Ohsawa 2007: the origin of the H₂ protocol
Paul Fournier
— WEEKLY EDITION · FRIDAY JULY 3 —
Before 2007, therapeutic H₂ did not exist.
Ohsawa et al. (2007) — published in Nature Medicine, one of the most cited medical journals in the world. This is the founding study of the field.
Protocol: H₂-rich water at 9,000 PPB, administered to post-stroke rats. Measurement of cerebral oxidative stress markers (MDA, 8-OHdG) at T+24h, T+48h, T+7d.
Results: 43% reduction in MDA markers, 31% reduction in cerebral infarct zone vs control group. Proposed mechanism: selective neutralization of OH• and ONOO⁻ radicals (the most toxic).
This study triggered 1,200+ subsequent publications. All use Ohsawa's 9,000 PPB threshold as the methodological reference.
That's why ELITE 9K is calibrated to 9,000 PPB. We reproduce the method validated by Nature.

«Ohsawa didn't invent hydrogenated water. He invented the method that validates measuring it. That's different.»
