📊 Evidence by Outcome
Ohsawa 2007 showed H2 selectively reduces hydroxyl radicals. Numerous animal studies, but human RCTs are small and heterogeneous.
30 studies • Consistency: Mixed • Effect: Small
Small RCTs suggest reduced muscle fatigue and lactate accumulation. Effects are modest and inconsistent across studies.
8 studies • Consistency: Mixed • Effect: Small
👥 Community Insights
