Equine
Oxyshot
How
does Equine Oxyshot work?
The first step in understanding
how Equine Oxyshot works is to appreciate the unique
bio-electrical manufacturing process. Put simply,
deionised water (cleansed of all organic compounds
and impurities) with a little salt added (to
facilitate an electrolyte solution) is exposed to a
serious electric charge. This process of
electrolysis progressively “de-composes” the water
by removing hydrogen from the H2O and by uniquely
bonding the surplus oxygen molecules together,
enabling the solution to remain stable whilst “super
concentrating” the oxygen level. This procedure
increases the oxygen from that which is found in tap
water (about 8 parts per million) and multiplied up
to the Equine Oxyshot of 150,000 parts per million
(15% of total volume). The oxygen is “stabilised”
(meaning ‘locked in’ to solution and prevented from
becoming a ‘gas’).
Samples
from the Equine Oxyshot production facility have
been shown by independent laboratories to remain
stable for at least two years in an unopened
container and eight months in an opened container.
This represents a world first, not only due to the
stable qualities of Equine Oxyshot, but due to the
neutral pH of 7.9 which makes it safe to drink!
(Older technologies require a chemical process that
results in potentially toxic PH of 3.4 which means
they are unsafe to ingest).
How
is Equine Oxyshot absorbed into the body?
Typically atmospheric oxygen (a
gas) is delivered to the body via the lungs. In
contrast, Equine Oxyshot (although rich in oxygen)
is not a gas, it is an aqueous solution and like all
solutions (eg water, alcohol etc) is absorbed via
the gastro-intestinal tract, across the gastric
membrane. As the gastric membrane is similar in
nature to the tissues of the lungs the oxygen
‘locked in solution’ crosses over into the blood
stream in the same way and this by-passes the first
two steps of aerobic respiration (ventilation/gas
exchange). The oxygen in a 25ml dose of Equine
Oxyshot, whilst not in itself a lot of oxygen
(3.75ml) compared to normal respiratory oxygen, is
however in a very concentrated form (15%) in the
solution and this difference is the key to its
effectiveness.
How
does this help a horse?
Research conducted in
universities and laboratories around the world has
shown that, following the use of Oxyshot marked
increases in the partial pressure of arterial blood
(PO2) and significant decreases in blood CO2 were
found. This increase in usable oxygen and reduction
in CO2 could lead to many benefits for the physical
performance and general wellbeing of the performance
horse.
How
can this be happening?
Exercise physiologists have been
aware for a long time that a phenomenon known as
“de-saturation” exists among some athletes where the
haemoglobin ‘dumps’ oxygen into the muscles, thus
increasing the oxygen available to the muscles
without increasing cardio-respiratory rates. A
similar event may be encouraged by administering
Equine Oxyshot prior to the intense exercise event.
This could explain the increased O2 metabolism from
ingesting only 3.75ml from a 25ml dose of Equine
Oxyshot.
Possible
mechanisms
Observers of oxygen therapy,
using traditional forms of O2 in solution (hydrogen
peroxide) even in very small doses (5 drops) have
recorded changes to enzyme 2,3 DPG, in the
haemoglobin this can lead to a shift in the ‘HbO2’
dissociation curve to the left and by speeding up
the delivery of oxygen to the muscle tissues,
improve the efficiency of existing haemoglobin and
cardio-respiratory functions.
What
are the ingredients in Equine Oxyshot?
Equine Oxyshot contains
de-ionised water, a minimum amount of naturally
formed sodium chloride (in the form of Sea Salt) and
a minimum of 15% v.v of charged stabilised oxygen
(CSO2™) at manufacture.
Are
there any side effects when administering Equine
Oxyshot?
There are no known side effects.
If
side effects occur should I stop administering it?
No, by continuing to administer
the supplement it will expediate the detoxification
process allowing the horse to perform at its
maximum. As quoted from Valerie Saxion Ph.D, N.D
“Oxygen displaces deadly free radicals, neutralises
environmental toxins, and destroys anaerobic
(depleted of oxygen) bacteria, parasites, microbes
and viruses.”
Will
Equine Oxyshot interfere with any nutritional
supplements or medications?
No.
Can
you administer Equine Oxyshot and other nutritional
supplements or medications at the same time?
To obtain the maximum benefits,
it is preferred and recommended to administer Equine
Oxyshot on an empty stomach 30 minutes before
feeding or other administration of nutritional
supplements or medications.
Is
Equine Oxyshot pH balanced?
Yes. Equine Oxyshot is balanced
to a slightly alkaline state which is beneficial to
the body.
How
much oxygen is actually in Equine Oxyshot?
It contains at least 15 % v/v
(volume-to-volume) CSO2 which is equivalent to
150,000 parts per million of stabilized
bio-available di-atomic oxygen at manufacture.
What
is the shelf life of Equine Oxyshot?
It is about 8 months for an
opened bottle and 18 months for an unopened bottle.
What
is the difference between Equine Oxyshot and
hydrogen peroxide or other oxygen supplements on the
market?
Equine Oxyshot should not be
confused with the Chemical Chlorite compounds which
are available on the market and which represent an
older, now outdated approach to providing oxygen
supplements. Equine Oxshot is a liquid solution
which contains intact oxygen molecules ready for
immediate absorption; the older Chlorite type
compounds must first come into contact with the acid
in the stomach before oxygen is released by way of a
vigorous chemical reaction. Also, Equine Oxyshot
should not be confused with hydrogen peroxide, a
compound which can cause problems if not
administered properly and with appropriate care.
How
should I store Equine Oxyshot?
Once opened it is best stored in
a refrigerator, however you can store Equine Oxyshot
at room temperature. It is important to keep it out
of direct sunlight. Do not freeze Equine Oxyshot.
What
is De-Ionised Water?
De-Ionised water is a very pure
form of water that has had ionic chlorides removed.
