Protective effect of hydrogen against hyperoxia-induced type II alveolar epithelial cell injury

Breathe Easy: How Hydrogen Helps Protect Your Lungs

Hyperoxia, or an excess of oxygen, can damage lung cells, but hydrogen may be a powerful protector. Researchers found that hydrogen can shield type II alveolar epithelial cells from damage caused by excess oxygen. This study has implications for lung health and disease prevention, and highlights the potential benefits of hydrogen-rich water.
