2020 · Niu — Hydrogen Attenuates Allergic Inflammation by Reversing Energy Metabolic Pathway Switch

Scientific Reports

Hydrogen curbs allergic airway inflammation by resetting a disturbed energy metabolism of the immune cells.

2007 · Ohsawa — Hydrogen acts as a therapeutic antioxidant by selectively reducing cytotoxic oxygen radicals

Nature Medicine

Hydrogen (H₂) acts as a selective antioxidant: it specifically neutralizes the most aggressive free radical — the hydroxyl radical (•OH) — while leaving the beneficial, signaling oxygen species untouched.
