The global Alzheimer’s therapeutics market is projected to exceed $20 billion by 2030, with dementia-related costs already surpassing $1 trillion annually. Positioned as the only functional hydrogen-based therapy of its kind, H2 Global Group offers investors a rare first-mover advantage in one of the most urgent and lucrative markets of our time.

H2 Brain®: Innovative Support for Mental Well-being at the Cellular Level

H2 Brain®: Innovative Support for Mental Well-being at the Cellular Level

H2 Vibe proudly introduces H2 Brain®, an innovative food supplement developed to support mental wellbeing and cognitive performance – both during the day and at night. This unique two-phase formulation respects the body’s natural circadian rhythm and is carefully tailored to meet the brain’s changing needs throughout the day.

Today’s fast-paced lifestyle, combined with a lack of physical activity and chronic stress, is taking a toll on our mental health. “People today live under immense pressure, which often results in poor sleep quality and a general sense of mental unease,” explains Viktória Procházková, CEO of H2 Global Group. “At the same time, data indicates a growing prevalence of neurological disorders, which motivated us to develop a comprehensive solution aimed at supporting cognitive function and emotional balance.”

For nearly a year, the Czech company H2 Global Group fine-tuned the formula to perfection – resulting in H2 Brain®, a two-phase supplement designed to meet the brain’s essential needs and promote mental clarity and emotional resilience. “Throughout the development of H2 Brain®, we paid close attention to the bioavailability and synergistic interactions of each ingredient to achieve maximum efficacy at the cellular level,” adds PharmDr. Milan Krajíček, Head of Research and Production at H2 Pharm.

Targeted Support – Day and Night

H2 Brain® has been developed as a two-phase system to address the brain’s distinct daytime and nighttime needs. The morning tablet is focused on enhancing concentration and cognitive performance throughout the day. It includes Baikal skullcap extract, astaxanthin, and selenium with sustained release properties. The evening tablet, by contrast, is formulated to encourage mental relaxation and restorative sleep, with ingredients such as taurine, B vitamins, and ginkgo biloba.

H2 Brain® also features the patented HydrogenIQ complex, which naturally supports the production of molecular hydrogen. As the smallest molecule in the universe, molecular hydrogen is currently being explored for its unique ability to cross the blood–brain barrier and reach brain cells. Research suggests it may play a beneficial role in promoting cellular regeneration and protecting neurons against oxidative stress.

For Students, Professionals, Parents and Seniors

H2 Brain® is designed for a wide range of individuals – from students seeking to boost focus during intensive study, to professionals and parents managing high cognitive loads, to older adults looking to support mental clarity and cognitive longevity. “Our aim with H2 Brain® was to create a supplement that actively supports brain function and contributes to long-term mental wellbeing,” concludes Krajíček.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 55 million people worldwide are currently living with dementia, with around 10 million new cases diagnosed each year. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 60–70% of these cases. By 2050, the global number of people affected by dementia is expected to rise to 139 million. This alarming trend highlights the urgent need for proactive measures to support brain health from midlife onwards.

H2 Global Group Holds International Patent for Alzheimer’s Therapy Using Molecular Hydrogen

Ostrava-based company H2 Global Group has secured an international patent for the treatment and mitigation of Alzheimer’s disease through a groundbreaking approach combining hydrogen inhalation devices, hydrogen-rich water, and targeted nutritional supplements. Now, the company is integrating this innovation into a new model of personalised healthcare—with a focus on prevention.

Scientists warn that the number of Alzheimer’s cases is rising sharply, and individuals with close family members affected by the disease are up to four times more likely to develop it themselves.

A Czech Breakthrough with Global Potential

Alzheimer’s does not only affect the elderly—changes in the brain can begin as early as age 40, eventually leading to symptoms associated with various types of dementia. A ray of hope for millions around the world may, however, be emerging from the Czech Republic.

H2 Global Group’s patent—developed in collaboration with Japanese researchers—includes a unique combination of molecular hydrogen inhalation via custom-designed generators, drinking hydrogen-rich water, and targeted supplementation. The company is now planning to introduce a digital tool that can help identify individuals with a genetic predisposition, enabling early intervention and shifting the paradigm from treatment to prevention.
