THE HYDROGEN LAB
Research has shown the benefits of molecular hydrogen being wide-spread, acting as a powerful antioxidant, supporting cognitive health and athletic performance, promoting healthy metabolism, and helping in the activation of the body's natural detoxification system.
Studies have show that hydrogen gas inhalation improves lung function and protects established airway inflammation which may be associated with the inhibition of oxidative stress process. Increasing evidence shows that molecular hydrogen administration provides many neuroprotective effects in central nervous system related diseases, such as ischemia-reperfusion injury, cerebral infarction, neonatal brain damage, radiation-induced damage, traumatic brain injury, cognitive impairments and Parkinson's

Antioxidant
Hydrogen Therapy has been scientifically proven to be a substantially beneficial antioxidant to help the bodies natural healing process.
Brain Health
Hydrogen Therapy has increasing evidence that breathing molecular hydrogen provides a neuroprotective effect in the central nervous system.
Athletic Performance
Hydrogen has shown to improve lactate, ventilatory, and perceptual response as well as have an antifatigue effect, particularly in endurance, strength, and repeated-sprint ability performance.
Metabolism
Hydrogen H(2) stimulated energy metabolism as measured by oxygen consumption. The results suggest the potential benefit of H(2) in improving obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.
Detoxification
Hydrogen Inhalation Therapy is mainly acclaimed for inflammation modulation and activating the body's natural detoxification process.

Hydrogen Inhalation therapy Benefits
Most people recoil when they first hear the words “inhaled hydrogen”. Images of the Hindenburg come to mind. Yeah, that was definitely too much of a good thing. Not good at all. Hydrogen therapy is known across the globe as beneficial when the concentration of the H2 gas is 10% or lower. When you read the rest of this article, you’ll see why we were eager to add this to our list of services in order to achieve even greater client outcomes.
Let me introduce you to Hydrogen Therapy…
What is H2 Therapy? The safe and effective inhalation of less than 10% Hydrogen gas is known as Hydrogen Therapy. Every cell in our body is surrounded by a membrane, a barrier designed to control what particles are allowed in and out of the cell. Hydrogen is so small, that it is able to diffuse freely across these membranes, slipping through the gaps to make its way into our cells. For this reason, hydrogen is able to cross other membranes too, like the blood-brain barrier. This is important because it’s INSIDE the cell where hydrogen performs its magic.
Hydrogen seems to work at the nuclear gene transcription level, telling our cells to start pumping out more powerful free radical scavengers, like glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase. These enzymes are like the special forces of rooting out harmful free radicals.
Specifically, hydrogen appears to target the Nrf2 pathway, a master pathway of antioxidant regulation. Interestingly, many pharmaceutical companies looking into drugs to battle neurodegenerative diseases are testing drugs that also work to target this same pathway.
Hydrogen also affects intracellular signaling, telling our cells to slow down on processes that create harmful free radicals and to downregulate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. While the exact cellular targets that cause these changes are still unknown, more research is being done all the time to get a better understanding of the exact pharmacodynamics. It’s precisely because of these effects at the cellular level, that hydrogen is able to have an impact on so many different biological processes and disease states. It’s like a skeleton key that unlocks your body’s master systems to maintain homeostasis and promote healthy immune function.
What types of conditions commonly respond well to H2 Therapy?
According to a 2018 study published in the Journal of Acute Medicine and Surgery, it suggests molecular hydrogen could enhance critical care medicine as well as chronic disease management, like metabolic syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurodegenerative diseases. Studies have also shown that hydrogen can benefit athletes. A 2015 review in the International Journal of Sports Medicine discusses that hydrogen supplementation can actually increase VO2 Max and increase time to exhaustion. Hydrogen gas shows some promise in treating dementia, Parkinson’s and boosts brain functions like memory and concentration, Dr. Trainor said, according to clinical research. H2 practitioners also report seeing improvements in clients with Lyme Disease and coinfections.

Is H2 Therapy safe?
Hydrogen gas is a powerful cell signaling molecule with potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Inhaling hydrogen gas with a hydrogen therapy machine allows this powerful molecule to rapidly disperse throughout your body, and is being widely studied for the treatment of a variety of health conditions. Inhaled hydrogen has been shown to have numerous health benefits, and has been shown to be generally safe in a large number of human and animal studies. In fact, hydrogen has been granted GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) status by the FDA, and in studies going back to the 1940s, no toxic effects of hydrogen consumption have ever been reported. Hydrogen is all-natural- in fact, we make (actually the bacteria in our gut make) up to 10L of hydrogen gas per day in our colon. This is one of the reasons that hydrogen therapy is so effective – we’re already wired to recognize it at a cellular level.
How long does H2 Therapy take? The benefits of inhaled hydrogen happen in just 30 minutes!
Can I do H2 Therapy during my PEMF appointment? YES! We encourage it. PEMF helps to open your cell membranes to let nutrients in and toxins out. When you let more Hydrogen into your cells, there are less detox reactions and improved antioxidant benefits.
Because the H2 molecules are so small, they cross the blood-brain barrier so that the brain benefits too!
