氢的简史

有没有想过“氢”这个名字的来源?“氢”这名字源于希腊文字“Hydro”(水)和“genes”(形成),因为氢是形成水的两个元素之一。法语单词“Hydrogene”用来形容“氢气”,这个名字是由法国科学家Antoine Lavoisier创造,他也被称为现代化学之父。

虽然连接氢气和医药的最早出版物之一发表于18世纪,但直到2007年,由I.Ohsawa等人领导的日本科学家团队发现,氢气吸入时可作为治疗性抗氧化剂,并保护身体细胞免受自由基的伤害。该研究和发现首次发表于Nature Medicine(2007)。这具有里程碑意义的出版物引发了全球对其潜在健康裨益的兴趣。从那时起,已有超过1,000项关于氢及其对170多种人类疾病以及人体各器官益处的研究。

2013年,Tyler LeBaron开创并建立氢分子研究所(MHI)。MHI是氢分子科学的权威代表,其主要宗旨是发展、促进、教育和宣传氢研究,并保持氢研究和氢产品的完整性。

氢分子(H2)是由两个氢原子组成的天然分子。基于它两个原子的组成,它是宇宙中最小和最丰富的分子。作为最小的分子,氢可以穿透人体细胞和组织,包括血脑屏障。

氢是一种无色、无味、无毒的气体,对人类疾病具有多种治疗益处,其中包括作为强大的抗氧化剂(和选择性抗氧化),抗炎症,抗细胞凋亡(抗细胞死亡)和抗过敏。有各种使用氢的方法,例如:通过摄取、吸入、注射、喷洒在皮肤上,或透过沐浴吸收。

什么是分子氢
它如何在我的体内起作用?

自由基的危害

自由基是不稳定分子,拥有一个或多个不成对电子,使其具有高反应性。因此,它们从我们体内的其他稳定分子中窃取一个或多个电子,导致身体细胞受到损害和破坏。当自由基生成与身体抵抗或中和这些有害作用的能力之间失去平衡时,一种被称为氧化应激的情况就会发生。长期氧化应激与蛋白质、脂类和核酸(DNA)的损害有关。

研究表明,如果让这些自由基失控并引起氧化应激,它们会刺激伤害感受器并引起疼痛。 肌筋膜组织中氧化应激的存在很容易在肌肉和关节中产生炎症反应。 在慢性肌肉和关节疾病中,组织中存在慢性炎症和氧化应激是不可分割的。 因此,为了正确处理慢性肌肉和关节问题,需要学习如何管理慢性炎症和氧化应激的代谢因子。

分子氢是最有潜能的“新型”抗氧化剂

分子氢已被科学证明具有抗氧化特性,有助于从体内清除导致过早衰老的自由基。 Shigeo Ohta博士及其研究人员提出,分子氢具有作为“新型”抗氧化剂的潜力,而不会产生不利影响。

氢作为潜在的抗氧化剂具有许多优点:H2迅速扩散到组织和细胞中,并且其温和程度既不会干扰代谢性氧化还原反应,也不会干扰在细胞信号传导中起作用的活性氧(ROS),因此,几乎没有不良反应消耗氢气的效果。 此外,H2不仅显示出对氧化应激的作用,而且还显示出各种抗炎作用。 H2穿过血脑屏障,尽管大多数抗氧化剂不能。

如何在食品中发现类似于分子氢的植物性抗氧化剂?
  • 它们对都是自然的。
  • 它们既不是人造的也不是合成的。
  • 它们俩都在促进健康。

分子氢与食品中的抗氧化剂有何不同?

  • 分子氢只清除有害的自由基。
  • 分子氢在中和自由基后不会留下废物。
  • 分子氢还可以增强人体自身的抗氧化系统。
  • 分子氢还充当信号分子,因此具有许多其他好处。
  • 分子氢是最小的分子,可以很容易地进入细胞。 (注意:H2仅重2g / mol,而维生素C为176.2 g / mol)
  • 分子氢在高摄入量下没有已知的毒性作用。

哪一个可以消除更多的自由基:维生素C或分子氢?

基于化学计量,一个分子的维生素C在理论上可以中和两个自由基,这与分子氢相同。 但是,一些用过的维生素C分子可以使身体恢复活力并再次使用,而分子氢公司则不然。 另一方面,分子氢可以上调体内强大的抗氧化酶,从而提供进一步的保护,这是维生素C不能实现的功能。 有趣的是,高水平的维生素C摄入实际上可以防止这种上调的发生。
