Evaluation of the safety and potential lipid-lowering effects of oral hydrogen-rich coral calcium (HRCC) capsules in patients with metabolic syndrome: a prospective case series study.

Metabolic syndrome is characterized by a cluster-like occurrence of conditions such as hypertension, hyperglycaemia, elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol or triglycerides (TG) and high visceral fat. Metabolic syndrome is linked to the build-up of plaque within the artery, which leads to disorders of the circulatory, nervous and immune systems. A variety of treatments target the regulation of these conditions; nevertheless, they remain dominant risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), which affect 26.9% of the US population.

The effect of hydrogen-rich water interventions on lipid profiles in adults with overweight or obesity and associated metabolic disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

OBJECTIVE: Obesity-related dyslipidemia remains a significant health challenge, contributing to increased cardiovascular risk. Hydrogen-rich water (HRW) has been proposed as a potential adjunctive intervention due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of HRW on lipid profiles in adults with overweight or obesity.

The impact of hydrogen-rich water on liver enzyme levels in clinical populations: a comprehensive review and meta-analysis.

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effect of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on liver enzyme levels. Liver disease is a significant global health concern, greatly affecting mortality rates. Elevated levels of liver enzymes, such as ALT, AST, ALP, and GGT are early symptoms of liver disorders, and various approaches can help reduce them.

A Systematic Review of Molecular Hydrogen Therapy in Cancer Management.

Cancer remains a challenging target to cure, with present therapeutic methods unable to exhibit restorative outcomes without causing severe negative effects. Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been reported to be a promising adjunctive therapy for cancer treatment, having the capability to induce anti-proliferative, anti-oxidative, pro-apoptotic and anti-tumoural effects. This review summarises the findings from various articles on the mechanism, treatment outcomes, and overall effectiveness of H2 therapy on cancer management.

Can molecular hydrogen supplementation enhance physical performance in healthy adults? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Physical exertion during exercise often leads to increased oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, significantly affecting physical performance. Current strategies to mitigate these effects are limited by their effectiveness and potential side effects. Molecular hydrogen (H₂) has gained attention for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Hydrogen Water: Extra Healthy or a Hoax?—A Systematic Review

Hydrogen-rich water (HRW) has emerged as a novel approach in the field of health and wellness. It is believed to have therapeutic antioxidant properties that can neutralize harmful free radicals in the human body. It has also been shown to be beneficial in mitigating oxidative stress-induced damage through its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic pathways.

A comprehensive review of molecular hydrogen as a novel nutrition therapy in relieving oxidative stress and diseases: Mechanisms and perspectives.

Oxidative stress is responsible for the pathogenesis of many diseases, and antioxidants are commonly included in their treatment protocols. Over the past two decades, numerous biomedical reports have revealed the therapeutic benefits of molecular hydrogen (H) in relieving oxidation-related diseases. H has been found to have selective antioxidant properties against the most dangerous oxidants (hydroxyl radicals and peroxynitrite).

Can molecular hydrogen supplementation reduce exercise-induced oxidative stress in healthy adults? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Exercise-induced oxidative stress affects multiple neurophysiological processes, diminishing the exercise performance. Hydrogen (H) can selectively reduce excessive free radicals, but studies observed its "dual effects" on exercise-induced oxidative stress, that is, increasing or decreasing the oxidative stress. Therefore, we here conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to quantitatively assess the influence of H on exercise-induced oxidative stress in healthy adults.

Effects of molecular hydrogen supplementation on fatigue and aerobic capacity in healthy adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Fatigue is oftentimes induced by high-intensity exercise potentially the exceeded amount of reactive oxygen species, leading to diminished functions (e.g., aerobic capacity) and increased risk of injuries. Studies indicate that molecular hydrogen (H), with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, may be a promising strategy to alleviate fatigue and improve aerobic capacity. However, such effects have not been comprehensively characterized.

The Effects of Hydrogen-Rich Water on Blood Lipid Profiles in Clinical Populations: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Over the last two decades, a plethora of disease models and human studies have confirmed the beneficial effects of molecular hydrogen (H), a simple biotherapeutic gas. Recent small-scale studies evaluating the effects of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) on various metabolic conditions pointed to advantageous effects of HRW in regulating blood lipid profiles. However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, no systematic review and/or meta-analysis (SRMA) were published considering HRW consumption and lipid/lipoprotein status.
