H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
This narrative review examined the available molecular-hydrogen literature. Rodents and humans are able to take a small amount of hydrogen by drinking hydrogen-rich water, but marked effects are observed. 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. Rodents and humans are able to take a small amount of hydrogen by drinking hydrogen-rich water, but marked effects are observed.
What the Researchers Studied
The authors reviewed molecular hydrogen as an emerging therapeutic medical gas for neurodegenerative and other diseases.
What Effects Did Molecular Hydrogen Have?
Effects of molecular hydrogen on various diseases have been documented for 63 disease models and human diseases in the past four and a half years. Rodents and humans are able to take a small amount of hydrogen by drinking hydrogen-rich water, but marked effects are observed.
Why These Findings Matter
The reviewed evidence adds support for molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential across the conditions, mechanisms, or outcomes examined.
How Strong Is This Evidence?
This is review or synthesis evidence (narrative review).
