H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
This narrative review examined the available molecular-hydrogen literature. 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. 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.
