I'm a respiratory therapist.....If you change the molecular structure of water, it ain't water anymore. Considering that the normal air we breath is only 21% oxygen and the rest mostly nitrogen along with a very small percentage of extraneous gases is all we breath, but is it possible to compress O2 into bottles, yes, under pressure, ... or in 100 % liquid form which is used for people who need it. Your hemoglobin can only carry so much oxygen anyway, but your blood can become hyperoxygenated with an increase of inspired O2 which aids in the healing process of ulcerated wounds, hence, wound clinics with hyperbaric chambers. Raising the % of inspired O2 directly changes the partial pressure of O2 in the body. A normal body under room air conditions should have a PO2 around 70. Bottomline, I'll have to ask a couple other therapists what they think of hyperoxygenated water.....I suppose some O2 could get absorbed through the capillaries that line the stomach if they're small enough...It's gimmicky Lastly, those so-called O2 spas where people sit around with a nasal cannula and sniff scented O2 is also just a trendy fad to part people form their mula....A normal body doesn't need extra O2.
