Another beneficial effect is on the fluid content of cells. Most of us tend to be hypertonic, where there is a higher water concentration on the outside of the cells compared to the water's concentration within the cell's walls. Hydrogen bonding between water molecules and other substances makes life possible. Water is the fluid of life, and Microhydrin acts in such a way to enable the body's cells use it more efficiently and efficaciously than they were prior to supplementation. Further benefits are realized by Microhydrin's ability to scavenge free radicals in the body.
Free radicals are toxic, dangerously reactive molecules.
Sources of free radicals range from cigarette smoke to sunlight, as well occurring naturally during cellular energy metabolism. Many biologists believe that free radicals play a major role in the aging process and are responsible for causing cancer by damaging the DNA and RNA in cells. The ESR tests showed that Microhydrin scavenged highly reactive hydroxyl radicals, converting them into water. Hydroxyls are one of the more dangerous kinds of free radicals that cells are exposed to, one source of which is ionizing radiation. Microhydrin can inhibit the superoxide-mediated reduction of cytochrome c, indicating that it can scavenge the superoxide free radical.
