H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
This narrative review examined the available evidence on molecular hydrogen. Of pertinence to the investigations of SARS-CoV-2 infection are the increasing reports that suggest that H₂ has therapeutic qualities in the treatment of chronic inflammatory lung conditions, and as such it is likely that this diatomic gas may alleviate the severe pulmonary symptoms of COVID-19. 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
