Fertility is an important metric. Especially important for China in about 20 years. It is estimated that for every 1% of the GDP allocated to fertility, fertility would increase by 10%.
So, 10% of the GDP could raise fertility by 100%!

Why is fertility important? To understand this point, we need to take a quick look at Japan in the 50s and 60s, which led to Japan losing almost 3 decades of development, commonly referred to as the lost decades, leading eventually to missing the internet, software, and even the AI revolution. All of that was caused primarily by the fertility drops in 1950 and 1960, not just the 1990 financial bubble and the same fate is waiting for China in 15 to 20 years. That's my personal opinion.

Low fertility leads to a reversed aging pyramid, leading to overly conservative decisions, less risk-taking, and technological stagnation. Stability obsession is great for retirement, but does little to innovation.

It is important to quickly define fertility. Fertility is the total number of births per woman, while Fecundity is the actual physical ability to conceive. In 1947 the average children per woman number in Japan was about 4.5. By 1960 it was about 2. That's a very significant decline. One of the reasons for this was the 1948 passed law that allowed abortion based on economic hardship and we can see this happening today as well, young people are facing a squeeze of more knowledge, more output, more learning, while taking care of the older generations, laying the foundation for next generations, and then actually producing the next generation.

Fertility is not about more taxpayers. It is the single most important long-term metric of sustained innovation, economic power, and civilizational vitality.

More young users, means more young customers for domestic startups. More users means vastly better data to train AI and continuous product improvement etc., those companies then can expand internationally with a much stronger approach.

From 1950 onwards Japan grew financially and peaked in 1989 when the country accounted for 45% of the entire global stock market capitalization. At the same time, Japan's birth rate plummeted to a new record low of 1.57 children per woman which led eventually to Japan losing its economic dominance today and being overtaken by Germany and India. The US is at about 1.56 fertility today.

Now lets talk about fecundity, the biological capacity to conceive. For females, the ovarian reserve and oocyte quality are falling faster than expected from chronological aging alone, primarily because of environmental and metabolic factors such as endocrine disruptors, obesity, and oxidative stress. These have been strongly associated with accelerated ovarian aging.

For male fecundity, the sperm count overall dropped from 1973 to 2018 by about 62.3%. Post year 2000 we have an almost 3% decline per year.

The central biological mechanism repeatedly identified across most studies associated with this topic is chronic oxidative stress, especially hydroxyl radicals.

University-led animal and pilot human research (China, Iran, Japan, 2016–2025) shows hydrogen-rich water (HRW) and electrolyzed-reduced water (ERW) selectively neutralize cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals without disrupting beneficial signaling ROS or becoming a radical itself — making them uniquely suited to protect reproductive health and quality. Only hydrogen gas is capable of doing this, as far as we know today. No other molecule in the world has that function.

Fecundity improvement should not just be happening when you visit Lanserhof and use our products, it should be an integral biomarker, besides the overhyped and common biohack crew markers. On the macro level is fertility, on the micro is fecundity. Compromised gamete quality due to oxidative stress directly increases the mutational and epigenetic load transmitted to offspring. Impaired embryo development, birth defects, childhood cancers, and neurodevelopmental disorders are significantly elevated with compromised gamete quality of the parents.

In short: low fecundity does not merely mean fewer births, since unhealthy parents inherently understand what's going on, but the risk that the children who are born carry higher lifetime burdens of developmental, metabolic, neurological, and oncologic conditions.

Daily consumption of hydrogen-rich water or electrolyzed-reduced water selectively scavenges the most damaging hydroxyl radicals without interfering with beneficial signaling ROS.

By protecting gamete genomic integrity, HRW/ERW simultaneously:
Raises the probability of conception (fecundity),
Supports parental systemic resilience and longevity,
Reduces mutational/epigenetic load in offspring — enabling the rearing of biologically healthier children.

There is no other substance or method documented in published scientific literature (across all languages and universities) that matches the exact profile of daily-consumable hydrogen-rich water (HRW) or electrolyzed-reduced water (ERW).
