About H2

The smallest molecule, hydrogen (H2), has the ability to penetrate deep into the body and help reduce oxidative stress.

Hydrogen (H2) is the smallest and lightest molecule in the universe and is widely found in nature. Due to its extremely small molecular size, hydrogen can permeate every part of the body, making it a subject of ongoing scientific research.

The Relationship Between Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Hydrogen

Our bodies naturally produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which play an important role in maintaining health. However, ROS can be categorized into:
○ Beneficial ROS (Good ROS) – Essential for immune function and cellular signaling.
× Harmful ROS (Bad ROS) – Excessive levels can cause oxidative damage, affecting overall health.

Causes of Increased Oxidative Stress

Hydrogen is believed to selectively neutralize harmful ROS while preserving beneficial ROS, helping to restore oxidized substances to their original state (a process known as reduction).

Unlike other antioxidants that oxidize themselves and accumulate in the body, hydrogen does not leave any toxic byproducts. Instead, it selectively reacts with harmful ROS and is safely excreted from the body as water.

In 2016, hydrogen gas inhalation therapy was officially approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

By incorporating hydrogen’s antioxidant properties into daily life, you may be able to reduce oxidative stress and promote a healthier, more youthful body.

Key Benefits of Hydrogen

Hydrogen has been studied for its potential benefits, including:

  • Oxidative stress reduction (removal of harmful reactive oxygen species)
  • Anti-inflammatory properties
  • Improved blood circulation
  • Enhanced cardiovascular function
  • Activation of the parasympathetic nervous system (promotes relaxation)
  • Anti-allergy effects
  • Immune system support
  • Potential anti-cancer properties
  • Fatigue recovery (reduces lactic acid buildup in muscles)
  • Wound healing promotion
  • Increased energy metabolism (supports ATP production in mitochondria)
  • Anti-aging benefits
  • Protection against complications of chronic kidney disease
  • Reduction of alcohol-induced liver cell damage
