Hydrogen molecules are almost perfect antioxidants
Mar 2,2021
Professor Seio Ota, an authority on hydrogen molecular medicine in Japan, once said, "Hydrogen molecules are almost perfect antioxidants." Professor Liu Canrong, an international free radical authority, also calls hydrogen molecules "the most important body care method with the highest CP value."
Hydrogen molecule is the smallest molecule in nature
"Free radicals" are the "source of all diseases" defined by the World Health Organization and one of the main reasons why the body needs antioxidants. It will attack the cells in our body, destroy mitochondria and DNA, and affect health. As mentioned in our previous article, the human body produces many free radicals in the body in order to produce energy, defend against invaders... and so on. For example, mitochondria, in the process of energy production, 2% of oxygen will be converted into superoxide anion radicals (O2‧-), and then reacted into hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or hydroxyl radicals (OH‧). As the smallest molecule in nature, hydrogen can pass through cell membranes and enter mitochondria, scavenging hydroxyl free radicals (OH‧) and other toxic free radicals. The cell damages mitochondria and DNA, which in turn affects health.

As the smallest molecule in nature, hydrogen gas can pass through cell membranes and enter mitochondria, scavenging hydroxyl free radicals and other toxic free radicals.
How big are other antioxidants? Vitamin C is 176 times that of hydrogen molecules, catechins are 290 times that of hydrogen molecules, and Q10 is 863 times that of hydrogen molecules. The small hydrogen molecules allow him to penetrate to every corner of the body and reach any place with free radicals!
Hydrogen molecules can selectively resist oxidation
Although free radicals are defined as the "source of all diseases" by the World Health Organization, there are some free radicals that are less toxic and are necessary in the human body and can act as signal transmitters in cells (such as O2‧-). Unlike other anti-oxidants, hydrogen molecules can "selectively" react with only highly toxic free radicals, but will not eliminate the free radicals needed in the body.
But what's the problem with the anti-oxidants of Tongsha? If the antioxidant power is too strong, it may destroy the body's redox balance and weaken the body's endogenous antioxidant capacity. Therefore, when choosing antioxidants, the "selective" antioxidant function is very important!
Hydrogen molecule is non-toxic and does not remain
Hydrogen is a source gas in our body. It exists in the human body and will not cause harm to the human body. In addition, hydrogen molecules are small and have the characteristics of gas, which can diffuse freely in the body. The hydrogen that has not reacted with free radicals will be naturally excreted from the body without any side effects on our body.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare approved hydrogen as a safe food additive in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Therefore, as long as the purity of hydrogen is high enough and the quality is good enough, it will not do any harm to the human body if it is used for health care!
