Plus, discover six ways oxygen and hydrogen together help your body combat oxidative stress
In the pursuit of ageing well, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: longevity is not just about living longer. It is about maintaining clarity, cellular health, energy and quality of life as we age to enable us to enjoy our health span, not just life span.
To achieve this goal, it is important that we focus on the foundations of our health and wellbeing, in particular, cellular health.
Cellular health impacts every function in our body including energy production, organ function, a healthy metabolism, strong immune response and disease prevention. Healthy cells are more resilient to damage and can better withstand the effects of stress and environmental factors. When our cells are compromised, it can lead to a range of health issues and even accelerate ageing.
Over time, more research is emerging that identifies factors that can compromise our cellular health. One prominent factor is oxidative stress, when there are too many ‘free radicals’ in the body that cannot be equalized or neutralised by the body’s natural antioxidant defences.
Oxidative stress can damage cells and tissues, contributing to inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, and premature signs of ageing. Scientific research has also determined that oxidative stress plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer.1
At the centre of the is discussion regarding oxidative stress management is a small yet powerful molecule that is gaining recognition among researchers, wellness practitioners, and health innovators: molecular hydrogen (H₂).
Backed by emerging science and enthusiastically adopted by health innovators and practitioners, this remarkably small molecule might be one of the most effective ways to ease oxidative stress, rebalance our cells, and help us age with strength and grace.
Introducing patented Hydroxy: The power of Oxygen x Molecular Hydrogen
AirPod is the only mild hyperbaric wellness modality in the world offering Hydroxy - a patented innovation that combines oxygen and molecular hydrogen at adjustable pressures between 1.1 and 1.3 ATA.
This unique combination amplifies traditional oxygen benefits while delivering 2% hydrogen infusion per session, in line with global benchmarks for optimal safety and efficacy.
Whereas traditional hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves the use of 100 percent oxygen at high pressure and is typically reserved for short-term, medically supervised treatment, AirPod’s mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) is designed for regular long term use, making wellness support more accessible and lifestyle friendly than ever.
The hidden role of oxidative stress in ageing
Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between free radicals, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the body's ability to neutralise them via antioxidants.2 Over time, this imbalance can damage cells and tissues, contributing to inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, and premature signs of ageing.
Research now points to molecular hydrogen (H₂) as a promising nutritional therapy for a wide range of health concerns linked to oxidative stress. With its ability to selectively neutralise harmful free radicals, particularly hydroxyl radicals and peroxynitrite, H₂ supports cellular balance, reduces inflammation, and enhances the body’s natural antioxidant defences.3
Six ways oxygen and hydrogen can help combat oxidative stress and support your longevity:
- Enhances mitochondrial function and cellular energy
Molecular hydrogen helps support healthy mitochondrial activity, which can improve energy levels, reduce fatigue, and support recovery.4 - Reduces systemic inflammation
By neutralising harmful ROS, hydrogen can help downregulate chronic inflammation, a key factor in many age-related diseases.5 - Supports brain health and mental clarity
Hydrogen may assist in reducing oxidative stress in the brain, supporting focus, memory, and neurological health.6 - Improves tissue repair and skin regeneration
Studies suggest hydrogen therapy may support wound healing and skin vitality by protecting cells from oxidative damage.7
- Modulates immune function
Early findings indicate that hydrogen may help regulate immune responses, which is essential for defending the body without overactivation.8 - Designed for long-term wellness use
Unlike medical-grade HBOT, which is typically used short-term and without hydrogen, AirPod’s mild and integrative approach allows for consistent use as part of a broader wellness lifestyle.
A lifestyle first modality backed by innovation
The AirPod Hydroxy system combines mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT) with hydrogen infusion, delivering one of the most advanced, science-backed wellness modalities to optimise your wellness today, and support the prevention of disease and degeneration. Designed for consistent integration into your wellness routine the AirPod Hydroxy represents a truly unique approach to whole-body rejuvenation, cellular health optimisation and effortless wellness.
This is not about reversing age. It’s about ageing well: preserving clarity, energy, and resilience, and giving the body the conditions it needs to thrive.
