The Mitochondria are the Powerhouse of cells, generating ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for muscle contractions during exercise. ROS (oxidative stress) can impair mitochondrial function, leading to fatigue and reduced performance.

By reducing oxidative damage, molecular hydrogen (H₂) supports mitochondrial efficiency, enhancing ATP production. Additionally, H₂ has been shown to stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis, increasing the number of mitochondria in cells over time.

Hydrogen (H₂) is 88x smaller than Vitamin C

In fact, H₂ is the lightest (smallest) molecule and H₂ is a gas (not a liquid or solid). Think about it, our cells, our stomach, and our brain are protected by porous membranes. Like little coffee filters, membranes allow tiny H₂ molecules to diffuse much more efficiently than vitamins or any plant-based ingredient.

The result, H₂ has the highest Bio-availability and Bio-accessibility. We support a plant-based diet, but hydrogen can make it healthier.

This is what Chat GTP thinks: Molecular hydrogen (H₂) diffuses through the blood-brain-barrier, and into cells & mitochondria due to its extremely small size and neutral charge....making H₂ extremely efficient at neutralizing excessive ROS. This helps maintain redox balance and reduces oxidative damage to lipids, proteins, and DNA.

Hydrogen acts as a signaling molecule, influencing pathways involved in energy metabolism and stress resistance from exercise-induced acidosis (e.g., lactic acid buildup) contributing to fatigue.

H₂ can neutralize lactic acid indirectly by improving mitochondrial efficiency and reducing the ROS that exacerbate acidosis. This delays the onset of muscle fatigue.

Mechanism: H₂ modulates key signaling pathways, such as the Nrf2/ARE pathway, which regulates the production of endogenous antioxidants like glutathione. It also affects AMPK signaling, promoting energy homeostasis and fat utilization during exercise.

This is the most overlooked benefit of Hydrogen. H₂ improves the potency of vitamins & other nutritional ingredients.

We'll use "First Principals" to explain:

a) H₂ optimizes cellular behavior by signaling the mitochondria.

b) H₂ has the highest Bio-availability and Bio-accessibility. In other words, it gets into the cells really fast.

The result: By quickly optimizing cellular behavior, H₂ "paves the highway" for cells to more efficiently metabolize vitamins, amino acids, proteins, or other nutrients.

Chat GPT's thoughts on the impact of H₂ on Antioxidants: H₂ has shown to enhance the efficacy of antioxidant vitamins (like Vitamin C and E) by maintaining their active states. This could improve their bioavailability and effectiveness. By modulating cellular signaling pathways (e.g., Nrf2 activation) and reducing ROS, H₂ can optimize the conditions for nutrient uptake (bioavailability) and utilization at the cellular level.
