- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) negatively impacts daily life, and hydrogen-rich water (HRW) may help alleviate PMS symptoms due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
- In a randomized controlled trial, women drinking HRW showed significantly lower PMS severity scores and improved physical and psychological quality of life compared to those drinking placebo water.
- The study concluded that HRW consumption can effectively reduce PMS symptoms and enhance quality of life during the menstrual cycle.
