Does anyone use this? Was just wondering what peoples views are on it and if it works or not. It all sounds very interesting and has very positive write ups from professionals etc.

There was an article containing information on Oxyshot, i thought it was rathe rinteresting. I cannot seem to find the article, but i too have heard some great reviews and results from using it.
 
Umm very interesting...I think I would use it myself first to see if I gained any results from it... I suppose the more oxygen we can transport round our body the better performance, recoup. period etc... Wonder how much it is? A free trial would be nice!!

found price £27.99 for 250ml EKK!! you need 75 ml each "show" ie. 25ml before journey, 25ml 30 mins before comp. and 25ml after comp... works out quite expensive...
 
Having read through the info on it it sounds like total **** and a waste of money- there doesnt appear to be any scientific research to back it up. Certainly never heard of the red blood cells taking up oxygen via the GI tract before!!
 
Naw, you know what the judges are like... they probably wouldnt notice!!!

TEhe!!! JOKE TO ALL THE JUDGES OUT THERE ...HONEST INDIAN!!

The ability of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, as well as other tissues, to cope with reactive oxygen species (ROS) efflux in pathological events is determined partly by epithelial antioxidant levels. These levels are comprized of tissue antioxidant enzymes and low molecular weight antioxidants (LMWA). While glutathione levels and the activity of enzymatic antioxidants along the GI tract have been studied, the contribution of the overall LMWA to the total antioxidant capacity has not yet been determined. In this study the overall antioxidant activity in the mucosa/submucosa and muscularis/serosa of various sections along the small intestine and colon of the rat was evaluated by determining the reducing power, which reflects the total antioxidant activity derived from LMWA, using cyclic voltammetry. The activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase was also measured. The reducing power (total antioxidant activity) was higher in the mucosa/submucosa of the small intestine as compared to the mucosa/submucosa of the colon. Similarly, catalase and SOD activity in the mucosa/submucosa of the small intestine was significantly higher than in the mucosa/submucosa of the colon. Differences were also observed in the reducing power and SOD activity in the muscularis/serosa of the rat small intestine as compared to the colon. The low antioxidant capacity in the colon may facilitate reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated injury and lead to inflammatory diseases such as ulcerative colitis, specifically in the colon!!!
