Mumbai-based startup launches portable hydrogen inhaler

Mumbai: A Mumbai-based startup Serene Envirotech Pvt Ltd has launched portable molecular hydrogen generating machine, udazH for personal use of consumers. The molecular hydrogen inhaler comes with a dual-use technology which enables two users to use the machine at the same time.

Molecular hydrogen has been deemed as an important preventative wellness tool since its discovery as an antioxidant in 2007 and has further been linked to providing protection to cells from oxidative stress-related damage. Present in very minute traces in air, hydrogen can be inhaled as a gas at very low concentrations (1-3%) for antioxidant health benefits.

Researches on the molecule in recent times indicate that certain properties like smaller size, lighter molecule along with its superb bioavailability property, makes the Hydrogen molecule (H2) the only molecule that can penetrate into subcellular level of the body and act as a powerful selective antioxidant.
Regulated amounts of Hydrogen gas with a rapid diffusion rate penetrates cell membranes and easily crosses the blood-brain barrier to provide benefits at the sub-cellular level, where other antioxidants are incapable of reaching. It can thus help the body in fighting multiple diseases if inhaled.

Speaking on the antioxidant properties of hydrogen and propounding why it is better than other available anti-oxidants, Dr. Babu Sudhakar, Chairman and Managing Director, Serene Envirotech Pvt. Ltd. Mumbai said, “Free radicals are what lead to oxidative stress in our mitochondria and can cause severe damage to both our DNA and our body’s fundamental proteins at molecular level. Although it’s not the first substance to come to mind when most of us think of ‘antioxidants’, molecular hydrogen is one of the most powerful antioxidants in existence. H2 selectively neutralizes free radicals, reduces oxidative stress, boosts our body’s innate antioxidant production and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Visible results like better skin tone, improvement in lung activity, and a fresh lease of youthfulness in your body can be clearly observed by yourself after a month of inhalation.”

Free radicals are unstable atoms formed inside mitochondria (tiny power plants) in each cell of our body which can cause a lot of damage inside the cells, causing serious diseases and aging if not countered by antioxidants. Imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants can cause cellular oxidative stress and lead to disorders/diseases which can be prevented through efficient antioxidants like Hydrogen.

The udazH hydrogen inhaler, as the company suggests, can provide antioxidant power to cells to combat oxidative stress and support the body’s ability to maintain homeostasis by neutralizing harmful free radicals and boosting the internal antioxidant system.

Some of the other well-researched benefits of hydrogen inhalation include improving allergy and asthma conditions, reviving vital organs performance, restoring energy levels, easing autoimmune disease affecting your joints or skin, enhancing better skin health and tone and rejuvenating overall cellular health among other health benefits.
