UNIVERSITY STUDY: EFFECT OF INHALING CONCENTRATED OXYGEN ON PERFORMANCE

For nearly a hundred years, various ways of inhaling oxygen in higher concentrations have been used to treat respiratory and circulatory problems. The results of the study indicate that inhaling concentrated oxygen may have a positive effect on short-term recovery processes.

AAL OXYGEN ANALYSIS REPORT

Some people ask if our Boost Oxygen canisters REALLY contain 95% pure oxygen. In fact, we regularly have them tested by laboratories for their content! We just got our latest 2020 report from Atlantic Analytical Laboratory (AAL), the number-one expert gas analysis laboratory in the northeast United States for nearly 50 years. Once again - 95% pure oxygen! See the results for yourself below! Boost Oxygen Oxygen Analysis Report from Atlantic Analytical Laboratory (The Gas Testing and Impurity Profiling Experts).    

 

OXYGEN AND COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE: THE TEMPORAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HYPEROXIA AND ENHANCED MEMORY

Oxygen administration coinciding with word presentation enhances word recall in humans, suggesting that elevated levels of circulating blood oxygen may be available to neural memory consolidation processes. This double-blind experiment examined the relationship between blood oxygen levels and cognitive performance when oxygen was inspired for 2 min at different times relative to a simple word recall task, forward digit span and backward digit span. Transient hyperoxia, measured by haemoglobin-bound oxygen, was evident following oxygen inspiration. Neither forward nor backward digit span was affected by oxygen administration. Word recall (12 min following word presentation) was enhanced when oxygen was administered 5 min prior to, immediately before or immediately following word presentation; but not 10 min prior to, 5 min following nor 10 min following, word presentation. These data suggest that oxygen administration can selectively enhance aspects of cognitive performance and support a hypothesis whereby supplemental blood oxygen is sequestered by neural mechanisms involved in memory consolidation.

COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE, HYPEROXIA, AND HEART RATE FOLLOWING OXYGEN ADMINISTRATION IN HEALTHY YOUNG ADULTS

It was recently established that supplemental oxygen administration significantly enhances memory formation in healthy young adults. In the present study, a double-blind, placebo-controlled design was employed to assess the cognitive and physiological effects of subjects’ in-spiration of oxygen or air (control) prior to undergoing simple memory and reaction-time tasks. Arterial blood oxygen saturation and heart rate were monitored during each of six phases of the experiment, corresponding to baseline, gas inhalation, word presentation, reaction time, distractor and word recall, respectively. The results confirm that oxygen administration significantly enhances cognitive performance above that seen in the air inhalation condition. Subjects who received oxygen recalled more words and had faster reaction times.
