Hydrogen Therapy (H₂)
Refers primarily to the use of molecular hydrogen (H₂), which is applied for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytoprotective properties.
It is administered through inhalation of hydrogen gas or by drinking hydrogen-rich water.
Mechanism of Action
Molecular hydrogen has the ability to neutralize reactive oxygen species (free radicals), thereby protecting DNA and cells from oxidative stress and inflammation.
Benefits
Antioxidant action: Combats harmful free radicals.
Anti-inflammatory action: Reduces inflammation in the body.
Neuroprotective action: Penetrates the blood–brain barrier and protects the brain.
Anti-aging action: Supports tissue regeneration and helps protect the skin from aging.
