Learn About H2 As An Antioxidant And Antiinflammatory Agent

Some people may not have a positive opinion about consuming molecular hydrogen for their overall well-being. They may be on the fence whether the consumption of this novel therapeutic agent is really worthwhile. Perhaps you are among this number! So let’s talk!

Consuming hydrogen-rich water is not only beneficial to the human body, it is also perfectly safe. Hence, a person can invest in a hydrogen generation kit and enjoy the benefits of this novel therapeutic agent in the comfort of their home.

In today’s blog, we will look at the two significant properties of molecular hydrogen which make it a truly popular therapeutic agent. Let’s learn more about H2 as an antioxidant and antiinflammatory product.

Hydrogen is a colourless, tasteless, and odourless gas. It is consumed by inhaling gaseous hydrogen, drinking hydrogen-rich water, taking in hydrogen saline, or even taking a hydrogen bath. Out of these methods of consumption, inhaling molecular hydrogen and drinking hydrogen rich water are highly beneficial and effective.

So, on that note, let’s look at the 2 major properties of hydrogen.

Molecular Hydrogen as an Antioxidant Product^{[1, 2, 3]}

First of all, before understanding the antioxidant property we need to understand what oxidative stress is and why it is bad for the human body.

Oxidative stress is part of the pathogenesis of many diseases including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Oxidative stress occurs when the number of free radicals in the body exceeds the number of antioxidants. This begs the question, what are free radicals and why are they so dangerous to one’s health?

Free radicals are molecules, atoms, or ions, with unpaired electrons. These unpaired electrons make the species highly chemically reactive and they alter the chemical structure of DNA, lipids, and proteins. Free radicals are viewed as toxic by-products, though some of them do play an important role. Hence, the selective elimination of certain free radicals is needed, not the mass wipeout of the same! Molecular hydrogen acts as that selective scavenger of some of the most powerful free radicals.

The most powerful antioxidant is the hydroxyl radical (OH-) which causes damage to lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. This free radical is selectively scavenged by molecular hydrogen. Molecular hydrogen also scavenges peroxynitrite (ONOO-), another dangerous antioxidant in the human body.

Molecular hydrogen’s powerful selective and antioxidant properties make it a useful product for consumption that can promote well-being and reduce oxidative stress in the body.
As you can see oxidative stress is combated by molecular hydrogen, helping the various cells of the body stay unharmed. So, why wouldn’t you consume this product?

Molecular Hydrogen as an Anti Inflammatory Product ^[1]

When the body’s immune system responds to any irritant it is known as inflammation.

Different immune system cells are involved in the inflammatory process. Molecular hydrogen inhibits oxidative stress-induced inflammatory tissue injury by down regulation of pro-inflammatory and inflammatory cytokines.

There are many chronic inflammatory diseases like diabetes, arthritis, etc. Consuming molecular hydrogen can certainly help manage and combat these diseases.

In several animal models molecular hydrogen can decrease inflammation. Hence, if you suffer from certain inflammatory diseases, you can consume molecular hydrogen effectively. Inflammation is also caused due to oxidative stress and we have already read about the role molecular hydrogen plays in managing oxidative stress.

Now that we have seen H2 as an antioxidant and antiinflammatory agent, you may be curious about how to consume this product. Read on below.
