Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a scavenger of in vivo harmful reactive oxygen species and/or free radicals, which is capable of effectively reducing the concentrations of in vivo reactive oxygen species and/or free radicals and exhibiting given effects such as the suppression of aging process, the prevention of geriatric or lifestyle-related disease, health promotion, and the inhibition of oxidative stress by virtue of this reduction in the concentrations of reactive oxygen species and/or free radicals. The scavenger of in vivo harmful reactive oxygen species and/or free radicals of the present invention comprises a liquid or gas comprising at least a hydrogen molecule. This medium may further comprise an oxygen molecule. Furthermore, this medium may comprise water or an aqueous solution or may be a gas. The scavenger of reactive oxygen species and/or free radicals can be used in the treatment or prevention of a disorder attributed to reactive oxygen species and/or free radicals.

Abstract: A hydrogen supply system provides hydrogen into a room from a hydrogen supply means through a hydrogen supply pipe. The system includes a hydrogen agitating means to ensure an even distribution of the supplied hydrogen in the room. The system further includes an on-off plug and an exhaust port in conjunction with a sensor and a controller to prevent the hydrogen concentration in the room from increasing to or reaching higher than a necessary level. Furthermore, the hydrogen supply system may be installed and used in building structures and capsule structures.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a lipid metabolism improving agent containing hydrogen molecules that is in a liquid or gas state is provided. The lipid metabolism improving agent of the present invention comprises a liquid or gas containing at least hydrogen molecules. It may comprise a medium containing oxygen molecules. Further, such medium may comprise water, an aqueous solution, or a gas. The lipid metabolism improving agent has effects of suppressing body fat accumulation, arteriosclerosis, and the like.

Abstract: An aqueous beverage (11) in a container (12) is raised in pressure to a predetermined level by a pressurizing pump (13) to feed it to a liquid introduction path (51A), oxygen gas from an oxygen gas container (15) is fed to a gas introduction path (56A) of an ejector (50A), and a pressurized oxygen-containing aqueous beverage obtained from a static mixer (60A) connected to an ejector (50) is led to the upper part of a receiver (21) maintained at normal pressures. Then, the oxygen-containing aqueous beverage (22) in the receiver (21) is again raised in pressure to a predetermined level by a pressurizing pump (23) to feed it to a liquid introduction path (51B) of a second ejector (50B), hydrogen gas from a hydrogen gas container (25) is fed to a gas introduction path (56B) of an ejector (50B), and a static mixer (60B) connected to the ejector (50B) is connected to the upper part of a receiver (31) maintained at the normal pressures.

Abstract: To produce oxygen-containing reducing aqueous beverages with substantial hydrogen content and very low oxidation-reduction potential in spite of their substantial oxygen content, such as water, mineral water, tea, coffee and juice beverages, the oxygen is dissolved under pressure of 1-1000 atmospheres using a gas-liquid contactor, and then the hydrogen therein is dissolved under pressure of 1-1000 atmospheres. These oxygen-containing reducing aqueous beverages can be consumed as reducing aqueous beverages for daily use, without giving rise to any health problems.

Abstract: A reducing ice that after dissolution, exhibits an oxidation-reduction potential of ?10 to ?2000 mV The pH value after dissolution is preferably ?9, and the ice can consist of a member selected from among seawater, deionized marine deep water, mineral water, tapwater, purified tapwater, well water, rainwater, tea, coffee and juice. As the reducing ice even after dissolution has an extremely low oxidation-reduction potential, any liquid can be converted to a reducing liquid by addition of the reducing ice thereto.

Abstract: The reduced water of the present invention is obtained by dissolving hydrogen gas that has been cooled to between −180 and 60 degrees Celsius and pressurized to between 0.5 and 500 atmosphere pressure into water that has been cooled to between 0 and 50 degrees Celsius, then restoring the temperature and pressure of the water obtained to normal.
