Manage Your Cholesterol Naturally with Hydrogen Therapy
High cholesterol is a common health concern that increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. While medications and healthy lifestyle changes are vital, there's growing scientific interest in hydrogen therapy as an additional natural support.
How Does Hydrogen Therapy Help Cholesterol?
Hydrogen (H₂) therapy involves drinking hydrogen-rich water or inhaling hydrogen gas. Hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant, reducing harmful oxidative stress that can worsen cholesterol problems (Ohsawa et al., 2007). This action helps prevent LDL cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol) from becoming oxidized and damaging blood vessels. Researchers have also found that hydrogen influences metabolic hormones and genes, potentially boosting fat metabolism and energy expenditure. The bottom line: H₂ acts as an antioxidant and signaling molecule, helping to protect blood vessels and optimize how our bodies handle fats.
Scientific Evidence for Hydrogen Therapy
Several scientific studies show promising results:
- Hydrogen-Rich Water: Drinking hydrogen-rich water daily has significantly lowered LDL cholesterol and improved HDL ("good" cholesterol) function in clinical trials (Song et al., 2013). A systematic review also found consistent reductions in total cholesterol and triglycerides among participants (Todorovic et al., 2023).
- Hydrogen Inhalation Therapy: Inhaling a hydrogen-oxygen gas mix has demonstrated benefits in lowering LDL cholesterol levels and improving liver health, especially in individuals with fatty liver disease often linked with high cholesterol (Tao et al., 2022).
- Lowers LDL in Fatty Liver Patients:
A recent 13- week clinical trial in adults with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (a condition often linked with high cholesterol) found that those who inhaled a hydrogen- oxygen gas mix have a significant decrease in LDL cholesterol levels by the end of the study (Tao et al., 2022). These patients also showed improved liver enzyme levels and reduced inflammation, indicating better liver health. This is important because a healthier liver can regulate cholesterol more effectively.
Recommended HFizz® Products
To integrate hydrogen therapy conveniently into your daily life, we recommend two HFizz® products specifically designed to deliver these benefits effectively:
- HFizz® Bottle Plus
An easy-to-use portable hydrogen generator. Just add water, press a button, and enjoy hydrogen-rich water anytime. Perfect for daily hydration and antioxidant benefits.
- HFizz® Complete (1500 mL/min model):
An advanced medical grade hydrogen inhalation device combining hydrogen and oxygen gases.
Choosing the Right Flow Rate
HFizz® Complete models come in different flow rates. The moderate flow rate of 1500 mL/min is typically optimal—it's effective yet gentle enough to minimize discomfort. Lower rates (150 mL/min) are ideal for beginners, while higher rates (3000 mL/min) may provide more powerful antioxidant effects.
Safety First
Hydrogen therapy is safe and non-toxic, but individual responses can vary. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting hydrogen therapy, especially if you have medical conditions or take prescribed medications. Hydrogen therapy complements—but doesn't replace—standard medical treatments.
Start Your Journey to Better Cholesterol Health
With HFizz® Bottle Plus or HFizz® Complete, you can easily introduce the benefits of hydrogen therapy into your lifestyle. Explore how this natural, science-backed therapy can support your cholesterol management and overall well-being.
Client testimonial
I started hydrogen inhalation therapy around the end of November last year, approximately 3 hours daily. Initially, I experimented with various hydrogen-oxygen flow rates but later settled on a fixed rate of 600 ml/min, maintaining this for 3 hours each day, mostly during sleep. Below are five health markers from my physical check-ups for your reference. Four out of five have shown improvement, I'm very satisfied with the results! I'm confident that hydrogen inhalation helps significantly with clearing free radicals and improving overall health.
