H2HUBB TAKEAWAY

This narrative review examined the available molecular-hydrogen literature. The authors concluded that hydrogen has good potential in radio-protection, with evidence that warrants greater research efforts in this field. The reviewed evidence supports molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential. Additional well-designed studies are needed to clarify clinical safety and effectiveness.
