What Is Molecular hydrogen gas or H2

Molecular hydrogen gas or H2, is the primary form in which hydrogen is found. In other words, two hydrogen atoms (H) are covalently bonded (a type of chemical bond) together as H-H. Because there are two hydrogen atoms, we call this diatomic hydrogen (“di” meaning two). Because the hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded together, they form a molecule; so H2 is also referred to as Molecular Hydrogen (H2). It is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, non-metallic, highly flammable gas and very explosive above a 4.6% concentration by volume. It is this form of hydrogen that has been shown to exert the wide range of therapeutic effects. Some articles refer to this as “hydrogen-rich water”. It is the smallest molecule in the universe and this extremely small size, and its high lipid solubility allows it to easily diffuse into the subcellular compartments of the mitochondria and other locations where it exerts an antioxidant effect, and it specifically neutralises a dangerous free radical called Hydroxyl by converting it into water.
