Today there is only 21 per cent in the air we breathe. We are being more and more deprived of previous oxygen in the modern environment and it is causing serious health problems.

                                                                                            A deficiency of oxygen in a fact of modern life, whether it comes from a lack of exercise, working in an air conditioned office, stress, poor diet, or increased environmental toxins.

                                                                                            Your body uses oxygen to generate energy from food. If you are oxygen deficient, you can gain weight gain. How? If your body doesn’t have enough oxygen, it cannot convert the food you have already eaten into energy. This food will simply stagnate in your body, while it searches for extra energy through additional food intake, which can create a vicious cycle of over eating. Even if you have been eating ‘healthy’ foods, without enough oxygen your body cannot absorb the nutrients from them and will remain hungry.

                                                                                            Skin

                                                                                            Oxygen is essential to maintain your cellular function and repair. You need it to promote fibroblast (a type of repair cell) proliferation and collagen production, which is essential in the skin healing process. The availability of oxygen to skin tissues plays an important and integral role in the process of skin recovery.

                                                                                            Nutrition

                                                                                            Poor nutrition forces the body to expend even more of its precious oxygen reserve to maintain cellular health, fight off disease by struggling to keep the immune system strong, and to eliminate the build-up toxins in the body.

                                                                                            Eating junk food regularly forces the body to use up more of its oxygen reserves than usual to metabolize the preservatives and what few nutrients may actually be in the ‘food’. Other oxygen-robbing foods include processed sugar, white flour, alcohol and caffeinated drinks. The body has to divert needed oxygen from primary metabolic functions, such as heartbeat, blood flow, brain function and immune response, just to oxidize and metabolize these foods.

                                                                                            Dense food compounds, such as fats and proteins, are not only low in oxygen content, but also require extra oxygen from the body to convert them into energy which further depletes the body's oxygen reserves.

                                                                                            Illness

                                                                                            Sufficient oxygen helps the body in its ability to rebuild itself and maintain a strong and healthy immune system. Infection depletes the body’s oxygen, which is used to combat bacteria. Liquid oxygen has extensive anti-microbial properties in direct proportion to concentration and time. It appears to inhibit the growth or to reduce the colony count of the following general categories of anaerobic (non-air tolerant) organisms: bacteria, virus, yeasts, molds, fungi and parasites. All pathogenic microbes give up electrons and die when introduced to oxygen-rich environments. When body oxygen falls to extremely low levels for prolonged periods of time, the body may become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites and other infectious agents. Most of these are anaerobic, meaning they cannot live in an oxygen-rich environment.

                                                                                            Stress

                                                                                            The air itself is becoming more and more polluted, making oxygen extraction more difficult. Physiologists understand that breathing polluted air, or breathing air that contains less oxygen, puts tremendous stress on the human body. Excessive stress – including a heavy workload, traumatic or intense events in your life, prolonged depression or anxiety – can rob the body of huge amounts of its much needed oxygen. Emotional stress produces adrenaline and adrenaline-related hormones, requiring the body to draw on its oxygen reserves for their production and eventual oxidation.

                                                                                            Acidity

                                                                                            Individuals with chronically acidic systems also use up oxygen reserves. One way in which the body combats excess acidity is by trying to neutralize it with oxygen. To do so, it must continually divert oxygen away from its primary metabolic functions and direct it toward the acidic cells and tissues. This can lead to a cycle of toxin accumulation and oxygen depletion.

                                                                                            Exercise

                                                                                            The additional oxygen that must be taken into an athlete’s body after vigorous exercise to help restore all the body’s systems back to their normal conditions (or ‘states’) is called the ‘oxygen debt’. Oxygen debt is directly related to a build up of the metabolic waste product of muscle contraction known as lactic acid. Usually, labored breathing can only pay back this debt, which must continue even after exercising has ceased.

The chemical components are distilled water, sodium chloride (from sea salt), bio-available oxygen  (O2 + O2= O4) plus essential and trace minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc and iron.

                                                                                            It may be taken internally in its concentrated or diluted form and may also be used topically if desired. Liquid oxygen is the only oxygen supplement that can be used in this manner.

                                                                                            Liquid oxygen contains only bio-available oxygen and does not depend on the digestive process to be absorbed. The liquid oxygen solution differs greatly from all other oxygen liquid supplements because it is based on dissolved oxygen, not on oxychlorine or other oxygen-based compounds (molecules containing chlorine and oxygen usually forming chlorite/chlorine dioxide or chlorate). Almost all other oxygen supplements sold today are based on oxychlorine compounds. Many of these products are dangerous if taken incorrectly and have a Ph that is highly acidic in excess of 10.
