Facts and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is vitamin O?
Some people
claim oxygen to be vitamin
O. They suggest that many of the disease humans face today is due to
the lack of oxygen in our body. This vitamin O will therefore deliver
the needed oxygen to the tissues in our body.
Several companies market vitamin O for preventing or curing diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
It has been described as solution of deionized water and sodium chloride (salt) that is slightly alkaline (pH of 7.2). Another manufacturer claimed that the ingredient is a secret.
However, even if humans can absorb oxygen through eating oxygenated foods or liquids, it would not increase oxygen concentration in the bloodstream much.
As well, the blood returning to the lungs for re-oxygenation still contains lots of oxygen; the body could easily extract more oxygen out from the bloodstream before returning it back to the lungs.
Liquid oxygen does exist, but only at minus 183° C and cannot exist in a liquid state over minus 118.6° C.

FTC ruling against manufacturers of vitamin O
The
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) did file suit against Rose Creek Health
Products, Inc. (related to R-Garden Internationale) for making unproven
health
claims and was fined $375,000.
What about the claimed double-blinded research study?
One
website selling this "vitamin" claimed of a costly double-blinded
six-month study
done involving 60 test-subjects. We are still attempting to locate the
research study. If indeed it is an expensive double-blinded research
study, it would be foolish not to publish it.
Moreover, publishing this research paper would provide proof to the FTC that some of the claims made is validated scientifically.
