Molecular Hydrogen
A balanced, evidence-based review of H₂ as an emerging therapeutic agent — from its discovery to clinical oncology.

Interactive 3D model of a molecular hydrogen (H₂) molecule
About the book
Hydrogen, the smallest molecule with the widest potential
Molecular hydrogen (H₂) has moved from a curiosity of physiology to one of the most promising selective antioxidants under investigation today. It diffuses freely across membranes, reaches the mitochondria and the cell nucleus, and appears to neutralise the most cytotoxic reactive oxygen species without disturbing the redox signalling the body depends on.
This book offers a balanced, evidence-based review across ten chapters: the history of the discovery, the physiology and metabolism of hydrogen in the human body, its anti-tumoral mechanisms, its interaction with conventional oncologic therapies, the practical methods of administration, and the open questions that research still has to answer.
It is written for clinicians, researchers, pharmacists and informed readers who want the evidence — including its limits — rather than the hype.
