In this episode with Alex Tarnava, you'll get to dive into the fascinating world of molecular hydrogen and its powerful health benefits. Alex shares his personal journey from battling arthritis to discovering hydrogen's potential for gut repair and overall well-being. You'll also explore how hydrogen works as a mitohormetic agent, boosts mitochondrial health, and upregulates your body's antioxidant defenses. Alex also breaks down cutting-edge research, reveals the science behind hydrogen tablets, shares insights on dosing, and much more!
Alex Tarnava, the inventor of the molecular hydrogen tablet, leads the clinical and preclinical outreach programs for its development and research. He has published a significant number of papers on the subject through peer review, including numerous papers coauthored with my friend and former podcast guest, Dr. Tyler LeBaron (who I interviewed in the episode "The 30-Year-Old Scientist Phenom Who Runs a 2:30 Marathon, Deadlifts 420 Pounds & Drinks Hydrogen Enriched Water").
Alex places a great deal of emphasis on why dose and concentration are important for hydrogen tablet use. He was even invited to present at the 1st Annual European Conference for Hydrogen in Biomedicine. His presentation on dosing conversions from translational to clinical research, and the discrepancies between successful rodent studies and human studies, was selected to be included in the course material for the pharmaceutical program at a university in Slovakia.
Tune in to explore how embracing hydrogen could transform your well-being and support your journey toward a healthier, more vibrant life!
