WHAT IS HYDROGEN?

​

Hydrogen is essential for life, and it is present in nearly all the molecules in living things, according to the Royal Society of Chemistry.

​

But pure hydrogen gas (H2) is scarce in Earth's atmosphere, and any hydrogen that actually enters the atmosphere rapidly escapes Earth's gravity, according to the Royal Society. 

 

On our planet, hydrogen occurs mainly in combination with oxygen and water, as well as in organic matter such as living plants, petroleum and coal, Los Alamos reports.

 

Molecular Hydrogen (H2), aka hydrogen gas, is a naturally occurring molecule consisting of two hydrogen atoms… the smallest molecule in the universe. 

 

Because it’s so tiny, when ingested, H2 can spread throughout every single one of your body's cells and tissues.

 

Although the research is still in early stages, H2 has been shown in over 1,000 scientific studies to have therapeutic effects in over 170 different human and animal disease models and in just about every organ of the human body.

 

H2 has been shown to protect the body from and powerfully reduce the damage of oxidative stress and inflammation, which are at the core of nearly every disease and illness. 

 

In other words, Hydrogen gas provides antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging effects, but because it’s so tiny, it can do so on the smallest level possible.

 

WHAT IS HYDROGEN WATER?

 

Hydrogen water, also called hydrogen-rich water, is simply normal water (H20) that contains dissolved hydrogen gas. Think of it like just like carbonated water, but instead of CO2 gas bubbles, it contains H2 bubbles.

 

We are using water as a delivery mechanism to get the H2 gas into the body, which provides the amazing benefits.

 

And although there aren’t enough studies yet to officially confirm this, more hydrogen does seem to equal more benefits. There is no way to get too much hydrogen - you just exhale it out - and in preliminary studies it seems that there is a clear dose-dependent effect (i.e. more hydrogen, greater effects).

​

HOW DOES HYDROGEN WORK?

​

According to the Molecular Hydrogen Institute,  Hydrogen acts like a "master signaling molecule" in the body.

 

Since it's so small, Hydrogen    can easily pass through any cell membrane in any part of the body...including passing through the blood-brain barrier. For example, Vitamin C weighs 176 g/mole while  Hydrogen only weighs 2 g/mole!

​

Hydrogen can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, but ONLY under conditions that are harmful to cells.

 

This is  incredibly important for exercise, because a little bit of damage to your cells is what helps to make you stronger. So hydrogen doesn't interfere with the health benefits of exercise, but can protect the body against excessive damage. 

​

Hydrogen helps the body make its own cell-protective chemicals, which naturally boosts the body's immune system.

​​

Hydrogen can even  stop the body from overproducing pro-inflammatory molecules, helping your body neutralize inflammation on multiple fronts.

​

In other words, Hydrogen helps keep your body in balance... which is the key to   doing just about EVERYTHING better.
