Scientific Advisory Board (SAB)

The Scientific Advisory Board for Drink HRW, overseeing all of our sub-brands: Drink HRW, TRUE | PERFORMANCE, and TRUE | LONGEVITY was designed to hold us accountable and work with us in our mission to release only the highest quality, evidence-backed supplements and cosmetics.

As our company grows, launching more products with the same standards as our current line remains our goal. Because of this, we set about designing a system in which we could be confident in what we release. Throughout our product ideation stages, our SAB reviews individual ingredients to determine if they are solely “hype”, or, if they have solid evidence validating their addition. Additionally, we review different ingredient sources and compounds delivering the active component, including “branded” versions as compared to generic. We do this in order to ensure if we are adding “pricier” ingredients, it is because they actually work, and not simply because they are advertised with sleek marketing. Finally, we openly debate all potential ingredients, discussing potential synergy, or detriments, to adding various ingredients together from a biochemistry perspective. 

Once we agree on a final formulation, we move to production. Importantly, we have agreed with our Scientific Advisors that we can only utilize their endorsement for products they sign off on.

We have designed this system to hold ourselves accountable and ensure that we are always held accountable, no matter how large we grow.

DR. SERGEJ M. OSTOJIC

Sergej Ostojic is a senior biomedical scientist with a broad research background in medicine, applied physiology, and nutrition. He is a board-certified M.D. and holds a Ph.D in Medical Sciences. Dr. Ostojic currently works as a full professor of biomedical sciences at the University of Novi Sad, and an adjunct professor at the University of Belgrade School of Medicine. His research expertise and experience include pre-clinical and clinical development of mitochondria-related nutraceuticals and nutritional supplements, tissue-specific metabolic assessment and translation, and work physiology.
He has authored more than 200 scientific papers, 30 book chapters and books, and 5 patent applications, and has been the recipient of internationally competitive research scholarships including a WADA Scientific Research Grant, the NSCA International Award, research grants from the World Health Organization and European Commission, and many industrial endowments.

“I decided to join the SAB after the invitation of Mr. Alex Tarnava who supported my research on hydrogen for several years. I like the concept he practices in funding hydrogen research, being supportive but neutral in terms of study designs, data interpretation and publishing our findings, which is a way any research-driven company/hadman should act. Such an SAB is much-needed not just to objectively and independently back up the company, but to share balanced, unbiased and high-quality scientific information with the public. Hydrogen research is still a relatively new area of scientific endeavor, and an optimal mix between science and business is much needed to put hydrogen on the map of effective and safe agents in experimental and clinical biomedicine. 
Rejuvenation hydrogen-rich tablets appear to be highly effective in various research studies we conducted in the past. From improving biomarkers of aging to performance enhancement and metabolic health upgrade, Rejuvenation could be recommended as an innovative product that attenuates oxidative stress-related disorders, and positively affects various cellular pathways, including bioenergetics, gene expression, and inflammation.”

DR. ARIANNA FERRINI

Arianna Ferrini is a postdoctoral research fellow at University College London (UK) and a freelance scientific writer and illustrator. She holds a Ph.D. in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine from Imperial College London and an MSc in Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology from the University of Florence (Italy).

I have joined the Scientific Advisory Board because, being a biomedical scientist, I was interested in the science behind the Drink HRW products and happy to see the research that goes into making them. In particular, I am interested in the clinically relevant results in terms of cardiovascular and metabolic health. Having used Drink HRW Rejuvenation H2 tablets and the Boost pre-workout supplements myself, I can already see a difference in the energy levels and the sleep quality after a couple of weeks. I have already recommended it to family and friends!

DR. NATTHA WANNISSORN

Dr. Nattha Wannissorn, PhD, is a scientist who makes health research accessible to the general public through health and wellness blogs. She received her PhD in Molecular Genetics from the University of Toronto and BA in Molecular & Computational Biology from the University of Pennsylvania. She is also a biohacker, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Registered Holistic Nutritionist, and Fitness Coach with a focus on women’s health and over 5 years of client experience. Her 14 years in academia focused on the functional genomics of cancer. She has co-authored publications in leading journals such as Cell and Cell Host & Microbes. Currently, she is the CEO of Wellness Medical Writer, the science communication company for the health and wellness industry. Her work has reached and improved the health of over 3 million readers.

“I joined the Scientific Advisory Board because I’m impressed with the company’s scientific integrity, which is uncommon in this industry. My mission is to improve the health industry’s overall scientific integrity and literacy, which aligns well with DrinkHRW’s.
Since I struggle with chronic pain and histamine intolerance, the hydrogen water tablets have been my lifesaver. It allows me to continue to function as a traveler, fitness enthusiast, and hard-charging CEO in less than ideal circumstances without any side effects. I also like the BOOST which has given me many great workouts and personal records.
Most importantly, I’m impressed with and excited about the amount of scientific evidence around hydrogen and believe that it has so much potential to help so many people.”

MSc/RD Jenna Sager

Jenna Sager is an entrepreneur, biohacker and private practice Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who holds an M.S. in Nutrition and Metabolism from Boston University School of Medicine.

“I joined the Scientific Advisory Board because I was impressed with the integrity and science behind this company and its products. The company’s mission for advancing truth is in alignment with mine. The amount of clinical trials corroborating the efficacy and safety of these products with respect to various outcomes are, to my knowledge, unprecedented and continue to rapidly grow. There is no manipulation of study design or data by the company and the studies get published regardless of their findings. The formulation of these products is held to the highest level of scrutiny, which is important for an industry with so many dubious products and unfounded claims. The hydrogen water tablets and AGEless Defense are my personal favorites. The hydrogen water is a life-saver for days when I didn’t get enough sleep and the AGEless Defense™ I like to use as a buffer when I eat something that isn’t optimal for my health.”
