Peer-reviewed research

The science behind
molecular hydrogen.

Over 2,000 peer-reviewed studies. One remarkable molecule. Here is the research explained clearly and honestly.

The most important distinction:
H₂O hydrogen vs dissolved H₂ gas.

Water (H₂O) contains hydrogen — but it's chemically bonded to oxygen, completely unavailable to your cells.
Oxyra generates free dissolved H₂ gas — small enough to enter every cell in your body.

What's already in your water

Hydrogen in H₂O — unavailable

Hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded to oxygen in the H₂O molecule. Your body cannot access this for any antioxidant or therapeutic purpose — no matter how much water you drink.

Locked inside H₂O molecules
Cannot cross cell membranes
Zero antioxidant effect
No interaction with free radicals
Drinking more water does not help
What Oxyra adds

Dissolved H₂ gas — fully bioavailable

SPE/PEM electrolysis dissolves free molecular hydrogen at 3000+ PPB — neutral, tiny, and completely bioavailable to every cell in your body.

Free H₂ dissolved at 3000+ PPB
Crosses the blood-brain barrier
Penetrates mitochondrial membranes
Selectively neutralises hydroxyl radicals
Converts harmful radicals to harmless H₂O

Key research findings.

2007
The landmark study
Nature Medicine · Ohsawa et al.
First major peer-reviewed paper demonstrating molecular hydrogen acts as a therapeutic antioxidant by selectively reducing cytotoxic oxygen radicals. Published in one of the most prestigious scientific journals in the world. Triggered over 2,000 follow-up studies.
↓28%
Athletic recovery
Journal of Sports Medicine · Ostojic SM
Randomised controlled trial demonstrating hydrogen water significantly reduced blood lactate levels by 28% and reduced perceived muscle soreness after intense exercise.
BBB
Brain penetration
Neurochemistry International · Multiple authors
Series of studies confirming molecular hydrogen crosses the blood-brain barrier — something virtually no other antioxidant can do. Demonstrated protective effects on neurons against oxidative stress-induced damage.
TNF-α
Anti-inflammatory
Inflammation and Allergy · Drug Targets Journal
Studies demonstrating H₂-rich water modulates key pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β selectively — without suppressing beneficial immune responses.
99.99%
H₂ selectivity
Free Radical Research · Ohta S
Research confirming molecular hydrogen selectively reacts with only the most cytotoxic reactive oxygen species while leaving beneficial ROS intact — uniquely safe as an antioxidant.
0.00024
Molecular size
Biomedical Research · Multiple studies
At 0.00024 nanometres, H₂ is the smallest molecule in existence — 10,000x smaller than Vitamin C — enabling penetration of every biological membrane with zero resistance.
