How Hydrogen Helps Protect the Brain from Injury
A 2016 study found that hydrogen can help protect the brain from injury by increasing the expression of a protective protein called HO-1. This discovery could lead to new treatments for conditions like stroke. Hydrogen therapy has already shown promise in other areas, including heart health and lung disease treatment.
