Oxy-Caps^® Stabilized Oxygen Capsules

Additional Information

“You can go without food for weeks, without water for days, but if you are denied oxygen for only a few minutes, you cannot survive.  All the physical processes of your body, such as circulation, assimilation, digestion and elimination ‘run’ on oxygen.  Oxygen helps your body produce energy, balance its metabolism, eliminate wastes and fight infection.  Your body uses oxygen to rid itself of toxins and allergenic substances.  Since anaerobic bacteria, fungi and viruses cannot live in an oxygen-rich environment, high blood oxygen levels are your best defense against infectious illness.  Unlike other nutrients, your body cannot store oxygen. 

When your blood oxygen is low (as it usually is in most people), this condition is called ‘hypoxia.’  When hypoxia exists, your body is not capable of functioning at optimal levels.

Why are most humans hypoxic?  First, there is less available oxygen due to rampant tree destruction and pollution.  In ancient times, your ancestors breathed fresh air containing nearly 40% oxygen.  Today, O₂ molecules are becoming ‘bound up’ by pollution.  In humid areas or high altitudes, it is worse.  Add to that, the reduced O₂ content of continuously recirculated ‘stale’ air in your home or office.  This results in your getting 20% or less available O₂ in the air you breathe!  That is a significant loss!

Second, most people are shallow breathers.  If you have not deliberately learned to breathe properly (breathe abdominally), you are not bringing enough air into your lungs and you cannot assimilate it efficiently to obtain vital blood oxygen levels.  It is especially difficult for overweight people who become short of breath when their diaphragm cannot move to sufficiently draw air into their lungs.  When blood oxygen content is low, your body is slowed, weakened, and easily fatigues.  Your immune system tires, making you prey to infections, accelerated aging and, over time, disease.  Even mental clarity is reduced by hypoxia.

Dehydration also reduces the body’s ability to pickup and transport oxygen to the cells.  It has been estimated that 90% of the population is clinically dehydrated.  In short, they do not drink enough water.  Stress contributes to O₂ depletion in the body!  We normally think ‘emotional’ stress.  The body actually has to also deal with ‘physical stress’ (exercise) and ‘nutritional stress.’

Few people have enough oxygen for their body to function at peak levels!  To live well, you need to supplement your daily intake of oxygen.  With high blood oxygen levels, you can fight off illnesses, gain zest for life, and enjoy vibrant energy, strength, and endurance.”
