Molecular Hydrogen is at the leading edge of medical gas research investigating cutting  edge scientific solutions to oxidative stress and its impact on chronic  degenerative diseases, accelerated ageing, and acid-base related diseases.  Molecular Hydrogen in gaseous form and water enriched with hydrogen gas have  been studied at major research institutions as a treatment for neurodegenerative  conditions, psychosis, cancer, inflammatory and allergic conditions. Research is  focusing on Hydrogen’s selective antioxidant action, anti-inflammatory,  anti-acid, and epigenetic signalling functions.

HydrogenEZE is a patented formula created by Dr. Dusan Miljkovic.  Dr Miljkovic  is a veteran scientist with a PhD in Chemistry and over 30 years research and  development experience in the pharmaceutical industry with over 15 patents.   HydrogenEZE is a unique and ultra pure metallic stabilized magnesium and mineral formula. When ingested it creates a reaction releasing trillions of  negatively charged microscopic bubbles of Hydrogen.  Due  to its extremely small size (2.4 Angstroms) .24 nanometre (0.24 Trillionth of a  Meter), these microscopic bubbles spread throughout the body in seconds  penetrating all tissue, cells, and cell components providing rapid protection from free radical damage. Research finding indicate that molecular hydrogen’s antioxidant function is selective. It selectively eliminates the more destructive free radicals such as peroxynitrites and hydroxyl radicals and not as much the Super Oxide and Hydrogen Peroxide which are used by our immune system to defend against microbial pathogens. 

This is a very useful function as the internal defence systems such as Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD) and Catalase are not capable of neutralizing the peroxynitrites and hydroxyl radicals. While intracellular defence systems such as the internal antioxidants and antioxidant  enzyme systems can protect internal cellular components, Recovery Hydro FX not only has the capacity to protect intracellular environments and cellular  components including the internal antioxidant enzymes such SOD, Catalase and peptide antioxidants such as Glutathione but may also be involved in their  epigenetic induction and up-regulation via nrf-2 pathway. Since all cellular constituents are made with proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, DNA, RNA, and  vitamins, and minerals, these can be oxidized. The oxidation can arise from not only from internally generated free radicals but also from the toxic load of  environmental chemicals we absorb from the environment via air, water, food, and skin/hair products. Molecular Hydrogen released from Recovery with HydroFx can be used effectively to reduce the damage.  Due to HydrogenEZE's nature (low concentration of magnesium), it is safe to be taken by children, pregnant and lactating women, elderly, and those on medications. It is a unique and powerful formula that can be used in conjunction with any other treatment natural or allopathic. 
 
Why is hydrogen generated by HydogenEZE so effective?
 
  • Selective antioxidant function: Eliminates the more destructive peroxynitrite and hydroxyl free radicals.

  • Extremely high number of negative charges (electron donating). The negatively charged bubbles of Molecular Hydrogen carries a cluster of electrons which are free to be donated to free radicals. (Ref. Communications with Dr Dusan Milkjovic, PhD -Inventor)

  • Size (smallest atom). Due to the extremely small size, molecular hydrogen can penetrate all cellular components and available both in intra- cellular and extra-cellular matrices.

  • Rapid mobility due to gaseous nature (high collision and reaction rates with free radicals) makes it a effective antioxidant

  • Function as  a messenger molecule and transcription factor (potential nrf-2 activator)

  • Function as signalling molecules in modulating pathways involved in inflammation and allergies (TNF alpha, NFkappa..)

  • Acid neutralizing effect (i.e. Lactic acid) and therefore supports acid alkaline balance in the body.

  • Anti-Apoptosis Reduction in pre-mature cell death.


As Health Professionals we have a wonderful opportunity in this period of time to help not only ourselves but our clients using this scientifically validated cutting edge formula. Having trialled it for over 5 years on myself, family, friends, and clients as well as assessing in my  practice, blood samples of clients before and after ingesting 3 capsules using  dark-field microscopy, I have full confidence in the formula that it can truly
revolutionise health with its broad spectrum therapeutic functionality.

Abstract 

In the current study we tested the hypothesis that an acute (7 days) intake of an alkaline negative oxidative reduction potential formulation
(NORP) drink would reduce the rate of blood  lactate accumulation during and after exercise, increase time to  exhaustion, increase serum buffering capacity and not increase prevalence of adverse effects as compared to the control drink. Eleven participants (9 men  and 2 women) met the criteria to take part in the study. Participants were  randomized in a double-blind, cross-over design to receive the control and the
NORP drinks within two single-week periods to study the efficacy of the NORP drink (at a dose of 1 L per day by oral administration). The NORP drink was  supplied in bottles containing 2 g NORP,  6 g sucrose, 1-2 mg sodium per dose. The control drink was identically supplied and formulated except that it contained no NORP. Exercise testing was performed using a treadmill based ramp protocol. Blood glucose or
total antioxidant capacity were not affected by supplementation (p >  0.05) while serum bicarbonates were significantly higher after the NORP trial  (p < 0.05). Critical HR at the velocity  of 8.1 mph during the test was significantly lower in NORP as compared to the
control drink trial (p < 0.05). Blood lactate sampled at velocity 8.1 mph during the test was significantly lower in the NORP group (p < 0.05). No athletes reported any vexatious  side effects of supplementation. It seems that NORP supplementation could have
 a beneficial effect  on human performance during maximal exercise.

Abstract
 
Possible appliance of effective and safe alkalizing agent in the treatment of metabolic acidosis could be of particular interest to humans
experiencing an increase in plasma acidity, such as exercise-induced acidosis.  In the present study we tested the hypothesis that the daily oral
intake of 2 L of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) for 14 days would increase arterial blood alkalinity at baseline and post-exercise as compared to the placebo. This study  was a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 52 presumably  healthy physically active male volunteers. Twenty-six participants received HRW  and 26 a placebo (tap water) for 14 days. Arterial blood pH, partial pressure for carbon dioxide (pCO2),
 and bicarbonates were measured at baseline and post-exercise at the start (day 0) and at the end of the intervention period (day 14). Intake of HRW  significantly increased fasting arterial blood pH by 0.04 (95% confidence interval; 0.01 - 0.08; P <  0.001), and post-exercise pH by 0.07 (95% confidence interval; 0.01 -0.10;  P =  0.03) after 14 days of intervention. Fasting bicarbonates were significantly higher in the  HRW trial after the administration regimen as compared to the pre-administration (30.5 } 1.9 mEq/L vs. 28.3 } 2.3 mEq/L; P <0.0001). No volunteers withdraw before the end of the study and no participant reported any vexatious side effects of supplementation. The results support the hypothesis that HRW administration is safe and may have an alkalizing effect in young physically active men.
