LATEST STORIES

Amid today’s flood of wellness shortcuts and pseudo-science, Alex Tarnava stands out as a disruptor, innovator, and rigorous voice of reason.


The CEO and co-founder of InhaleH2.com (in pre-launch with a patent-pending hydrogen inhalation system, co-invented with Dr. Tyler LeBaron) founder, CEO and inventor behind HydrogenWaterTablets.com, the patented and clinically validated open-cup hydrogen tablets marketed by over 100 brands worldwide, Tarnava has redefined what it means to combine functional health, deep science, and entrepreneurial resilience—all while staying grounded in transparency and truth.


Through HydrogenWaterTablets.com, he licenses his intellectual property to leading brands and health figures, including Gary & Cole Brecka’s H2Tab, Dr. Mercola, Dr. Gundry’s Gundry MD, Dr. Amen’s Brain MD, and CODEAGE.. He is also a strategic advisor and equity stakeholder in VeriFoods.com, which is preparing major partnership launches with the mission to conduct mass testing for contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticide residue, microplastics and PFAS in our food supplies.


From Skeptic to Scientist


Alex Tarnava didn’t come from a scientific background. Before entering the wellness field, he was a successful self-made entrepreneur and investor who, like many, faced challenges with chronic inflammation, joint pain, and suboptimal health.

Frustrated by lackluster results from conventional treatments, Alex turned to molecular hydrogen after encountering promising research. He immersed himself in the literature, developed a novel hydrogen-generating tablet, and began collaborating with research teams. Today, his technology is the backbone for licensed hydrogen tablets sold worldwide—and has been tested in over 20 clinical trials, with more in planning and underway than completed.

The Science of Molecular Hydrogen


Molecular hydrogen (H₂) is a small but mighty therapeutic gas with thousands of studies supporting its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cell-protective effects. Its uniqueness lies in selectively neutralizing harmful free radicals (like hydroxyl radicals) without interfering with healthy cellular signaling.

Tarnava’s open-cup hydrogen tablet technology revolutionized the delivery of H₂: when dropped into water, it produces a high concentration of dissolved hydrogen gas that is rapidly absorbed into the body.

The result? A simple, effective way to help reduce oxidative stress, support mitochondrial function, and improve recovery from exercise or chronic conditions. The tablet formulation has achieved New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) status from the US FDA and is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS)—a rare distinction for hydrogen delivery systems.


Backed by Clinical Trials


Unlike many supplement companies that rely on anecdotal testimonials, Tarnava committed to publishing peer-reviewed research to prove the efficacy of his hydrogen tablets.

Clinical studies have explored molecular hydrogen’s impact on:

  • Inflammation and oxidative stress

  • Muscle recovery and performance

  • Skin health and aging

  • Metabolic flexibility and endurance

  • Cognitive performance and fatigue.

Tarnava’s open-cup hydrogen tablets remain among the most clinically tested hydrogen supplement delivery methods in the world.

An Advocate for Scientific Integrity


What truly sets Alex Tarnava apart is his relentless commitment to evidence-based claims. Through his personal platform, podcast appearances, and ongoing writing, Alex educates the public not only on molecular hydrogen, but on the larger importance of scientific rigor, manufacturing standards, and consumer empowerment.


He’s not afraid to challenge the status quo. And in doing so, he’s earned the respect of researchers, clinicians, and biohackers alike.


Molecular Hydrogen & Biohacking


Tarnava has largely contributed to the rise of molecular hydrogen as a biohacking staple. Once an obscure therapeutic modality, H₂ is now widely embraced by those seeking:

  • Enhanced recovery and athletic performance

  • Improved sleep quality and mitochondrial efficiency

  • Reduced inflammation and oxidative burden

  • Brain clarity and neurological resilience

Thanks to the convenience of Tarnava’s open-cup hydrogen tablet system, users don’t need expensive devices or inhalation chambers to experience benefits.

Expanding the Mission: Health Beyond the Hype


Today, Tarnava continues to lead research efforts into H₂’s potential role in metabolic health—his primary focus—followed closely by exercise performance and recovery, and life and health extension. Other active areas include brain health, fatigue, and targeted disease models.
 

Beyond molecules and marketing, he sees his work as part of a larger mission: restoring consumer trust through evidence and honesty. Whether he’s speaking on podcasts, advising researchers, or testing new delivery systems, his goal remains the same—create tools that actually work, and prove it.
 

Long term, Tarnava’s biggest research direction is in preclinical phases: combining approved drugs with hydrogen from the tablets in rodent models. Early findings suggest a synergistic effect—improving disease-fighting potential while reducing drug side effects.

What’s Next?


Alex is expanding into international health partnerships, new product development, and wellness policy advocacy. He’s particularly passionate about ensuring access to validated wellness tools without misinformation or hype.


As more wellness trends rise and fall, one thing remains clear: Alex Tarnava will continue holding the line between real science and empty buzzwords.


Final Thoughts


In a crowded field of wellness influencers, few lead with the level of integrity, transparency, and scientific contribution that Alex Tarnava has demonstrated. He didn’t set out to be a disruptor, but through his relentless pursuit of truth, he became one.
