What is inhaled hydrogen therapy?
Inhaled hydrogen is a simple, in-clinic treatment where you relax in a chair and breathe a gentle blend of medical-grade hydrogen gas through a soft cannula or mask. Sessions are comfortable and provider-monitored.
Hydrogen is a tiny molecule that can act as a helpful signal in the body. The goal is to support natural balance — especially around everyday oxidative stress — so you feel clearer, recover better, and function at your best. Plans are personalized to your goals and can be paired with other ViveWell services when appropriate.
Discover the transformative benefits of inhaled hydrogen
People choose inhaled hydrogen because it’s easy, noninvasive, and fits into a busy week. Many notice a calm, refreshed feeling after sessions, along with steadier energy and easier recovery from day-to-day demands. With consistent use and guidance from your provider, it can be a simple way to support whole-body wellness.
When your body has clearer signals and less everyday stress, systems tend to work more smoothly — helping you think clearly, move comfortably, and bounce back faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
Hydrogen is an ultra-small molecule that can move across cell membranes, including in the brain, and reach tiny subcellular spaces. When you breathe a gentle mix of medical-grade hydrogen, it acts as a helpful signal that supports natural balance in the body. Hydrogen is absorbed quickly within about 30 minutes and generally returns to baseline around 60 minutes, yet it can set off healthy cellular cascades that continue after the session.
What should I expect during my session?
- You will relax in a chair and breathe a 2–4% hydrogen gas mixture delivered by a soft nasal cannula or mask.
- A clinician sets the flow, reviews safety, and checks in during your session.
- You simply breathe normally. Most people find it calming and comfortable.
- When the session ends, you can return to your day right away.
How often can I breathe hydrogen?
Sessions can be done frequently, including daily, based on your goals and provider guidance. Many people see the best results with consistent use over time. We will review your history and create a schedule that fits your plan.

The science behind hydrogen inhalation
Interest in hydrogen therapy dates back to a 1975 mouse study and grew after 2007 reports that inhaled or dissolved H₂ may have biological effects. Proposed actions include scavenging reactive radicals and activating the Nrf2 pathway, which can influence antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, detoxification, and metabolic responses. Early cell, animal, and small human studies suggest potential benefits—from symptom relief in rheumatoid arthritis to adjunct roles in oncology and reduced oxidative damage—but mechanisms and real-world effectiveness are still being investigated.
