Latest Supplement Craze? Hydro-di-oxide liquid form reviewed and tested

Mike Kabbani wrote this in lifestyle ~ 1 year ago // -

I love chemicals and pills, and chances are you do too, since ~80% of Americans take 1 or more prescription drugs or supplements. We love spending money, swallowing pills and injecting our problems away - just as long as we don't have exert any effort.

If that sounds like you, then we got a treat for you! So lets delve into this new wonder drug that's backed up by hundreds of studies.

Hydro-di-oxide or H-DO for short, like growth hormone and testosterone (!), is an integral part of almost every process in the body. It helps with brain function and cognitive ability, ATP production in your muscles, rebuilding and repairing tissue and even genetic expression! On top of that, majority of the population is pretty deficient in this essential chemicals.

Effects of Mild Deficiency (Very common)

  • Headaches
  • Low blood pressure
  • Dizziness or Fainting
  • Constipation/Stomach aches
  • Muscle cramps
  • Fatigue
  • Irritability
  • Increased appetite
  • Decreased focus
  • Low mood/depression

After athletic activity, participants underwent cognitive tests, which included short-term memory and mood scales among others. The researchers found that [H-DO] dehydration was associated with negative mood, including fatigue and confusion, compared to the hydrated group.

The level of mild [H-DO] dehydration (losses of between 1 percent and 2 percent) experienced among participants in the study could be compared to the mild [H-DO] dehydration some people experience in their daily lives from [insufficient H-DO intake]

So, most people are deficient and it's seriously effecting their health and optimal function. Does supplementation add a lot of benefits? Lets find out.

Benefits of H-DO Supplementation

  • Increased fat loss 12
  • Increase your BMR
  • Improved liver and kidney function
  • More muscle gain
  • Increased Energy
  • Improved focus
  • Improved mood
  • Better Recovery
  • Better Joint Health

H-DO Deficiency and Strength

  • Fatigue severity was significantly increased by 70%
  • Mean power was significantly decreased: 7.17% in the upper body and 19.20% in the lower body.
  • Peak power was significantly decreased: 14.48% in the upper body and 18.36% in the lower body.

How much H-DO do you need?

Intake varies by age, gender, activity level, climate etc. Since you lose a lot of H-DO through sweat and urine intake, it has to be increased accordingly. Aiming for a gallon a day is a good start - yeah I know, unfortunately that's what we're stuck with until they can concentrate it more!

In the US, the reference daily intake (RDI) for H-DO is 3.7 litres per day (L/day) for human males older than 18, and 2.7 L/day for human females older than 18

Another recommendation is half your bodyweight in oz. So a 200lb person should drink 100oz. I recommend you keep this essential supplement with you at all times and keep it topped off.

How do I maximize my H-DO?

Daily H-DO supplementation is essential, and unlike your 1 a day multi, you gotta drink this stuff all day long. So get a big water bottle and fill it with all that H-DO goodness.

I use the 64oz one, max it out with pure H-DO.

H-DO and Electrolytes?

Electrolytes are minerals that help regulate most body functions, they are also dissolved in H-DO so they are very closely connected. More importantly they help with maintaining blood pressure and fluid balance. We're mostly concerned with fluid balance since if you are electrolytes become too depleted then you can't retain or use H-DO properly.

The main electrolytes you need are:

  • Sodium
  • Potassium
  • Magnesium
  • Calcium

All known higher lifeforms require a subtle and complex electrolyte balance between the intracellular and extracellular environment. In particular, the maintenance of precise osmotic gradients of electrolytes is important. Such gradients affect and regulate the hydration of the body as well as blood pH, and are critical for nerve and muscle function. Various mechanisms exist in living species that keep the concentrations of different electrolytes under tight control. link

Symptoms of low electrolytes can get a bit complicated, beyond the scope of this article, since there are many essential electrolytes and each has difference purpose and different symptoms of deficiency and excess. In addition, electrolytes (outside of extreme conditions) can theoretically be supplied entirely through diet, so supplementation is not always necessary. When you might run into problems is when you are doing a fat loss diet and quite limited in the amount and even scope of foods you can eat. Couple this with heavy exercise and your risk of minor deficiencies increases.

Supplement with Electrolytes when:

  • Salt Cravings
  • Cravings for electrolyte laden foods:
    • Dairy = Calcium
    • Salty snacks = potassium, calcium, iron, sodium
    • Chocolate/cocoa = magnesium)
  • Drinking water doesn't seem to quench thirst
  • Swelling and edema (Water retention)
It's part of my hydration therapy!

Electrolyte Sources

High Potassium

  • Tomato products
  • Bananas
  • Potatoes (Sweet or Regular)
  • Squash, Peppers
  • Beat greens
  • Lima beans
  • Dried fruits (Raisins, Prunes)
  • Fresh Fruit and Vegetables
  • Yogurt and Dairy Products.

High Magnesium

  • Pumpkin Seeds
  • Halibut
  • Cocoa powder
  • Nuts
  • Artichoke
  • Oat Bran
  • Beans
  • Cornmeal
  • Tomato paste

Electrolyte Drinks

Can I get H-DO from other beverages?

Not from soda! But these beverages are super rich in H-DO:

  • Tea (regular, decaf, herbal) - not sweetened!
  • Flavored water
  • Sparkling water
  • Electrolyte drinks
  • Milk
  • Any liquid - except high proof alcohol/diuretics.

We don't recommend taking in a lot of extra calories in the liquid form. Because of this, it's best to stick with plain water or tea, and add low calorie electrolytes and other flavors as needed. See our handy recipes below to spice up your water bottle.

So there you have it, the almighty H-DO!
