Performance
& Recovery
Energy Converted from Molecular Hydrogen
Studies have demonstrated that supplementing with molecular hydrogen, which has the ability to donate electrons generously, increases the production of ATP in the mitochondria by more than 50%. Additionally, this enhanced function also reduces the production of the superoxide radical in the mitochondria and increases the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase, which further suppress the production of the Hydroxyl radical. Molecular hydrogen supplementation not only boosts ATP production in the mitochondria but can also contribute to an increase in the number of mitochondria in the cell through its effect on PGC1-alpha. This has significant benefits for athletic performance and the generation of explosive force.
It is known that exercise leads to nuclear translocation of PGC1-alpha to initiate mitochondrial biogenesis. Triggering this increase in cellular mitochondrial count translates into improved cellular respiration and energy production. But that is not all, the increase in PGC1-alpha is also linked to the rapid clearance of lactate in the body. It is shown that molecular hydrogen supplementation up-regulates PGC1-alpha, and in doing so, it promotes performance and improves recovery.
Injury and
Inflammation
Inflammation is a generic response of body tissue. Both infectious and non-infectious agents, such as cellular injury, can activate an inflammatory response. However, this response doesn’t distinguish between possible causes. The function of the inflammatory response is to remove harmful stimuli and initiate the healing process, which involves both the immune and circulatory systems. It is a balancing act that can go awry, as is the case in chronic inflammation, for example.

How Molecular Hydrogen Works
Molecular Hydrogen supplementation acts against inflammation in two synergistic ways.
Firstly, oxidative stress can initiate or sustain an inflammatory response, and since Molecular Hydrogen boosts the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as Superoxide dismutase and catalase, it suppresses the oxidative stress signal, and in turn, reduces the risk of unnecessarily triggering or over-sustaining the inflammatory response.
Secondly, all inflammation pathways pass through the activation of the NF-kB pathway. It is true in oxidative stress, and it is also true in the case of infection or chronic inflammation. Molecular hydrogen dampens the NF-kB pathway, directly avoiding a highly detrimental runaway inflammatory response.
We know that molecular hydrogen supplementation increases the mitochondrial production of ATP by more than 50%,
suppresses oxidative stress, and acts as an anti-inflammatory. The sustained provision of biological energy is central
to correct biological function however, it is not the only function of ATP.
ATP also allows the solubilisation of protein in the cells (if not soluble the proteins cannot do their jobs), as well as
facilitating the proper folding of protein by the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER). Proteins are born as long spaghetti of
amino acids, and it is only after they are properly folded that they can assume their biological function such as the
creation of tissue be it ligament, muscle, or skin, following a tear or impact. The misfolding of protein can trigger
inflammation, autoimmune reactions, and disease. It is also common for unfolded protein to be more likely to
precipitate in the cell, potentially causing the damage we see following multiple concussions.
Recovery
Peak performance, maximum explosive force, increased stamina, improved recovery times, improved injury repair
times, and prolonging career, are all part of an elite sports person’s life, and professional sporting institution’s training
focusses. This elite and cutting-edge industry is focussed on the extra 1 or 2 percent of performance to take them to
the top of the table, and it is here that we expect significant uptake, once the market is made aware of the these
championship defining benefits. If on the front foot initially or not, it will still mean that every elite athlete and sporting
code on the planet will ultimately need to embrace this technology, just to keep up.
Hydrogen Benefits for Professional Sport
Hydrogen gas (H2) has been researched for its potential benefits when used in pools for professional athletes and sportspeople. Research in this area is ongoing into its’ benefits, but there are considerable advantages associated with hydrogen gas-infused pools.
They include;
Enhanced Recovery
Molecular hydrogen has antioxidant properties and may help reduce oxidative stress, aiding faster recovery after intense workouts or competitions.
Improved Endurance
Studies suggest that hydrogen gas may improve endurance by reducing lactic acid buildup and muscle fatigue, potentially leading to better performance during endurance sports.
Muscle Preservation
Molecular hydrogen may protect muscle tissues, reduce muscle damage and promote muscle preservation during strenuous exercise.
Reduced Inflammation
Inflammation is a natural response to exercise-induced muscle damage, but excessive or prolonged inflammation hinders recovery and performance. Hydrogen gas’s anti-inflammatory effects could assist athletes in managing inflammation and improving their readiness for subsequent training sessions or competitions.
Mental Clarity and Focus
With enhanced hydration and reduced oxidative stress, athletes might experience a boost in concentration and decision-making abilities, which are essential for delivering peak performance.
The advancements in biology are so significant that no one will want to be without this life-giving technology. Regularly swimming in a Pool of Life can bring the final piece of the puzzle together that allows all that hard work to pay off, and bring the results we crave. It is completely beneficial for all biology, with no known adverse side effects.
We believe that this will extend careers, assist in wound healing, maximize potential and minimize post-career consequences. World cups will be decided by it and recovery capabilities will decide grand slams. Hundreds of millions of dollars hinge on these moments and before too long it will be molecular hydrogen that will prove the cellular difference that will decide who takes the title.
