Hydrogen Gas
Hydrogen is a Selective Anti-oxidant: It only neutralizes the most cyto-toxic (cell destroying) free radicals such as the hydroxyl radical (OH), turning it into cellular water. Molecular Hydrogen has no effect on other, required, free radicals, such as Nitric Oxide and Hydrogen Peroxide which are very important to the body and immune system. Hydrogen is able to freely enter the cells and mitochondria, even reaching the cell nucleus.
The benefits of Hydrogen Gas
Hydrogen is a Selective Anti-oxidant: It only neutralizes the most cyto-toxic (cell destroying) free radicals such as the hydroxyl radical (OH), turning it into cellular water. Molecular Hydrogen has no effect on other, required, free radicals, such as Nitric Oxide and Hydrogen Peroxide which are very important to the body and immune system. Hydrogen is able to freely enter the cells and mitochondria, even reaching the cell nucleus. Hydrogen neutralizes hydroxyl radicals and scavenges peroxynitrite, converting them to water. These free radicals are known for causing arthritis pain and inflammation. No toxic byproduct vs. other anti-oxidants. Water is created as the reaction by-product, with nothing else for the body to eliminate.
To summarize, Molecular Hydrogen is
- Highly Bio-available
- Selective in its action
- No by-products to eliminate
- Helps maintain the body’s natural anti-oxidants – the Hydrogen does the work, so the body can concentrate on other battles
Use of Molecular Hydrogen allows greater natural levels of:
- Glutathione
- Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)
- Catalase
- Ghrelin
Hydrogen up-regulates good cell activity and down-regulates bad cell activity – but never to the point of upsetting cell homeostasis. It also regulates apoptosis (programmed cell death). Hydrogen provides a “cell modulating property” to the body, to help prevent the formation of free radicals in the first place. It “fixes” the cell and stops it from producing further damage. Hydrogen infused into water makes the water much more hydrating to the human body.
