Our bodies are 62% hydrogen by volume. Hydrogen is the atomic "stem cell" of our universe. All matter, and the world we live in, and ultimately ourselves, are created from hydrogen! Being the smallest element means it can get anywhere in your body, including cell membranes, the blood-brain barrier, mitochondrial cells, and even into the nucleus. Since the discovery of molecular hydrogen (H 2 ) by Dr. Shigeo Ohta in 2007 with selective antioxidant properties, several studies have shown that H 2 is beneficial for as many as 170 human diseases. Research has focused on its role in reducing oxidative stress and redox homeostasis, mediated in part through the Nrf2 pathway, which regulates levels of glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and more. H2, along with other gas signaling molecules (e.g. NO*, CO, H2S), regulates signal transduction, protein phosphorylation and gene expression, thereby providing its anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-apoptotic protective effects. Here are some health and therapeutic benefits of molecular hydrogen:

Improve skin quality
reduce inflammation
reduce muscle fatigue
Promotes beneficial microbes in the gut
Slow down the aging process
Slow down muscle degeneration
Enhance mitochondrial function
Improve mood, anxiety and autonomic function

Numerous studies are published on the benefits of hydrogen as an antioxidant in preventing many diseases.
