Supplemental Oxygen Can Remedy both Low and High Carbon Dioxide Blood Levels to Improve Endurance during exercise.
The conventional wisdom that we have all heard “exercise more and lose weight” is quite well established in our community at this time, but very few people succeeded with this seeming simple piece of advice. This white paper suggests that often more is needed in order to succeed with this simple statement. It is the straight forward addition of supplemental recreational oxygen that helps the body remove any excess carbon dioxide, replace any lost oxygen, and form carbon dioxide to aid delivery of oxygen to the cells. Therefore, the supplemental oxygen establishes a balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide inside the body.
