Episode notes
Why Molecular Hydrogen Matters
- Molecular hydrogen (H2) is a small signaling gas produced by the microbiome and during water electrolysis with therapeutic potential.
- Multiple research streams converged to show H2 has biological effects beyond being just a gas.
Founder’s Recovery Sparked The Tablet
- Alex Tarnava developed hydrogen tablets after severe autoimmune-like illness left him disabled and frustrated with existing devices.
- His personal recovery and iterative chemistry work led to tablets used in many clinical trials.
Use H2 For Metabolic Support
- Use hydrogen supplementation to help metabolic markers: cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose and body composition as shown in trials.
- Consider hydrogen for sleep and appetite regulation via ghrelin and GLP‑1 effects.
