Hydrogen (as H2) Neutralizes Free Radicals                

What is Molecular Hydrogen?

Molecular Hydrogen, a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas molecule, is typically used in two ways. It can be infused into water (not dissolved) for drinking or administered through a cannula, allowing its unique properties to take effect in the way you prefer.  

Hydrogen has unique properties, such as the ability to donate electrons, which neutralizes active Oxygen and other harmful radicals. Additionally, its small size and lipid solubility make H2 a promising therapeutic agent for reaching the core of the cell and addressing issues there.

Due to its numerous applications, it is a valuable tool in health management.

Benefits and Properties of Molecular Hydrogen (H2)

Numerous studies conducted over the past several decades have demonstrated that electrolyzed hydrogen water exhibits antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, which extend to pain and hormonal management.

• Molecular Hydrogen (H2) is a stable, neutral molecule consisting of two hydrogen atoms. 
• It is the smallest and lightest molecule.
• Molecular Hydrogen is a reducing agent, or in other words, it donates electrons, reducing free radicals. 
• Hydrogen is a powerful therapeutic agent that selectively fights free radicals, thereby maintaining the body's balance.
• It also has an anti-allergic effect.

Why is Electrolyzed Hydrogen Water Better Than Plain Hydrogen Water?

EHW (electrolyzed hydrogen water) or ionized water contains platinum (Pt) clusters and/or Pt nanoparticles. Nanoparticles of platinum are released from platinum-coated electrodes during the electrolysis process. Pt nanoparticles have health benefits of their own, such as strengthening the immune system. So, even though EHW (electrolyzed hydrogen water) and HW (just plain hydrogen water) share common antioxidative benefits, EHW is preferable due to its benefits associated with Pt nanoparticles. This also applies to EHW vs H2 gas.

Why is Hydrogen Water Better Than Hydrogen Gas?

Another reason hydrogen water is considered superior to hydrogen gas is its safety. Consuming large quantities of hydrogen water in the form of EHW (electrolyzed hydrogen water) or HW (H2-infused water) has shown no adverse effects. Regardless of the amount, whether large or small (even diluted), hydrogen water has demonstrated a significant impact in studies.

Hydrogen water is easy to consume. You can carry it around in bottles after making it. Note: Hydrogen escapes from glass and plastic containers quickly, but aluminum or steel vacuum-sealed containers can retain hydrogen gas for extended periods.

Which is Faster and More Effective - Inhalation of H2 Gas or Oral Intake of Hydrogen-Rich Water (HW)?

Whether inhaled or administered orally in hydrogen-rich water, molecular Hydrogen is highly effective and fast-acting. It penetrates cell membranes and DNA. It can easily penetrate the blood-brain barrier (a unique characteristic). 

Inhaling H2 gas is effective and fast-acting, but so is drinking ionized water.

There have been no direct studies comparing the speed of absorption between the two methods of consuming Hydrogen (drinking vs inhaling), so any statement as to which is "fastest" would be just guesswork.

Safety of Inhalation vs Oral Intake of Hydrogen-Rich Water (HW)

Hydrogen water is entirely safe with no known side effects, while Hydrogen gas can be overdone. Any gas has the potential to be over-used. Therefore, for home use, a water ionizer is the preferable option.

Overuse of H2 gas (breathing the gas with a cannula) may disrupt the lungs' natural defenses. Hydrogen is mixed with Oxygen and makes water, which can also pose a risk of excessive humidity (or water) in the lungs if one exceeds what they can readily eliminate. So, if you do breathe hydrogen gas, just be reasonable about it and watch your body.

Hydrogen dissolved in water (to drink) is far safer and more practical for general public use. There are no known harmful effects. And if you take more than your body needs, it just evaporates and is never toxic. However, one thing to keep in mind is that when eating a meal with meat, it's usually a good idea not to drink at that time or to squeeze a bit of lemon into the water. After 20 minutes, however, the pH conflict is no longer present.
