Methods
Human participants studied for cardiovascular and circulatory health. See eligibility criteria in the linked full text.
Human study; the article does not state one consolidated sample total, so no total is inferred.
Multiple article-specific time points; see the linked full methods.
Full text reports an oral H₂-generating preparation. No numeric quantity is inferred beyond the source wording.
an oral H₂-generating preparation — H₂ only unless the full text explicitly reports oxygen co-delivery.
The full article describes the H₂ intervention but does not report a numeric H₂ concentration.
Placebo or matched control reported in the full article.
Outcomes and reported result
clinical symptoms or functional scores, tumor growth or cancer markers, oxidative-stress and antioxidant markers, apoptosis or cell injury, histology or tissue damage, metabolic laboratory measures
