H2 and Your Health
Molecular Hydrogen (H2)
Advantages of hydrogen
- Smallest element and lightest molecule [2]
- Ability to diffuse through cell membranes into intracellular fluids and into the internal cell structures (organelles) such as the mitochondria (where cell respiration and energy production occurs) as well as the cell nucleus (where the genetic material is contained)
- Ability to move through the blood-brain barrier
- Does not interfere with cell signaling processes
- Reacts with strong oxidants to protect against oxidative damage [1]
Benefits of hydrogen
- Scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) including the hydroxyl radical (OH), “the most potent oxidant known to mankind”
- Effects an increase in antioxidant enzymes
- Effects cell signaling mechanisms and protective factors
- Anti-inflammatory properties
- Effective in preventing cell death triggered by genetic damage [1]
There are primarily three properties that explain how molecular hydrogen works in the body.
- Molecular hydrogen easily diffuses into internal cell compartments, reducing toxic oxygen radicals and protecting RNA, DNA and proteins from oxidative damage.
- Molecular hydrogen also activates an increase of antioxidant enzymes as well as protective cell proteins.
- Molecular hydrogen appears to be able to alter cell signaling, cell metabolism and cell and gene expression as well as effect anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-cell death effects. [2]
Because of the properties of molecular hydrogen, more than 500 peer-reviewed articles demonstrate that molecular hydrogen has therapeutic potential in essentially all human organs as well as in 150 different disease models. [3]
