Written by | published on

The complex neuronal clockwork in your brain needs water to run smoothly. But how much water does it need? If you have been reading SuppVersity articles for more than a week, you will know that a lack of water can easily turn an Einstein into a Neanderthal ( learn more ). Fully convincing experimental evidence for the efficacy and, more importantly, optimal amount(s) of water as a 'nootropic supplement' in non-dehydrated individuals, as it has just been provided by a recent study from the  University of East London  and the  University of Westminster  (Edmonds. 2016), however, has not been available... Not available, yet?! That is, obviously, before Edmonds and colleagues set out to investigate the dose-response characteristics of the effects of acute water supplementation on cognitive performance and mood.

Hydrogen-Rich (H+) Water Helps Athletes Perform, Improves Our Health & Prolongs Our Lives, Really? - True or False

Written by | published on

Is H+ rich water more effective than other 'snake oil versions' of water? Recently, Raymond asked on the SuppVersity  Facebook page whether I could "please do something on the subject of hydrogen supplementation via water or gas" - and that's what I plan to do today. As Raymond rightly points out, the use of H+ water "seems to be a big deal in longevity circles, and perhaps it holds promise for 'our crowd' as well". The obvious question is: rightly so? Or, more specifically, is there credible evidence that H+ water has ergogenic and health-promoting effects in gymrats, athletes, and Mr. & Mrs. Average Joe. If you want to make your water "ergogenic", use it to boil a fresh coffee ;-) Remember: With Coffee More Won't Help More Albuterol + Caffeine Can Get You Ripped Three Cups of Coffee Keep Insulin At Bay Caffeine's Effect on Testosterone, Estrogen & SHBG The Coffee³ Ad- vantage: Fat loss, Appetit...

Water Before Meals Doubles Weight Loss Success - Study Said to Confirm Diet Myth Gets Falsely Overgeneralized

Written by | published on

Could this large glass of water really be the "diet game changer" some mainstream media make it look like? Or, are we - once again - dealing with the abuse of science to attract readers by propagating dubious dieting myths? The advice to "drink a glass of water before every meal" is about as old as human efforts to lose weight. Yet despite the fact that an increase in daily water consumption is widely advocated as a useful tool to aid weight loss and even included in popular weight loss programs like Weight Watchers , there is, according to the latest systematic review of the association between water consumption and body weight,  little evidence to support this practice outside of energetically restricted interventions (Muckelbauer. 2013). In other words: While we do have evidence that replacing caloric beverages with water/diet beverages works (Tate. 2012), we have little evidence that simply drinking more will accelerate weight loss and almost no evidence...

Pancakes al cacao & your gut: Bad grains and good cacao? There is an increasing amount of interesting scientific publications on the role of the gut microbiome in health and disease. Unfortunately, the evidence on what exactly influences the number and types of bacteria in our gut in a beneficial way and even what exactly a "beneficial way" actually is, is yet largely unknown.
