Normal water contains 150 ppm of deuterium;however DDW contains less amount of deuterium. The literaturereview indicated that this unique property of DDW may be usedas hepato protective, antioxidant, in the treatment of hepatorenaltoxicity, anti-inflammatory, colorectal cancer, hypertension,diabetes, metabolic disorders and obesity.
