The Muscle Couple has checked out a lot of “Hyped Supplements” over the years and many of them turn out to be Snake Oil.
We can’t imagine anything more bogus than “Oxygenated Water”.
Stay Away from this BUNK PRODUCT!
Please don’t buy into this marketing hype. Oxygen comes in thru your lungs. You won’t get any absorbed thru your stomach. Your blood is nearly 100% saturated with oxygen (approximately 98% to be more specific) when it leaves your lungs.
It makes ZERO BIOLOGICAL SENSE to believe increasing O2 saturation can be beneficial in general.
Humans are “reactive oxygen species” and by-products of oxidative metabolism. We should understand oxygen is toxic, and cellular respiration is essentially an O2 detoxification mechanism (the beauty of our system is that we extract energy from this process). Oxidative stress and resulting tissue damage is an underlying cause of most — if not all — diseases and age-related dysfunctions.
Fortunately, we have some built in defense mechanisms that can be enhanced with nutritional support and training. But we can also be overwhelmed by the same stress. For that reason, supersaturating your body with ‘oxygen cocktails’ is just not a good idea.
The Muscle Couple bottom line:
There’s NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to show oxygenated (or oxygenized) water has any significant effect on Exercise performance, Energy levels, or Recovery.
Save your Money and Buy Some More Whey Protein and EFA’s!

The water itself isn’t infused with oxygen. The electrolytes and trace minerals are infused with oxygen and added after the water has been purified. Your info is correct as far as how the body works, but not to how the body works even better when consuming perfect water. I’ve been drinking it, and it’s noticeably better than any other water and most sport drinks.

All brawns no brains. Do your research on a product before you talk down on a product… Gym buffs…..

We’re allowing allowing this post to show what kind of uneducated, sophomoric tripe replies to our blog about “Perfect Water”. What does “All Brawns no brains” mean? It’s not a sentence and never could be. “Do your research on a “product” (Oxegenated Water-LOL) before you talk down on a product? I’m going to guess you didn’t graduate from High School but somehow landed your GED? Be honest. Gym buffs? Do you even know the literal meaning of your two words? Because you clearly didn’t use it to talk down about us even though it was your intention. Run away now and remember your foolish retort will be forever etched on the search engines exposing you for the cretin you are.

Oh George. I bet you $1 you sell this scandalous product. I also bet you didn’t graduate from college. I also bet you couldn’t last very long in a debate with us about the merits of this product?
