drinking water with more O2

DubaiAmateurRocketry - 27-10-2013 at 08:42

So I got this drink that says it has around 10 times more dissolved Oxygen than normal water.

could it help our body ?

since oxygen is usually transfered by rbc, does dissolved oxygen help your body, like to do sport ?

lol BRILLIANT! but uhm... no! :) Saturation of O2 in water is minute... in the order of 10 ppm or something like that... I'd need to look it up, so even if somehow the *10 claim is true, the actual net amount is still minute.

Plus I'd like to know how exactly they get *10 saturation because saturation is equilibrium, you can only go past that with pressure or lowering temperature, but then again, as soon as you drop pressure back to atmospheric, it will fizz out quickly.

Anyhow... just love the gimmicks people come up with these days to turn a buck... they just found a way to 'differentiate' ordinary water and coin it!

So... in the spirit of this snake oiliness, why don't you sell water with 10 times the deuterium content and claim it makes you live longer cause deuterium slows down chemical reactions (very slightly) lolololol

hmmm... pm me lololololol

O2 is moved into RBC via the lungs, drinking it probably won't have much effect on you since it wont be absorbed by the intestines

deltaH - 27-10-2013 at 09:07

ok, according to engineeringtoolbox.com, saturation of O2 at 17C is about 10 ppm, lucky guess on my part ;)

Out of interest, at 4bar, it only climbs up to about 38ppm!

We should start selling mountain air

deltaH - 27-10-2013 at 09:29

Spaceballs already own the rights to canned alpine air random :(

Peri-air if I remember correctly, or something like that, lol

May the shwartz be with you!
What about drinking water with minute amounts of H2O2 if you realy wanted to get more oxygen, it decomposes in the stomach.

deltaH - 27-10-2013 at 09:46

...aaaand we have a winner... bismuthate!

That's probably how they did it for legal reasons. Well thunk :)

Thank you very much.,
Also while I was in CVS (confusing the clecks by buying baby oil, gloves, iodine, cold packs, and epsom salt) I noticed a antibacterial cream with copper chloride as the second ingredient! It's amazing what people will do to get money and differenciate their product.

They probably put a few drops of H2O2 in it. Whether it is good or bad, here in the
US there are people who think that drinking hydrogen peroxide is beneficial. I think
there was one company that figured out how to diffuse small amounts of H2O2
through the PET plastic bottles, meaning that they wouldn't have had to open the
bottle to "oxygenate" it.

I have no personal interest in it myself, other than a chiropractor that I used to visit
was selling bottles of "Royal Manna" water for something like $15 a pop. He wouldn't
believe me when I told him that it was just a bit of hydrogen peroxide in a bottle of
water, and I couldn't believe he was selling something like that to his patients when
he didn't even know what it was. I offered to test it for him, but he said it was
something that couldn't be measured in a lab. Go figure.

well ive heard you can get on an 'oxygen bar' in southern europe where people go drink, and especially .. every .. single .. person im sorrounded by.. at my age.. sigh
anyways its got some flavour in and apparently it makes you ready quickly for some more heavy drinking (brilliant idea etc)
of what i understand its pure oxygen gas you just sit and breath through a mask for some 10 minutes

i used to get really tired back when i was working at metal workshop, so i used to go take abit of pure oxygen from oxygen-acetylene burner.. and it seemed to work

anyways pure oxygen gas might be very different from water with a tad of oxygen dissolved into it

In other words, I was able to modify the molecular structure and cause the oxygen to remain in a steady state. It does not appear that this steady state of oxygen changes when bottled in either glass, plastic or left in an open container. This is the part that no one in the world has been able to accomplish. Additionally, I have found out if the water is wet, the oxygen is still in it at the higher level.


Is this guy trolling or simply too full of shit?

Chiropractors...what do you expect? He'd probably sell you some antioxidants to go along with it.

I'd lean more toward the latter option. The sad thing is that this
guy is a millionaire, selling overpriced bottles of water to sick
people who think it will cure them of various ailments.

As for the chiropractor, we got into an argument about it. I felt
like he was insulting my intelligence, so I never went back there
again.

Anyway, welcome back.

This reminds me of the salesman who is trying to sell some internet package deal for a guy. The guy responds but it is basically the same thing as your competitor, same number of gigabytes. The salesman says yes, but the competitor's gigabytes are smaller gigabytes.

The lesson is : Get informed. Cut through the junk that people say.
