What is Molecular Hydrogen?
Although the research is early, the 3000+ scientific studies including over 200 clinical studies suggest that H2 has therapeutic potential in over 200 different human and animal disease models, and in essentially every organ of the human body.
- Molecular hydrogen (H2) or diatomic hydrogen is a tasteless, odorless, flammable gas
- H2 reduces oxidative stress and improves redox homeostasis partly mediated via the Nrf2 pathway, which regulates levels of glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase, etc.
- H2, like other gaseous-signaling molecules (e.g. NO•, CO, H2S), modulates signal transduction, protein phosphorylation, and gene expression, which provides anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, and anti-apoptotic protective effects

Hydrogen: An Emerging Medical Gas
The potential of hydrogen as an emerging medical gas with MHI. Learn about its benefits, applications, and scientific insights in our comprehensive guide.
Calculating The Dose Of H2
If the concentration is given in ppm, first convert the ppm to mg/L. Then, multiply the volume of water (in liters) by the concentration (in mg/L) to calculate the amount of H2 which will be ingested (in mg). When considering ingested amounts, not only the concentration, but also the volume of ingested water must be considered. This is because it takes fewer milligrams of H2 to produce 1 ppm in a smaller amount of water than it does in a larger volume of water.
Hydrogen: Alternative Fuel To Alternative Medicine
Hydrogen gas (H2) has been extoled for its use in “green energy” as an alternative fuel, but biomedical research over the past decade suggests it also has therapeutic biological benefits.
Common Myths About Molecular Hydrogen: What the Science Actually Says
Molecular hydrogen has been shown to be safe at concentrations hundreds of times higher than what is being used for therapy.
