study, we examined the antioxidative effect of HRW. HRW suppressed H2O2-induced oxidative damage in lymphocyte DNA in the comet assay system. Moreover, HRW reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by H2O2. These results suggest that HRW may have ROS scavenging effects.
