Studies on molecular hydrogen have evolved tremendously from its humble beginnings and have continued to change throughout the years. Hydrogen is extremely unique since it has the capability to act at the cellular level. Hydrogen is qualified to cross the blood brain barrier, to enter the mitochondria, and even has...
How Important is Hydration?
Water is the universal solvent; it can exist as a solid, liquid or gas. It is necessary for the functions of life and for life to function. Water is the life-giving fluid that is always at the heart of creation. Its presence supports life, and its absence brings death. Water in liquid state is the...
Molecular Hydrogen in Water is Great for the Skin
Do you want healthy, elastic, wrinkle-free, and young looking skin? Who doesn't? Well bathing in hydrogen water not only reduces the Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) of skin, but also improves its elasticity. Moreover, treating bleached hair with hydrogen water gives an improvement in fluency and gloss.
Hydrogen is Emerging as a Medical Gas (Part 2)
Antioxidant-Like Effect It was initially suggested that the beneficial effect of hydrogen was due to an antioxidant as hydrogen selectively neutralized cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals 1 in vitro. However, although H2 reduces *OH radicals 2, as has been shown in various systems 1, 4, 5, it may not occur via direct...
Hydrogen is Emerging as a Medical Gas (Part 1)
Introduction Molecular hydrogen (i.e. H2 gas) is gaining significant attention from academic researchers, medical doctors, and physicians around the world for its recently reported therapeutic potential 1. One of the earliest publications on hydrogen as a medical gas was in 1975, by Dole and colleagues from Baylor University and Texas A&M 2....
Hydrogen Water helps with Sunburn
Researchers have found that bathing mice in hydrogen water reduced the level of skin damage, increased activity of the antioxidant glutathione peroxidase, lowered inflammatory cytokines, and prevented ultra-structure changes of the skin, suggesting hydrogen water can protect against UV-induced skin cell damage.
Hydrogen Inhalation in Hospitals
Clinical research for ‘hydrogen inhalation therapy’ in more than 10 hospitals across Japan has proved it can help patients who have suffered from cardiac arrests. The research, which is based on a random patient selection process, will continue to be conducted for a further two years with a total of...
