FAQ

A: Oxygen is essential for life. It powers the energy production process in our cells. Every cell needs oxygen to function optimally, supporting everything from energy levels to detoxification.

A: Insufficient oxygen can lead to fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and even serious health issues. Ensuring your body has enough oxygen is vital for overall well-being.

A: Symptoms of oxygen deficiency, also known as hypoxemia, include shortness of breath, rapid breathing or heart rate, confusion, headaches, dizziness, bluish tint to lips or skin, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.

A: A pulse oximeter is a non-invasive device that measures oxygen levels in your blood. A normal reading typically falls between 95% and 100%.

A: While lifestyle factors like exercise, a healthy diet, and stress management can contribute to overall well-being and potentially improve oxygen intake, they may not be sufficient for everyone, especially in today’s fast-paced world. For individuals seeking additional support, oxygen supplementation or therapy might be considered.

A: Potential causes of oxygen deficiency include lung diseases, heart conditions, sleep apnea, high altitude, anemia, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

A: Certain groups of people are more susceptible to oxygen deficiency. These include:

• Infants and children: Their bodies are still developing, and they’re more vulnerable to respiratory infections.
• Elderly individuals: Age-related decline in lung function and overall health can increase the risk.
• People with chronic lung diseases: Conditions like COPD, asthma, and cystic fibrosis can impair oxygen intake.
• Heart patients: Conditions affecting heart function can impact oxygen delivery to the body.
• Individuals living at high altitudes: The thinner air at higher elevations contains less oxygen.
• Smokers: Smoking damages lung tissue and reduces oxygen intake.
• People with sleep apnea: Breathing interruptions during sleep can lead to oxygen deprivation

A: Oxygen therapy is a medical treatment involving the administration of high-concentration oxygen directly to the lungs, typically prescribed for specific medical conditions.

A: Oxygen supplementation involves increasing oxygen intake through methods like oxygenated water or supplements. It’s often used as a preventive measure or to support overall health.

A: Oxygen therapy is a medical treatment for specific conditions, while Oxygen Supplementation is a broader approach to enhance overall health and well-being.

A: Oxygen therapy has been a well-established medical treatment since the late 19th century, used for over a century to treat respiratory conditions.

In contrast, oxygen supplementation, aimed at enhancing wellness, is a more recent trend that gained popularity in the late 20th century with the rise of alternative health practices.
While oxygen therapy has a long history in medicine, oxygen supplementation is newer but has been growing in popularity over the past few decades.

A: Yes, oxygen therapy and supplementation predate alkaline/hydrogen supplements.

• Oxygen therapy has been used in medical settings for decades, particularly for patients with respiratory conditions or those recovering from surgery.

• Oxygen supplementation in the form of oxygen-enriched products has also been around for a while, though its popularity has surged in recent years.

Alkaline and hydrogen supplements, on the other hand, gained significant attention as health trends in the past few decades. While there is some scientific research supporting their potential benefits, the evidence is less extensive and conclusive compared to oxygen therapy and supplementation.

A: Oxygenated water is a form of oxygen supplementation where water is enriched with extra oxygen molecules. It’s designed to deliver more oxygen to your body when you drink it, offering benefits beyond hydration.

A: Yes, numerous studies has shown an increase of blood oxygen after drinking oxygenated water

A: When consumed in moderation, oxygenated water is generally safe. However, like any supplement, it’s important to listen to your body and avoid excessive consumption.

A: While the body naturally produces oxygen radicals, the moderate increase from oxygenated water is beneficial and supports the body’s defense systems.

A: No, there is no risk of oxygen toxicity from consuming oxygenated water. Oxygen toxicity typically occurs in high-pressure oxygen environments, such as those encountered by deep-sea divers or patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).

A: Yes, there is a shelf life of 1 – 2 years for bottled oxygenated water from the date of manufacture. Dissolved oxygen starts leaving the bottle once bottled from the source. After 8 – 12 months, dissolved oxygen in bottled water is potentially lower than tap water. In other words, only by drinking oxygenated water from the source will it give you the highest level of dissolved oxygen.

A: OxyTap is a world’s first cutting-edge oxygen supplementation device that infuses your water with a precise amount of oxygen by recycling the elements of H2O. With OxyTap patented technologies, oxygen is extracted and infused back into water whilst hydrogen is discharged as waste. This enables you to drink from the ‘source’, ensuring the highest  dissolved oxygen levels. OxyTap’s passion for innovation takes one step further and stabilizes the oxygen which allows more dissolved oxygen to be infused into the water and with a higher retention rate.

A: Dissolved Oxygen levels in water is measured in PPM (parts per million) using a high-quality scientific instrument – Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Meters.

• Filtered / Alkaline / Treated Water – 3-6 ppm
• Tap / Bottled Water – 6-8 ppm
• Natural / Spring Water – 8-20 ppm
• OxyTap supplemented water – 25 – 45 ppm

A: Oxygen supplementation via Oxygenated water can enhance energy levels, improve mental clarity, aid in detoxification, and speed up recovery after physical activity. It’s particularly beneficial for those experiencing oxygen deficiency.
