H2HUBB TAKEAWAY

This narrative review examined the available evidence on molecular hydrogen. The reviewed evidence supports molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential. Additional well-designed studies are needed to clarify clinical safety and effectiveness.

What the Review Examined

A "philosophical molecule," hydrogen may overcome senescence and intractable diseases.

Main Findings Across the Literature

It is one and only one "molecular hydrogen" (H₂) that can both penetrate into the mitochondria and scavenge the •OH. The H₂ in the body can function in disease prevention and recovery. H₂ gas is explosive so that a safe hydrogen inhaler has to be developed for home use.

Authors’ Conclusion

A distinct authors’ conclusion was not available in the source material reviewed by H2HUBB.
