H<\/span>ydrogen is the smallest and lightest atom in nature. It is one of the gases we breathe and is one of the three main constituents of our body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until a decade and a half ago, it was considered an \u2018inert\u2019 gas, i.e. one that had no health benefits. In 2007, Nature<\/em> magazine published the first scientific paper identifying molecular hydrogen<\/strong> (H2<\/sub>) as a \u2018therapeutic agent\u2019. Since then, research into its health benefits<\/strong> has increased exponentially. Today, after thousands of scientific publications, molecular hydrogen<\/strong> is considered an innovative therapy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is in the cells that the phenomena of health and its imbalances (diseases) are felt. All these imbalances are the result of dysregulations in a group or system of cells. And molecular hydrogen<\/strong> penetrates easily and directly into cells, entering their nucleus and mitochondria<\/strong> (energy centres).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So is molecular hydrogen the secret to a healthier, more balanced life?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Molecular Hydrogen?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Molecular hydrogen<\/strong> is in the gaseous state. It is a molecule made up of two hydrogen atoms – it is the smallest of the molecules that exist in nature. Although hydrogen is one of the three main constituents of living matter, in its gaseous form, as H2<\/sub><\/strong> (molecular hydrogen<\/strong>), it only exists in tiny concentrations in the air we breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes into contact with our bodies, whether through hydrogenated water, gas nebulisers, ampoules, creams or oils enriched with H2<\/sub><\/strong>, because it is such a small molecule, it penetrates freely into all cells and all cell organelles, i.e. the tiny \u2018organs\u2019 of cells. Thus, by penetrating all cellular structures, it has a generalised effect on all cellular functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life, at a cellular level, is made up of thousands of processes in which a multitude of substances are produced, transformed and degraded, one of the end results being the accumulation of waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free radicals<\/strong> (molecules with an unstable electrical charge), also known as ROS<\/strong> (Reactive Oxygen Species<\/em>), are one of the main detritus of our cellular metabolism and are one of the most toxic when produced in excess, constituting what is known as oxidative stress<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is at the root and chronicity of most diseases, along with inflammation. Inflammation is a natural immunological mechanism attempting to regulate the body, however, when inflammatory processes are perpetuated and stagnate, the sites where they occur begin to show symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of the main functions of molecular hydrogen<\/strong> (H2<\/sub><\/strong>) are precisely its effective action in combating oxidative stress<\/em> (anti-oxidant action)<\/strong> and inflammation (anti-inflammatory action)<\/strong>. This makes it a privileged agent for supporting the regulation of cellular functions<\/strong>, i.e. cellular health<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health Benefits of Molecular Hydrogen<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Knowing that oxidative stress<\/em> and long-term inflammation are at the root of all<\/u> chronic diseases<\/strong>, then any substance that can combat them will minimise and eventually help reverse all chronic pathologies – this is the profile of molecular hydrogen<\/strong>. However, molecular hydrogen has many more actions at a cellular level, so it has numerous health benefits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies on molecular hydrogen<\/strong> have shown that its main actions are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
