— WEEKLY EDITION · FRIDAY JUNE 5 —
Marathon runners, lactate, and 7,600 PPB.
Aoki et al. (2012, Medical Gas Research) — 10 marathon runners, H₂-rich water for 14 days of training. Protocol: 500 mL/day at 7,600 PPB minimum.
Results: −12% serum lactate at peak effort, significantly improved recovery at T+10 min and T+30 min post-exercise.
This study is still cited by 147 subsequent publications on sport and hydrogen. It made the 7,600 PPB threshold the minimum acceptable for measurable effect.
ELITE 9K's 9,000 PPB exceeds Aoki's minimum by 18% — methodological safety margin.

« We don't reference a study to tick a box. We reference it because its methodology still holds today. »
