Cardiovascular disease is still the leading cause of death. Despite progress in treatment, the burden continues to grow. In this episode, we examine how molecular hydrogen — a small, selective antioxidant — may influence heart health.

We review emerging studies showing hydrogen's effects on:

• mitochondrial function

• oxidative stress

• endothelial health

• blood pressure

• red blood cell performance

We take a look at the mechanisms, data, and what they might mean going forward.

• Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are major drivers of heart disease. Hydrogen may help stabilize both.

• In animal studies, hydrogen improved heart cell energy production and reduced damage to vessel linings.

• Human trials suggest hydrogen inhalation can lower blood pressure and improve markers in heart failure.

• Effects on endothelial cells and red blood cell function point to systemic cardiovascular benefits.
