Hydrogen and Oxygen Therapy

Hydrogen Oxygen Therapy in Derry and Donegal​

At X-cellr8, we harness the power of Hydrogen and Oxygen Therapy to promote cellular health, accelerate recovery, and support overall wellness. This innovative therapy works by combining two powerful elements: hydrogen, a selective antioxidant that neutralizes harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS), and oxygen, which enhances tissue oxygenation and cellular energy.

Hydrogen has been shown to reduce inflammation, protect DNA from oxidative stress, and support mitochondrial function—making it a promising tool for neuroprotection, sports recovery, chronic inflammation, and even anti-aging. When paired with oxygen, this therapy enhances detoxification, boosts immune response, and improves tissue repair and metabolic health.

Used for conditions ranging from stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI) to respiratory disorders and metabolic syndromes, hydrogen-oxygen therapy offers a safe, non-toxic, and forward-thinking approach to wellness and recovery. At X-cellr8, all treatments are delivered under expert supervision, ensuring both safety and effectiveness as we help you optimize your body’s healing potential.

Mechanism of Action:

  • Hydrogen selectively scavenges harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) like hydroxyl radicals.
  • It modulates gene expression and reduces inflammation.
  • Oxygen increases tissue oxygenation, similar to HBOT but usually at lower pressure

Common Uses:

  • Neuroprotection in stroke and TBI
  • Sports recovery
  • Anti-aging and longevity Chronic inflammation (e.g., arthritis, metabolic syndrome)
  • Respiratory conditions (COPD, asthma)

Benefits:

Here are the benefits of hydrogen and oxygen therapy (often delivered as a hydrogen-oxygen gas mixture or through hydrogen-rich water/inhalation):

  • Powerful antioxidant – neutralizes harmful free radicals (especially hydroxyl radicals)

  • Reduces inflammation at cellular and systemic levels

  • Protects cells and DNA from oxidative stress

  • May support brain health – potential neuroprotective effects (e.g., stroke, Parkinson’s)

  • Improves athletic recovery and reduces muscle fatigue

  • Supports metabolic health – may aid in insulin sensitivity and lipid regulation

  • Protects organs (e.g., liver, kidneys) during ischemia-reperfusion injury

  • May improve skin condition by reducing oxidative damage

  • Enhances mitochondrial function and energy metabolism

  • Increases oxygen supply to tissues, improving cellular function

  • Boosts energy levels and reduces fatigue

  • Improves cognitive function in cases of hypoxia or poor circulation

  • Supports healing of wounds and damaged tissues

  • Helps in respiratory conditions like COPD, asthma, and pneumonia

  • Enhances immune function by supporting white blood cell activity

  • Improves exercise tolerance and recovery

  • Assists in detoxification processes in the body

  • May reduce symptoms of altitude sickness or hypoxic conditions

Together, hydrogen-oxygen therapy may provide synergistic antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cellular protective effects, especially for chronic disease prevention, recovery, and longevity.

Risks/Limitations:

  • Generally considered safe (hydrogen is non-toxic at therapeutic levels)
  • Limited high-quality human studies (many are early-stage or animal-based)
  • Inhalation methods need caution — hydrogen is flammable at high concentrations (>4%)
  • All treatments are supervised by our highly trained practitioners to ensure maximum safety
