For fusion reactions here on earth, it is already present in the hydrogen fuel. The most common, and easiest to achieve, fusion reaction is deuterium and tritium. Deuterium is hydrogen, but with a neutron along with the proton, and tritium is hydrogen, but with two neutrons in the nucleus. The fusion reaction is (1p 1n) + (1p 2n) = (2p 2n) + 1n. 2 protons and 3 neutrons in, 2 protons and 3 neutrons out.
