HYDROGEN: THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL IN WELLNESS AND MEDICINE
Hydrogen is an effective antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective agent that selectively scavenges potent oxidants such as •OH and peroxynitrite in cells without affecting redox homeostasis. Key features of hydrogen as a therapeutic agent include selective reaction with highly reactive ROS, rapid diffusion into cells and onset of action, inert characteristics at body temperature in mammalian cells, an almost adverse event-free tolerability profile, the ability to administer therapy in a variety of ways to best suit the patient or indication being treated, and low cost. The non-specific nature of the effects of hydrogen mean that it has therapeutic potential across a wide range of medical applications, as has been shown by a good volume of preclinical data and a growing body of clinical evidence.
