Product Description
One Molecule. Hundreds Of Benefits. Over 2000 Scientific Studies.
It’s not too good to be true—Molecular Hydrogen is the energy-boosting, brain-enhancing, performance-improving, pro-longevity antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-wrinkle supplement only researchers have heard of.
Say Hello To Hydrogen
The molecular answer to modern disease. You know the numbers… Every 33 seconds, someone in the United States dies from cardiovascular disease [1]. Every 52 seconds, someone dies from cancer [2].
Statistically, one out of every three of your friends has metabolic syndrome and a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke [3].
The solution?
One of the smallest compounds on Earth.
Over 2000 studies prove molecular hydrogen’s powerful ability to support the underlying causes of modern disease.
Benefit From...
Research shows they fight aging, support our immune system, and help us avoid heart disease and cancer (13).
But they also have a dark side.
Why?
Your body does best with balance. The right amount of stress—even oxidative stress—is a crucial trigger for powerful endogenous antioxidants like superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase.
Most supplemental antioxidants disturb this delicate balance.
But Molecular Hydrogen isn't most antioxidants.
It acts as a master antioxidant by stimulating your body’s own internal defense system—your best source of optimized energy, performance, and recovery [14,15].
Molecular Hydrogen Promotes Health In Three Primary Ways:
Hydrogen’s ability to easily cross biological membranes, such as the double membrane surrounding mitochondria, allows easy entrance and quick action for those experiencing the increase in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species often associated with fatigue from disease states, stress, or high-intensity exercise [20].
In both animal and human studies, hydrogen has been shown to improve energy thanks to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and even gene-level effects. It works within the mitochondria to quell hydroxyl radicals and block specific inflammatory pathways, such as the NLRP3 inflammasome.
In a study of middle-aged, overweight women, four weeks of hydrogen supplementation led to decreases in body fat percentage, serum triglycerides, and fasting serum insulin, likely due to hydrogen’s influence on obesity-associated mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation.
The participants also experienced an increase in the endogenous antioxidant CoQ10 along with an improved lactate-to-pyruvate ratio, indicating positive mitochondrial outcomes [23].
Disease severity, central nervous system infiltration, and demyelination were reduced when hydrogen was administered after the onset of the disease [24].
Supplemental hydrogen’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, specifically its ability to scavenge hydroxyl radicals, make it a promising therapy for those with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
After 4 weeks of drinking hydrogen-enriched water, patients with RA had lower levels of oxidative marker 8-OHdG and decreased disease activity.
Those with early RA achieved disease remission (25,26).
The authors report that the average cognitive enhancement was significant enough for the group to progress from mild dementia at baseline to normal cognition at follow-up [27].
A second joint study examined memory-impaired animals and humans with mild cognitive decline. In mice, hydrogen water reduced oxidative stress, suppressed memory impairment and neurodegeneration, and even extended lifespan.
After one year of hydrogen water, human participants with the APOE4 genotype, a known risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, scored significantly better on the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale, while the control group received slightly worse scores [28].
The authors speculate that the potent antioxidant action of hydrogen water was responsible for mitigating reactive oxygen species damage that leads to skin aging [30].
Hydrogen also shows promise for those healing from skin damage due to radiation. In a recent animal study, radiation-induced skin wounds healed more quickly in the group sprayed with hydrogen water, likely due to lowered levels of malondialdehyde, a marker of oxidative stress, and IL-6, an inflammatory marker. Further, the wounds treated with hydrogen water had increased superoxide dismutase activity, an endogenous antioxidant enzyme [31].
Additionally, hydrogen encourages recovery from soft tissue injuries [35].
Hydrogen’s unique role as a supporter of endogenous antioxidant production makes it particularly valuable to active people who want to achieve optimal health and improved performance. Research shows it balances exercise-induced oxidative stress and may even act as an alkalinizing agent capable of combating fatigue during high-intensity exercise [36].
According to the Hydrogen Hypothesis, hydrogen is the link between evolution and the development of our primary energy producers—mitochondria [37].
Billions of years ago, we evolved with a need for hydrogen. That requirement was fulfilled by the microscopic ancestors of present-day mitochondria.
How does evolution affect you today?
Research shows that molecular hydrogen has a profound positive impact on metabolism and mitochondrial health.
