H4O(R) Inc. ("H4O") a pioneer in the development of Japanese
intellectual property rights with the first of our consumer beverages
(H4O -600mV is the first selective and potent antioxidant for wellness
drinks), pet drinking water (H4O PET Science Water) and medical
products (H4O HYDRO BATH) developed from a breakthrough hydrogen fuel
cell discovery. H4O announces it has been selected as a finalist for
the prestigious Red Herring 100 Asia 2007 awards. H4O will be
interviewed and present at the event in Hong Kong on August 29-31.
Published findings in Nature Medicine in 2007 showed that hydrogen
gas selectively protects against the most cytotoxic and reactive free
radicals. Hydrogen is the tiniest molecule; thus, it has the potential
to penetrate cells, tissues, blood vessels and even pass through the
blood brain barrier.
"The 200 finalists we selected from across 16 countries and
regions are all excellent contenders," said Joel Dreyfuss,
Editor-in-Chief of Red Herring. "They are exceptional companies who
thrive on innovation and strongly define the important role of
technology in Asia's economy and throughout the world."
"Being selected as a finalist is a tribute to the efforts of our
team and the trust of our customers and the commitment of our
investors, all of which has made our success possible," said Joseph
Baxter, H4O CBO. "This award is an important validation of our global
business potential as we prepare for an IPO later this year overseas
and expand our business globally in the search for EU and USA
partners," he added.
