A clinical study found that hydrogen gas increased 90-day survival in post-cardiac-arrest patients from 61% to 85%. Researchers are also exploring hydrogen's effects on concussion recovery and lactate buildup during intense exercise, though wider adoption requires more rigorous trials.
What is really exciting you about the research in the hydrogen? Because as I've poked around the research, I've seen it in concussive injuries, comparing it to the standard protocol for concussive recovery, and maybe blunting the lactate threshold for athletic performance.
They looked at a couple of things, but I was going to give you two main results. The 90-day survival, because typically after post-cardiac arrest syndrome, yeah, you're able to resuscitate the person, but then the survival is not very high because it has so much damage they end up dying, you know, several days, weeks later. There was a 61% survival in the standard treatment group. In the hydrogen group, it was an 85% survival. Wow, that's a pretty significant— these people are alive because of hydrogen gas. I believe that if we had true, good, concrete evidence with clear primary endpoints, then hydrogen therapy could be a standard care.
