Hydrogen therapy
Use of molecular hydrogen for therapeutic purposes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hydrogen therapy is the use of molecular hydrogen (H2) for therapeutic purposes. Hydrogen therapy’s efficacy has not been established; it may help treat neurological disorders by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, though optimal dosing and targets remain unclear.[1][2] H2 is being researched for age-related disease.[3]
Research
H₂ is proposed to reduce oxidative stress and modulate inflammatory and gene expression pathways, but definitive large-scale clinical evidence of therapeutic efficacy is limited.[2]
H₂ may reduce oxidative stress and influence aging-related pathways, with potential to prevent or treat age-related diseases, though clinical evidence is limited.[3]
It may offer protective benefits in spinal cord injury; clinical evidence is preliminary.[4]
It may protect the liver through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, though clinical evidence is still emerging.[5]
It may improve cardiometabolic health through antioxidant and regulatory effects, though clinical evidence is limited.[6]
