Research studies
Below are several of 1000+ studies of the therapeutic benefits of hydrogen gas. Note that this does not mean that hydrogen gas can cure, heal or treat any of the following issues; however, based on emerging studies, the results are hopeful and more studies are still in progress with exciting findings. Click each finding to view various independent studies on the various topics.
Molecular hydrogen studies in general:
Diverse animal and human disease models
Improving quality of life after radiotherapy treatment
Alleviating free radical damage
Medical application of hydrogen gas in hematological issues
Improvements of moods, anxiety and autonomic nerve function
Cancer:
Growth suppression in cancer treatments (and alleviate side effects caused by chemotherapy)
Lung cancer (represses progression in lung cancer)
Colorectal cancer (improve prognosis via invigorating exhausted T cells)
Asthma:
Enhancement of alveolar in lungs (in mice)
Lung function improvement (in mice)
Gut:
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) (in mice)
T cells:
Improve cancer patients outcomes in general via T cells
Exercise:
Muscle performance and delay of muscle soreness
Other issues:
Allergies (allergic rhinitis, in mice)

Neurological/metabolic/inflammatory diseases
Obesity & metabolism (in mice)
Radiation-induced heart damage (in rats)
Rheumatoid Arthritis (in mice)
Indirect studies:
Autism (while there have been no direct studies linked to autism and H2 so far, some probable causes of autism may include altered ghrelin levels and damage to the blood brain barrier. H2 has shown to repair the blood-brain barrier and increase neuroprotective ghrelin secretion in mice)
Lupus (while no direct studies have been linked to lupus and H2 as yet, studies have indicated that T-cell regulation may reverse lupus. Numerous studies have shown that H2 positively affects T cells directly)
