H2 Apprentice

A Course to Get You Started

This course is perfect for the person who isn’t 100% sure they are ready for the Level 1 Certification Courses. This course is an important confidence booster that you can complete the Level 1 Certification courses without as big of an investment.

Learn About MHI and Molecular Hydrogen!

The H2 Apprentice course covers the very basics, nothing too complicated! Learn about the certification program and get your feet wet with some of the basics. The first two modules are taken from Course 101 of the MHI Certification. Then we jump into a few basic chemistry principles. Finally, we dive right into what hydrogen is, what hydrogen water is, and some of its benefits. This is a preliminary course to prepare you for the Level 1 Certification Courses in case you are feeling like you want to test it out first.

  • Gain confidence that you can learn the science behind hydrogen therapy.
  • Get a foundational understanding of the different types of hydrogen (that’s right, there’s more than one!)
  • Get a preview into one of the therapeutic benefits of hydrogen and learn why it works.

The Complete Guide to Molecular Hydrogen Therapy

What is Molecular Hydrogen? Molecular hydrogen is a gas. It is made of two hydrogen atoms. These atoms are bonded together with a nonpolar covalent bond, which means it is very stable. Hydrogen gas, in concentrations between about 5% and 78%, is highly explosive. However, the atmosphere contains only very small amounts of molecular hydrogen,…

Hydrogen: An Emerging Medical Gas

INTRODUCTION Molecular hydrogen (i.e. H2 gas) is gaining significant attention from academic researchers, medical doctors, and physicians around the world for its recently reported therapeutic potential [1]. One of the earliest publications on hydrogen as a medical gas was in 1975, by Dole and colleagues from Baylor University and Texas A&M [2]. They reported in the journal Science that…

Hydrogen: Alternative Fuel To Alternative Medicine

(Also published on the Foundation for Alternative and Integrative Medicine website, September 2018) 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.  For example, the preliminary 1000+ preclinical and clinical studies have reported hydrogen to have…

An Overview of Hydration and the Influence of Molecular Hydrogen

I. Introduction to Hydration and Its Importance Water, the universal solvent, is fundamental to life, playing a pivotal role in every biological process within our bodies [1]. Its unique properties make it indispensable for cellular function, biochemical reactions, and physiological processes [2]. Despite its ubiquity, the importance of proper hydration is often underestimated or misunderstood….
