And in that nature medicine publication from 2007, it demonstrates this very thing that if you put hydrogen gas in in uh the same place with nitric oxide or hydrogen peroxide superoxid there's no reaction versus vitamin C. Of course there's going to be reaction because vitamin C is a is a powerful uh reducing agent. It can donates electrons has a what we know is a conjugated pi system. Many of these polyphenol compounds, vitamin E and so on, they can donate their electrons and remain stable because it's easy for that to do that. Molecular hydrogen doesn't do that. So there that's from a chemist perspective of why hydrogen can't do that. It's about the rate constants >> of molecular hydrogen as second order reaction
