Abstract
Hydrogen-Rich Water (HRW), also known as molecular hydrogenated water, is gaining attention for its potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytoprotective properties with applications in health, agriculture, and food sciences. This review critically summarizes recent progress in HRW preparation, physicochemical characteristics, and application strategies. HRW shows promise in enhancing plant growth and stress tolerance, improving animal health and productivity, and providing therapeutic benefits for humans, including metabolic, neurodegenerative, and immune-related conditions. Its role in food products, particularly in extending shelf life and maintaining quality, is also highlighted. Various administration methods such as direct consumption, topical use, and agricultural irrigation are discussed alongside experimental approaches. Current limitations, including dosage standardization, delivery systems, and long-term safety, are addressed, and future research directions are proposed to optimize production and elucidate molecular mechanisms. Overall, HRW emerges as a versatile bioactive medium with broad potential in integrated health and sustainable development.
