What is Molecular Hydrogen?
Molecular hydrogen (H₂) is the smallest and most bioavailable antioxidant in existence. It can penetrate deep into cells, cross the blood-brain barrier, and selectively neutralize harmful free radicals without disrupting beneficial processes.
It works on a cellular level to reduce oxidative stress—a major contributor to chronic disease and aging.
