The Health Benefits of Molecular Hydrogen

Molecular Hydrogen: For Optimal Health and Well-being

Introduction
Molecular hydrogen, the smallest element on the periodic table, offers a plethora of health benefits. Researchers consider it a "master regulator" due to its ability to harmonize various processes within the human body. Thanks to its small size and bioavailability, molecular hydrogen can easily cross cell membranes, the blood-brain barrier, and penetrate into organelles such as mitochondria and nuclei, reaching parts of the cell that other antioxidants cannot access.



The Health Benefits of Molecular Hydrogen

Combating Oxidative Stress and Inflammation
The unhealthy food, chemical products, and polluted air that we consume contribute to chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, which are the root causes of numerous ailments. Molecular hydrogen has been shown to attenuate oxidative stress by up to 45%, helping to address these issues.


What is Molecular Hydrogen?
Molecular hydrogen gas is produced through the electrolysis of water, generating a gaseous mixture of molecular hydrogen and molecular oxygen in a 2:1 ratio (66% and 33% respectively). It is a non-invasive, painless, and systemic adjunctive therapy administered via a nasal cannula or mask, allowing the gas mixture to directly enter the respiratory system.

As a gaseous signaling molecule (GSM), molecular hydrogen demonstrates great potential in healthcare for preventing cell injury and providing other therapeutic benefits, thanks to its ability to diffuse across cell membranes and into all tissues, cells, and organs.

The Antioxidant Properties of Molecular Hydrogen
Our bodies are constantly exposed to various insults, such as free radicals, allergens, stress, viruses, bacteria, and pollution. Nearly 90% of modern-day ailments are associated with free radicals, with the hydroxyl radical being the most toxic and powerful. This radical plays a significant role in over 70 diseases, including cancer, blood vessel diseases, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Molecular hydrogen, when used as a medicinal compound, can significantly reduce the concentration of hydroxyl radicals in our cells, thus dramatically decreasing the potential for disease. Additionally, hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant, neutralizing harmful free radicals while sparing beneficial ones, such as hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide. This selective capability helps create homeostatic balance within cells.

Molecular Hydrogen and Metabolic Diseases
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a role in diseases such as diabetes mellitus, as ROS and other inflammatory processes damage mitochondrial function, leading to diabetic sequelae. Studies have shown that hydrogen reduces oxidative stress in the liver, resulting in decreased fat retention and improved blood sugar levels.

Hydrogen and Autoimmune Disease
Clinical studies have shown that patients with autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis experienced significant reductions in inflammatory biomarkers and even complete remission of symptoms after using hydrogen as a medicinal application.

Hydrogen in Beauty and Cancer Research
The cosmetic industry has harnessed the skin-improving effects of hydrogen, while cancer research has found that hydrogen therapy can suppress tumor growth and reduce the side effects of cytostatic therapies and radiation.

Hydrogen as a Preventative Tool
Hydrogen's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects can support longevity and promote overall health. Its antioxidative properties derive from its ability to neutralize free radicals directly.

1. Hydrogen acts as an antioxidant
Hydrogen gas acts as powerful antioxidant and has been shown to protect cells from even the most cytotoxic reactive oxygen species. Specifically, inhalation of H2 gas has been shown to suppress brain injuries through these effects.

2. Hydrogen supports your body’s antioxidant system
H2 supports your body’s natural antioxidant system by signaling pathways associated with the prevention of disease.

3. Hydrogen is anti-inflammatory
In animal studies, hydrogen gas has been shown to be extremely anti-inflammatory. While we could use more studies on humans to back these initial findings, research on patients with rheumatoid arthritis are extremely promising.

4. Hydrogen may help reduce pain
As mentioned above, the effects of hydrogen on patients with rheumatoid arthritis have shown a significant decrease in pain. This pain relief is due to the reduction in oxidative stress caused by the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of hydrogen gas.

5. Hydrogen protects your muscles
In an animal study, hydrogen water prevented muscle wasting in mice that had muscular dystrophy. Hydrogen also boosted the natural production of glutathione which is often called our master antioxidant. The effects of hydrogen on athletes and exercise is a promising area worth keeping your eye on.

6. Hydrogen can speed up sport-related recovery
Hydrogen water has been shown to reduce muscle fatigue in elite athletes after intense exercise. This is because it reduced lactic acid buildup, which improved muscle function.

7. Hydrogen can help balance the pH of the blood
Hydrogen water has also been shown to have an alkalizing effect in the blood. This is especially beneficial to people who are extremely physically active because extreme exercise can cause metabolic acidosis.

8. Hydrogen affects cell modulation
Hydrogen appears to have effects in the cells that help them maintain homeostasis and healthy modulation. Through healthy gene expression and cellular metabolism, hydrogen positively affects cellular processes on many different levels.

9. Hydrogen is neuroprotective
Hydrogen has been shown to reduce damage to the brain in Parkinson’s patients. It’s also shown to have generally neuroprotective properties due to its ability to fight oxidative stress.

10. Hydrogen is protective against metabolic conditions
Studies have found that hydrogen increases insulin sensitivity, decreases blood sugar, and blood cholesterol levels. These effects make hydrogen up potential therapy for fighting obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.

11. Hydrogen boosts your mitochondria
Your mitochondria are the powerhouse of your cells, which makes them directly responsible for your energy levels day to day. Clinical studies on hydrogen-rich water have found that it improves mitochondrial function.

12. Hydrogen protects against DNA damage
Hydrogen gas has been shown to significantly protect DNA against radiation damage. It does so by scavenging hydroxyl radical formation.

13. Hydrogen can calm allergic reactions
With allergies on the rise across the world, this is an interesting observation. Studies have found that in animals, hydrogen can sometimes calm allergic reactions. The way hydrogen appears to calm allergic reactions is by modulating cell processes and restoring homeostasis. It seems that hydrogen restores healthy processes throughout the body, which makes it a good idea for just about everyone to consider taking.

14. Hydrogen is protective against cancer
Hydrogen appears to be protective against cancer. At this point, it probably doesn’t surprise you since you know how hydrogen can protect against oxidative stress and damage to the DNA. Hydrogen has also been observed to help reduce side effects of chemotherapy in some patients.

15. Hydrogen protects organs
Hydrogen has been observed to be protective against damage to numerous organs including the brain, pancreas, heart, liver, eyes, and lungs. This is believed to be because of hydrogen’s anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and oxidative stress fighting effects.

Conclusion.
Molecular hydrogen has been proven to be a valuable tool for treating acute and chronic diseases, improving physical performance, slowing the aging process, and promoting health. It is essential to manage chronic diseases with natural therapies like hydrogen before reaching the "biological cut" - the point at which a disease becomes chronic. No negative side effects of hydrogen have been recorded.
