OxygenA breath of fresh air

| Oxygen bars are popular in smoggy cities such as Los Angeles, Bangkok and Tokyo. In the Japanese capital, you can even specify a fruity flavour for your O2. We Brits tend not to suffer so harshly from pollution, but the percentage of oxygen in the air has decreased over time. Couple this with the increase in carbon monoxide in our atmosphere, and the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood decreases.
Okay, lab coats off now. What we're trying to say here is that a blast of pure oxygen can perhaps make you feel good. It's probably the main reason why the makers of O-Pur have created a personal source of the good stuff. It won't make you light headed, but it won't make you run faster either. Somewhere in the middle ground between those two extremes lies the benefit gained from the oxygen in O-Pur. The responses from Firebox test subjects ranged between 'nice', 'very clean' and 'oh, I didn't think it would do anything, but somehow it has. But I can't describe it. Can I have some more?' The benefits of a blast of O-Pur may actually be more psychological than genuinely physical, but there's no doubting that several gulps of oxygen certainly feel as if they can cut through the fur and filth of a hangover. Even without the sceptre of a heavy night's antics hanging over you, a distinct feeling of well-being does wash over you after a little session with O-Pur. Keep one next to the whisky and the Popshotz in your desk drawer.

"Help your lungs out after all those smokey Christmas parties... It will also knock the socks off any Yuletude hangover you may pick up." | |||||||||||||
"...I cracked the can open and took a gulp. Then another and another. Pure oxygen, clean air - something none of us breathes too much of - feels fantastic." | |||||||||||||
"Brain power can be increased by up to 20 per cent when people take extra
supplies of oxygen, according to researchers at the Human Cognitive
Neuroscience Unit of the University of Northumbria... A dose of oxygen also improved performance when playing the computer game
Tetris when the game was at its hardest level." | |||||||||||||

I bought one of these from you last week and I have to say it helped me out. I have emphysema and am on oxygen at home 15 hrs a day. However, when I go out I'm without it. I took this with me to my friends last week and everyone had a puff, great stuff, big hit, thank you. | |||||||||||||
Just to put things clear, I'm an asthmatic and about a month ago I had an asthma attack. What did the nurses put me on after my nebuliser (don't know how to spell it haha) and oxygen tank!! So there for there is no harm in it at all!!!! | |||||||||||||
Right then, I have not bought one of these, but might do (mwehehe) but, the main reason for me writing this 'review' is because im bloomin' bored of all the boffins that have written boffical answers. Just review the goddamn product instead of all this scientific jargon and facts that A) no one really wants to know and B) what exactly is the point in posting these reviews on air????? Just look people, you've gotta face the truth, this is air, end of, it makes you feel good, let people enjoy instead of a loada poop about CO2. Thank you. | |||||||||||||
Why do you think nurses never have a hangover? Because they plug themselves into the oxygen the next morning! This product also relieves tiredness far better than caffine. | |||||||||||||
To everyone speculating on how toxic oxygen is, here's the facts. It doesn't become soluble in the blood at depth - that's nitrogen and it gives you the bends which is why deep divers use an oxygen helium mixture (gives them a squeaky voice after too - v. funny).
The reason you would die in a 100% oxygen atmosphere is because you need carbon dioxide to tell your lungs to breathe. This is a waste product of respiration and it's concentration in your lungs tells your body how often it needs to breathe (why your breathing becomes laboured at high altitudes or if there is low oxygen). If the atmospheric level of CO2 is zero, your lungs cannot produce enough of it to convince them to keep breathing and you will suffocate. So - extra oxygen is good for you - like taking deep breaths at the seaside it should clear your head and brighten you up, just don't fill an airtight room with it and shut yourself in or try using it while smoking. | |||||||||||||
How about just don't get drunk and wasted on alcohol, all you people saying it's so great for making you feel temporarily better after a hangover. | |||||||||||||
I must say, I LOVE the little video at the bottom, also, yea the thing kinda makes me feel fresh, like a winter morning for about 3 mins and awake, then I come slamming back to reality, and want more! | |||||||||||||
All I can say is.... Who the hell cares??if someone wants to buy they can...if not they dont...stop with the scientific blurbs and enjoy the fun wee things you get in life!! This thing being one of them! | |||||||||||||
Ok fine we are worrying about if its safe or not "blahdy blahdy blah" - well if you people think about it if its not safe then they won't sell this product would they? It has European standards and so on, so no worries. | |||||||||||||
Right I'm a Biology A level student, and I've just done respiration and about O2 and CO2 so listen up and listen good! Your body only has CO2 receptors in it, so it cant detect O2. CO2 is used up by cells and is transported in your blood by Haemoglobin ( Red blood cells) and exhaled. Breathing in O2 means your body can't detect it, silly I know. So too much O2 is bad for you, and like Sarah-know-it-all says- actually suffocates your body because you dont need to breath anymore. Evolution I guess, and so its not good to breath in too much pure O2, but a few blasts here and there won't do any harm. To show yourself how your body is werid, take like 15 really big deep breaths slowly in and out. You go light headed, too much O2. And if you hold your breath you dont need to breathe for ages. Thats all the O2 in the canister is doing, just a lot quicker and in one breath. You go light headed becasue your body can't detect all the O2 flooding into the blood and too much O2 in the blood is just randomly deposited everywhere. ''Also meeeeeee down the bottom'' has the facts. Peace out!! I'm getting this for hangovers! | |||||||||||||
