What we have so far
A gas dissolved in water at millimolar concentrations, with small positive trials and an unresolved question about how something that inert does anything at all.
This star is on the map because the show intends to take the question apart properly — the trials, how it is actually tested, whether the thing sold is the thing studied. That work is not done yet, and nothing here should be read as a conclusion. When the investigation is published it will appear on this page.

LeBaron TW, Singh RB, Fatima G, Kartikey K, Sharma JP, Ostojic SM, Gvozdjakova A, Kura B, Noda M, Mojto V, Niaz MA, Slezak J. The effects of 24-week, high-concentration hydrogen-rich water on body composition, blood lipid profiles and inflammation biomarkers in men and women with metabolic syndrome: a randomized controlled trial.Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes · 2020 · 13:889–89610.2147/DMSO.S240122 · PMID 32273740
Sixty people, randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, 24 weeks, >5.5 mmol of H2 per day. Reductions in cholesterol, glucose and HbA1c against placebo, with improved inflammation and redox markers. Longer and better-designed than most of this literature — and still sixty people at one site, with several authors affiliated to a molecular hydrogen institute, which is a declared interest rather than a hidden one but belongs in the reading.
