HISTORY

How Did We Get Here?

1520 – Hydrogen Discovered

Hydrogen was accidentally discovered by Philippus Aureolus Paracelsus while experimenting with acids and metals, producing a mysterious flammable gas as a byproduct.

1766 – Flammable Air

Henry Cavendish, a British scientist, officially identified hydrogen as a flammable air and demonstrated that it forms water upon combustion.

1783 – Water Forming

Antoine Lavoisier, known as the modern father of chemistry, named hydrogen based on Greek words meaning “water-forming” and proved that water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen.

1798 – In the News

One of the first scientific publications appeared mentioning hydrogen gas and its potential medicinal properties.

1888 – Hydrogen as Medicine

The Annals of Surgery published one of the earliest medical references linking hydrogen to healthcare. Dr. Nicolas Senn used hydrogen for intestinal medical applications.

1943 – Diving Deep

Swedish engineer Arne Zetterström successfully used hydrogen gas for deep-sea diving, demonstrating its safety and effectiveness under extreme pressure conditions.

1960s – Safety First

The U.S. Navy began using a hydrogen-based breathing mixture called Hydreliox. It allowed deeper dives with reduced decompression sickness and showed minimal cytotoxic effects even at very high concentrations.

1975 – Just a Glimpse

Researchers at Baylor University and Texas A&M published early scientific studies suggesting the potential role of molecular hydrogen in medicine.

2007 – New Fame

A landmark study published in Nature Medicine revealed that molecular hydrogen selectively reduces harmful hydroxyl radicals, bringing global scientific attention to hydrogen therapy.

2012 – Test Reagent

MiZ Company (Kanagawa, Japan) developed the world’s first hydrogen-rich water test reagent, allowing accurate and convenient measurement of dissolved hydrogen concentration.

2013 – U.S. Authority Established

The Molecular Hydrogen Institute (MHI) was established as a science-based nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing hydrogen research, education, and awareness.

2014 – FDA Approved

Hydrogen-rich water was approved by the U.S. FDA as a GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) supplement, allowing concentrations up to 2.14% by volume.

2016 – Hydrogen in Hospitals

Hydrogen inhalation was approved in Japan as an advanced medical treatment for Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome (PCAS), following large-scale human clinical trials across multiple hospitals.

2016 – Official Scientific Standards

The International Hydrogen Standards Association (IHSA) was established to define scientific standards for measuring hydrogen gas and to set therapeutic usage guidelines worldwide.


Hydrogen water

What is Hydrogen water?

Hydrogen water is water that contains dissolved molecular hydrogen (H₂). It is regular drinking water with extra hydrogen gas added to it.

What is Molecular Hydrogen?

Molecular Hydrogen is currently in it’s infancy in the field of medical research.

Hydrogen can have a tremendous impact as a new and innovative therapeutic tool where modern medicine cannot help with serious health problems (Huang et al., 2010).

According to recent scientific studies, Molecular Hydrogen can have a positive impact on many health problems.

Although the research is early, the 1000+ scientific articles suggest that H2 has therapeutic potential in over 170 different human and animal disease models, and essentially every organ of the human body.



Why is Molecular Hydrogen so unique?

It is the strongest antioxidant, and immediately liquidates free radicals and acidic metabolites (for example, lactic acid). So it protects human body cells.

Percentages based on mass:

  • ✔ Universe: 75%
  • ✔ Earth crust: 0.15 %
  • ✔ Ocean: 11%
  • ✔ Human body: 10%

How do we define free radicals?

Free radicals are extremely aggressive chemical compounds that attack the cells. In turn the cells die or alter their function causing illnesses.

How Do Free Radicals Form?

Free radicals are unstable molecules formed when oxygen undergoes chemical reactions in the body or when the body is exposed to harmful environmental and lifestyle factors. These molecules have an unpaired electron, making them highly reactive and capable of damaging healthy cells.

What are Molecular Hydrogen facts?

  • ✔ Stress and mental fatigue
  • ✔ Cigarette smoke and tobacco exposure
  • ✔ Alcohol consumption
  • ✔ Processed and junk food
  • ✔ Lack of sleep
  • ✔ Excessive physical exercise
  • ✔ Household chemicals and toxins
  • ✔ Viruses, bacteria, and infections
  • ✔ Mold and environmental pathogens
  • ✔ Air pollution
  • ✔ Radiation and UV rays from sunlight
  • ✔ Electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure

Why Are Free Radicals Harmful?

When free radicals accumulate in the body, they cause a condition known as oxidative stress. This can damage cells, proteins, and DNA, accelerate aging, weaken immunity, and negatively impact overall health.

The Role of Antioxidants

Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals by stabilizing their unpaired electrons. Molecular hydrogen is known as a selective antioxidant that may help reduce oxidative stress without interfering with normal cellular functions.

What are Molecular Hydrogen facts?

Molecular Hydrogen Facts:

  • ✔ Two hydrogen atoms, covalently bonded together (sharing electrons)
  • ✔ Neutral in charge
  • ✔ Lighter than air itself

Causes of Ageing and Disease

Causes of Ageing and illness?

To review the recent research results, we can summarize the following 3 points.
1. The basic cause of Aging and illness is due to cell damage.
2. The cause of cell damage is harmful oxygen free radicals.
3. 90 % of all diseases are caused by harmful oxygen free radicals as a major cause of Cell Damage.

→ Cell damage due to harmful oxygen free radicals is the major cause of aging and disease

* All diseases (90%) are affected by harmful oxygen free radicals. About 10% of them are caused by bacterial and viral diseases or infections.

* Germ diseases increase faster in the interior of the body when harmful oxygen free radicals increase – Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, 1991

What are harmful oxygen free radicals?

The breathing oxygen around 2 ~ 3% turns into oxygen free radical, which produces good active oxygen and Harmful oxygen free radical.

Breathe more than 20,000 times a day on average, more than 1 million liters of air is released through the respiration, and oxygen absorbed by double breathing is about 1500 liters, In other words, Our body produces oxygen free radical of 30 liters every day. (Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, 2008) –

There are 4 types of oxygen free radicals (Superoxide radical, Hydrogen peroxide, Singlet oxygen, Hydroxy radical)

1. The basic cause of Aging and illness is due to cell damage.
2. The cause of cell damage is harmful oxygen free radicals.
3. 90 % of all diseases are caused by harmful oxygen free radicals as a major cause of Cell Damage.
4. The hydroxyl radical is the most active one causing cell damages of those oxygen free radicals.
