H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
This narrative review examined the available molecular-hydrogen literature. Advances in sequencing and other technologies have facilitated dramatic advances in the authors' knowledge of the types and number of organisms colonizing different areas of the body, and while the authors' knowledge of the roles played by the different bacteria, fungi, and archaea has increased dramatically, there remains much to uncover. The reviewed evidence adds support for molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential across the conditions, mechanisms, or outcomes examined.
What the Findings Mean
H2HUBB reviewed this publication as a synthesis of molecular-hydrogen research and summarizes the outcomes emphasized by the authors. Advances in sequencing and other technologies have facilitated dramatic advances in the authors' knowledge of the types and number of organisms colonizing different areas of the body, and while the authors' knowledge of the roles played by the different bacteria, fungi, and archaea has increased dramatically, there remains much to uncover.
