What Effects Did Molecular Hydrogen Have?
In summary, HRW can modify gut microbiota, increase Bifidobacterium abundance, elevate microbial-derived IAA levels, and activate AhR, which could potentially alleviate inflammation in asthma. Hydrogen-rich water (HRW) is a beverage containing a high concentration of hydrogen that has been researched for its antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory properties in asthma.
