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….

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…

Is Molecular Hydrogen Safe?

Molecular hydrogen (also known as H2, diatomic hydrogen, hydrogen gas, or dihydrogen) is a tasteless, odorless gas that can be used as a therapeutic treatment due to its antioxidant effects and ability to reduce oxidative stress. Whether consumed via inhalation, injection, drinking hydrogen water, or applying it topically, it is generally considered safe.  In fact,…

Why MHI doesn’t promote, sell, or endorse specific hydrogen products

One of our most asked questions is what product(s) we recommend. While this may seem like a very easy question to answer, we have taken the position of not recommending specific products for many reasons, which we will discuss here. We know this can be frustrating as a consumer, as you want an answer from…
