AHHA (American Hydrogen Health Association) is an industry association that develops self-regulated standards for businesses based on the best available evidence. AHHA recognizes MHI’s research as a foundation for setting ethical guidelines and best practices in the industry.

MHI (Molecular Hydrogen Institute) provides scientific research, education, and certifications related to hydrogen health. AHHA members may refer to MHI’s certifications as part of establishing industry-wide requirements for product quality and transparency.

International Hydrogen Standards Association (IHSA) works on standardization efforts and guidelines.

AHHA is an industry-led association that applies scientific research to create practical industry guidelines and self-governing policies for ethical business practices.

AHHA was founded to unify the hydrogen health industry, set quality standards, and ensure consumer trust. Without a self-regulating body, the industry risks misinformation, low-quality products, and ethical concerns.

Right now, founding members (H₂ brands/products) can join for only $500. Costs, requirements, and policies will be shaped after joining.

As a self-regulating association, AHHA enforces compliance through warnings, probation, public delisting, or membership revocation, with penalties decided democratically by members. Companies voluntarily agree to uphold these standards, ensuring integrity and accountability within the industry.
