This increases the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin in the blood. It does not increase the amount of unbound oxygen (O1) or ozone (O3) in the cells. It just make more oxygen bio-available.  This is particularly effective with exercise, where you usually have an "oxygen debt."  The cellular machinery needs plenty of oxygen to work at its peek efficiency.  <br><br>Free radical damage occurs as a result of the normal metabolic process going on in each cell.  For this reason, you always need to have a good supply of antioxidants from your food or through your body's innate antioxidant producing mechanisms. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LloydChiro]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2010 3:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Oxyfit personal oxygen booster a bulky alternative to Perri-air]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/oxyfit-personal-oxygen-booster-a-bulky-alternative-to-perri-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/oxyfit-personal-oxygen-booster-a-bulky-alternative-to-perri-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[@LloydChiro  !!This system is absolutely nonsense!!<br>Not true. The oxygen delivered to your muscles is mostly depending on the effectiveness of your blood circulating system, and to a small part on intrinsic factors of your muscles. The lungs is always extract enough oxygen to saturate the blood hemoglobin at around 98% whether your exercising or not (If you have a lung condition It's another thing though). In the end it all comes down to what stamina you have. How good you are at using the oxygen will determine how big oxygen debt you will have when you stop. If you train a lot your blood system will become more efficient and you will deliver enough oxygen to your muscles for a longer time i.e. better stamina. Adding more oxygen to an untrained individual will not do a thing. Adding more oxygen might only improve the work of a selected few elite-sport individuals in extreme situations when they are exercising on their peak performance and it would probably have to be 100% oxygen and not the 30 or something this system delivers, and the weight this one adds would slow them down more than benefit them.

Costs about 300 - 800 yen (~$3.50 - $9.25) depending on the size of the bottle.  Nice after a hittin' the gym or hittin' the sake.  For the same money as one of these machines you could buy a couple hundred cans of that O2.  <br><br> Also, I don't know if this would really be all that good for a hangover.  Unless it's electrolyzing water or something I'm guessing all this will really do is harvest oxygen from the ambient air.  If you're indoors that means you'll just deplete the local air of oxygen faster.  Deep breathing exercises would probably accomplish the same thing...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[OddManOut]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2010 4:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Oxyfit personal oxygen booster a bulky alternative to Perri-air]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/oxyfit-personal-oxygen-booster-a-bulky-alternative-to-perri-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/oxyfit-personal-oxygen-booster-a-bulky-alternative-to-perri-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's the perfect product for people that are worried about all the CO2 we humans have added to our atmosphere.

Also, the amount of oxygen to the muscles depends on the heart's ability to pump blood to the lungs and muscles, and the skeletal muscle makeup (ie. fast-twitch vs slow-twitch fibres) not really the O2 % in the air (unless up high altitudes). So if you want to get fit, train more often, not use O2 cannisters!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[strangetrousers]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2010 6:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Oxyfit personal oxygen booster a bulky alternative to Perri-air]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/oxyfit-personal-oxygen-booster-a-bulky-alternative-to-perri-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/oxyfit-personal-oxygen-booster-a-bulky-alternative-to-perri-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[@strangetrousers That's only with long term use, not for short bouts of exercise.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LloydChiro]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2010 9:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Oxyfit personal oxygen booster a bulky alternative to Perri-air]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/oxyfit-personal-oxygen-booster-a-bulky-alternative-to-perri-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/oxyfit-personal-oxygen-booster-a-bulky-alternative-to-perri-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[Your body would get used to an increased amount of oxygen during workouts, rendering you useless as soon as you need to do something physically demanding without it. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nitesh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2010 9:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Oxyfit personal oxygen booster a bulky alternative to Perri-air]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/oxyfit-personal-oxygen-booster-a-bulky-alternative-to-perri-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/oxyfit-personal-oxygen-booster-a-bulky-alternative-to-perri-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[@Nitesh <br><br>Fact?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LloydChiro]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2010 9:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Oxyfit personal oxygen booster a bulky alternative to Perri-air]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/oxyfit-personal-oxygen-booster-a-bulky-alternative-to-perri-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/oxyfit-personal-oxygen-booster-a-bulky-alternative-to-perri-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[@LloydChiro  Not really, just a hypothesis. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nitesh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2010 9:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Oxyfit personal oxygen booster a bulky alternative to Perri-air]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/oxyfit-personal-oxygen-booster-a-bulky-alternative-to-perri-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/oxyfit-personal-oxygen-booster-a-bulky-alternative-to-perri-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[I want to know how many calories this air has before i start inhaling it?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KGB]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 17th 2010 12:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Oxyfit personal oxygen booster a bulky alternative to Perri-air]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/oxyfit-personal-oxygen-booster-a-bulky-alternative-to-perri-air/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/16/oxyfit-personal-oxygen-booster-a-bulky-alternative-to-perri-air/</guid><description><![CDATA[Japanese version of the american BONG, so they start with air and premium  you  have Air-Joint-MIX...Nice 1]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[papabear_2_3]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 17th 2010 9:05AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
