A Randomized, Double-blinded and Placebo-controlled Study on Super-Oxygenated Water

Detailed Summary

Therapeutic delivery of additional Oxygen to blood stream via hyperbaric and extracorporeal oxygenation that raises blood Oxygen saturation level, apart from oxygenation in the lungs, is known to induce tissue repair, restore normal body functions and improve survival. Despite the clinical benefits obtained from these interventions, Oxygen supplementation is rather a medically involved process requiring access to specialized equipment including hyperbaric chambers, cardiac catheterization laboratory and extracorporeal oxygenators, and is not generally amenable for everyday use. The current prospective study will evaluate a non-invasive route for Oxygen delivery through ingestion of super-oxygenated water in adult volunteers. The participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two study groups viz. Inhale super-oxygenated water or placebo control normal water at 1:1 ratio. Neither the participants nor the study doctor will know the treatment assignment. Pre- and post-ingestion measurements will be conducted to evaluate effect of super-oxygenated water.
