Super-Oxygenated Water for Volunteers
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests whether drinking super-oxygenated water can safely boost blood oxygen levels, potentially aiding tissue healing and improving body functions. Participants will drink either the special water or regular water without knowing which one they receive. The trial aims to determine if super-oxygenated water can provide benefits similar to more complex oxygen therapies. Adults willing to drink the water and undergo simple health checks might be suitable for this trial. As an unphased trial, this study provides a unique opportunity to explore innovative treatments that could enhance overall health.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are taking experimental medications or have had major surgery in the last 30 days, you may not be eligible to participate.
What prior data suggests that super-oxygenated water is safe for ingestion?
Research has shown that super-oxygenated water is generally safe for people. Studies have examined its effects and found that it can provide oxygen in non-invasive ways. Although high oxygen levels can sometimes irritate the lungs or eyes, consuming super-oxygenated water in controlled amounts is safe for most individuals.
Some safety information notes that a rapid release of oxygen might cause an upset stomach. However, the amounts used in studies are much smaller, making these side effects unlikely for participants. Always follow the study guidelines and inform the study team if any discomfort occurs.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Super-Oxygenated Water is unique because it introduces a new delivery method for oxygen supplementation through ingestion, rather than traditional methods like inhalation or intravenous administration. This water is infused with a higher concentration of oxygen, aiming to enhance cellular oxygen levels directly through the digestive system. Researchers are excited about the potential for this method to offer a non-invasive, simple way to boost oxygen levels, which could be more convenient and accessible compared to standard oxygen therapies.
What evidence suggests that super-oxygenated water is effective for increasing blood oxygen levels?
Research suggests that super-oxygenated water, which participants in this trial may receive, might increase blood oxygen levels. One study found that drinking this water can raise blood oxygen levels and lower heart rate. However, other studies have shown no improvement in exercise performance or recovery. Some research even indicates it doesn't affect the body's response to exercise. Overall, the effectiveness of super-oxygenated water remains under study, with mixed results. Participants in this trial will be assigned to either the super-oxygenated water group or a placebo group receiving normal water.26789
