Liquid stabilized oxygen or simply liquid oxygen is not a replacement for the oxygen that we get from the air that we breathe. However, this doesnt necessarily mean that it doesnt have any functional use or any practical application for that matter. Here are 5 uses for liquid activated stabilized oxygen that will help drive home the point that it has its many uses, too.
1. Enhancement of skin care products
While many may question the logic of adding a few drops of stabilized liquid oxygen into various skin care formulations for the simple fact that the addition of such chemicals into the unique chemical constitution of these products has not been really studied carefully, there is a generally-held belief that the presence of oxygen on the skin can help neutralize oxygen-sensitive organisms while also facilitating the improved delivery of nutrients to the skin and its associated structures.
2. Neutralization of lactic acidosis
All cells in the body are dependent on oxygen for metabolism. This is especially true for muscle tissues because they are always in a state of partial contraction. However, there are instances when there is excessive amount of circulating hydrogen ions creating an acid environment. What happens is that some of the oxygen needed by the cells will be diverted to the free-floating hydrogen ions to form water and neutralize the acidity. Regrettably, since oxygen has been moved from the cell, the cell will have to utilize other means of energy production. This leads to the build-up of lactic acid, resulting in lactic acidosis. Giving stabilized oxygen helps prevent the buildup of lactic acid and the resultant lactic acidosis.
3. Instant water purification
There are many microorganisms that do not survive well in an environment that is rich in oxygen. This can have significant implications when drinking water in environments where the source of water is questionable. Adding several drops of stabilized oxygen can help kill the microorganisms present in the liquid and render it safe to drink. That being said, you can also use it to freshen up your pets drinking water.
4. Reduction of dental plaque
Dipping your toothbrush before putting on toothpaste can help in the reduction of plaque buildup. Dental plaque is mostly biofilm secreted by the microorganisms present in the oral cavity. The presence of stabilized oxygen in the toothbrush bristles can help create an environment that is detrimental to the growth of these microorganisms.
5. Oxygen supply in high altitude environments
Altitude sickness develops because of the rather thin air found in areas of high altitudes. This can bring a host of problems including light-headedness, headache, fatigue, and even dizziness. Since the main issue is the relatively low levels of oxygen in high altitudes that even if you breathe deep and fast you wont really be able to increase your oxygen intake, bringing a bottle or two of stabilized oxygen should help you get through the problem until you can breathe normally again.
Liquid oxygen can have its many uses, too. For the most part, whenever oxygen is needed, it should help.
