Why do I need Oxygen?
As we know we can go weeks without food, days without water but only minutes without oxygen. Oxygen is found in the air we breathe the water we drink and the food we eat. Due to manufacturing processes, modern farming methods and air pollution our bodies take in and utilise a lot less oxygen then we require.
Symptoms from lack of oxygen are: Stress, fatigue, tiredness, difficulty breathing, disturbed sleep.
Oxygen can prevent all of these symptoms but also help your daily or sporting performance.

How does it work?
You take oxygen 4 life or sports oxyshot orally in 10ml servings on an empty stomach. Because your stomach is empty and the liquid solution has less then 6g of carbohydrate per 100ml your body automatically will not send it into your digestive system but digest it through your stomach wall and straight into your blood stream, the same way an isotonic drink works.
With 150,000 parts per million of oxygen in comparison to tap water which has about 8 parts per million Sports oxyshot gives a huge boost to the arterial oxygen levels in the blood.
This then becomes a worlds first due to the product having a PH level of 7.9 making it safe to drink where older versions had a potentially toxic level of 3.4

How does Sports Oxyshot improve performance?
Studies at Hull University U.K. and Victoria University Australia show that
Aerobically Sports Oxyshot improves peak performance increasing blood oxygen levels by 3-6%. This allows the user to work at a higher performance for longer. For an elite triathlete (cycle leg) this would cut 3 mins off every hour.
Sports Oxyshot also allows quicker recovery from oxygen debt enabling the user to return to peak performance far faster then his/her opponents.

How can Sports Oxyshot help my weights session?
A study carried out at the medical research centre Salt Lake City U.S.
“There is a clear relationship between oxygen supply and lactic acid production. If local circulation carries adequate oxygen for the exercise rate being performed, then all of the necessary energy requirements may be supplied by ATP's generated by aerobic mechanisms. But if the number of muscle units which must contract to generate the required power exceeds the oxygen delivery and exhausts the 02 stores in place, then the oxygen level will drop to critical levels in each muscle unit and prevent the ATP (which is required for muscle contraction) from being generated at an adequate rate by the respiratory enzymes by the mitochondria. This will inevitably result in heightened anaerobic glycosis to sustain the availability of ATP. The consequence is an increased rate of lactic acid production”
Dr. John Heinerman, Director
To simplify this means more oxygen helps you produce ATP the energy source used for lifting weights, allowing you to carry out more repetitions and also not depleting your glucose levels as much. This in turn prevents lactic acid production in the muscles. Not only this sports oxyshot also helps muscles recover after any weights or cardio session.
Andy Peacock Personal Trainer/Professional Sports Conditioner says
“Anaerobically Sports Oxyshot aids weights sessions tremendously. Even as a sportsman is working anaerobically he/she will still be using the oxygen that is already present in the blood. Once this oxygen is depleted the body moves to using glycogen as an energy source but also producing lactic acid at the same time, the lactic acid eventually will result in muscle overload. Sports Oxyshot by delivering more oxygen in the blood prevents lactic acid build up by not having to resort to using glycogen as early allowing more repetitions and faster/better muscle adaptation. This also reduces the effect of DOMs after a hard session.”

Are there any other ways Sports Oxyshot or Oxygen for life can help me?
Sports Oxyshot can be taken after a sporting event or training session to help remove lactic acid which is produced during intense working conditions. By taking Sports Oxyshot after a session, the user’s recovery will be aided and therefore speed up.
Sports Oxyshot and Oxygen for life help eliminate viruses that breed in low oxygen areas of the body i.e. cold, flu viruses.
During intense exercise the body’s immune system is reduced allowing these viruses to take hold. Taking Sports Oxyshot daily not only allows the user to perform at a higher intensity but also helps ward off any cold, flu viruses that may try to take hold.
During long coach or plane journeys the body is using recycled air which is oxygen depleted. This will make an individual or whole team feel tired and unmotivated due to the body having oxygen depletion for a period of time. Sports Oxshot and Oxygen for life taken before the journey will oxygenate the blood allowing the individual or whole team to feel awake and full of energy once they step off the coach/plane.

Injuries?
When a player is injured the first thing they should do is have an oxygen mask on, this route of oxygen is the fastest into the system reducing recovery time tremendously. The only set back to this form of oxygen intake is the amount of time the oxygen then remains in the system which is limited. Sports Oxyshot has been shown to remain in the system for up to 4 hours after taking. This becomes very helpful in the long term after the initial use of an oxygen mask.

How
can Sports Oxyshot help a team's tactics?
Reported benefits from Sports Oxyshot are:
Improved aerobic capacity
Faster recovery
Heightened alertness
Better mental focus
Improved vision
More aerobic power
Longer sustained performance.
For a sports team the most important times in a game are the start, just before and after half time and the end. Sports Oxyshot starts to enter the system 30 mins after taking and actually peaks blood oxygen levels between 90 and 120 mins after taking. If a sports team take Sports Oxyshot 45 mins before a match at the start of the game they are alert and focused, just before and after half time one of the most important times for scoring they will be feeling fitter and still mentally focused due to the blood oxygen levels actually peaking rather then being depleted and at the end of the match blood oxygen levels will still be peaking making a team feel fitter and stronger then their opponents.
For individual sportsmen Sports Oxyshot can be taken to coincide with any point of your competition to peak at just the right time.

How much should I take?
You should take between 10-20ml (users over 100kg may require up to 30-40ml) depending on the duration and intensity of the exercise. It should be taken on an empty stomach at least 30 mins before you start.
Every user has a different response from sports oxyshot some feel a change in performance instantly others it can take multiple uses before any change in performance is noticed.

How do I incorporate it into my pre exercise eating/supplement regime?
Oxygensupply resident personal trainer/conditioner
Andy Peacock recommends:
3 hours prior
|
Wholemeal bread/pitta with salad and lean protein, Drink plenty of spring water |

Start taking fluid on board i.e. isotonic or sports drink
Andy personally recommends a carbohydrate rich drink which contains a small amount of protein. |
| TRAIN |
Drink fluid throughout |
| Post Train |
10ml Sports Oxyshot if required for recovery on empty stomach (liquid takes 30min to digest) |
30 min after taking your sports oxyshot you can have your post workout nutrition.

Does Sports Oxyshot & Oxygen 4 life work with medication or supplements?
Yes these products can be taken alongside any medication or supplements and still must be taken on an empty stomach 30mins prior to food, drink, medication or supplements.
Bodybuilders use the term “stacking” for using multiple supplements “Sports Oxyshot has great benefits when stacked with other supplements” says Andy Peacock
Andy recommends: Creatine, Whey Protein or any Mass gainer and Iron.

Are there any side affects?
No there are absolutely no side affects. If you take too much at one time you feel a slight upset stomach but this is very unlikely.
Oxygen helps remove deadly oxygen free radicals, destroys anaerobic bacteria, parasites and viruses.
Oxygen free radicals are one of the causes of premature ageing, people who smoke create a huge amount of these in the blood stream.
