Molecular Hydrogen
Hydrogen gas is a powerful cell signaling molecule with potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Inhaling hydrogen gas with a hydrogen therapy machine allows this powerful molecule to rapidly disperse throughout the body and is being widely studied for the treatment of a variety of health conditions.
Hydrogen is all-natural. In fact, we make (actually the bacteria in our gut make) up to 10L of hydrogen gas per day in our colon. Hydrogen therapy is effective because we are already wired to recognize hydrogen at a cellular level.

Benefits of Hydrogen Therapy:
Supports a healthy inflammatory response for whole-body health*
Helps protect against everyday environmental stressors*
Ultra-small, neutrally-charged, and non-polar molecule easily travels through the body, supporting antioxidant activity and redox balance*
Modulates inflammation to support normal, healthy organ function*
Supports healthy energy levels and balances sympathetic nervous system activity*
Antioxidant:
Molecular Hydrogen neutralizes hydroxyl and peroxynitrite free radicals*
Helps protect DNA and cellular proteins from oxidative damage*
Activates Nrf2 pathway, enhancing the body’s production of important antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes*
Clinically shown to help protect against radiation, improving taste, appetite, and quality of life*
Helps protect cells of the immune and reproductive systems, heart, and gut against damage from radiation*
Immune:
Molecular Hydrogen balances excessive immune response to support normal organ function*
Clinically shown to help inhibit inflammation to support skin and joint health*
Supports healthy immune response and inhibits cellular damage by modulating inflammation and oxidative stress*
Supports improved outcomes in response to immune challenges*
Brain:
Molecular Hydrogen enhances alertness and improves test-taking speed and response accuracy after sleep deprivation*
Helps protect the brain in both acute and chronic challenges*
Supports function of neurons involved in production of dopamine, an important neurotransmitter for mood, motivation, and motor control*
Enhances mood, cognitive performance, and resilience in stressful settings*
Clinically shown to help reduce psychological distress and support a healthy mood*
Metabolic/Cardiovascular Health:
Molecular Hydrogen promotes healthy metabolic function*
Supports healthy body composition*
Supports already-healthy glucose metabolism*
Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range*
Supports healthy ApoB levels and reduces markers of cholesterol oxidation*
Supports healthy blood vessel function*
Liver:
Molecular Hydrogen supports liver metabolic health and reduces excessive liver fat*
Helps protect the liver from oxidative damage*
Promotes healthy liver glutathione and antioxidant enzyme levels*
Athletic performance:
Molecular Hydrogen enhances mitochondrial energy production and mitochondria biogenesis*
Improves muscle recovery after intense physical activity*
Enhances soft tissue recovery, improving joint range of motion*
Attenuates exercise-induced increases in lactic acid*
Enhances lung function, increasing VO2 max and time to exhaustion*
Supports sustained exertion, improving peak power output and reducing fatigue*
