Hydrogen gas has been shown to act as an antioxidant and a therapeutic antioxidant for many diseases, and it is an odorless, non-toxic gas.

How Hydrogen Therapy Works
Since the publication of the first H2 paper in 2007, more than 38 different diseases, physiological states and clinical trials have been published in leading medical/biological journals, and clinical trials have been conducted by multiple groups.
Additionally, H2 has antioxidant effects as well as various anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties.
Hydrogen regulates various gene expression and protein phosphorylation, although the molecular mechanisms behind the remarkable effects of very small amounts of hydrogen remain elusive.
There are a variety of methods that can be used to administer hydrogen, the most common being dissolving molecular hydrogen tablets in water.
Water acts as a hydrogen carrier, and after ingestion, the hydrogen concentration increases within five to fifteen minutes.
Due to its small size, molecular hydrogen easily penetrates and diffuses across cell membranes.
The initial spike or spike of hydrogen and its activating effects on cells may last only an hour, but the protective effects of hydrogen last for a long time. Depending on the purpose and duration of administration, other hydrogen methods may also be used.
