Read on.

Movie stars who have experienced the benefits are Uma Thurman, Calvin Klein, Cindy Crawford, Tom Cruise and Christy Turlington.
Why oxygen? Don’t you breathe it every day? Your body would rather get 95% oxygen but can’t. Usually your body breathes in a mere 21% oxygen along with other garbage.
Like many oxygen machines in hospitals, the oxygen bar filters out the "junk" in the surrounding air, such as carbon monoxide and other chemicals, and then delivers an uninterrupted flow of 95% oxygen into your body.
Benefits of 95% pure Oxygen have been stated as:

Enhances physical performance
Replaces depleted oxygen levels in your lungs and blood
Helps to recover your body between your workouts
Improves the body’s ability to burn fat
Increases alertness
Improves concentration
Boosts your energy levels
Invigorates you
Helps reduce symptoms of the common cold
Relieves symptoms associated with sinus conditions
Improves the way you look (puts the color back in your face)
Boosts your immune system
Manages Stress and Relaxes You
1. Helps relax muscles after a workout
2. Helps relax your body after a stressful day or right after a stressful situation
Helps relieve pain, associated (overall) effects and the number of occurrences of:
1. Headaches
2. Migraines
3. Cluster Headaches
4. Tension Headaches
Helps reduce the aging process in skin
Promotes restful sleep
Helps you recover from jet lag

the ones that are real and not fake are far from a "gimmick"..most of the air we breathe is heavily polluted...oxygen feeds our muscles

They have oxygen bars about every five feet in Vegas. Usually they're pretty empty, or, crowded by a group of drunk people.

The average person has a blood oxygenation level of 98-99%. Do you think increasing that to say 99.9% for a couple of hours is going to make any difference?

BTW, "Having experienced the benefits" is equivocal to saying "Have tried it before".

**oaktownboy** · 03-09-2006, 02:24 PM

bodybuilders aren't "average" people...it also depends whether u live in a rural or heavily urban area

**Dale Mabry** · 03-09-2006, 05:24 PM

But, would you think that .9% more blood oxygenation would make a difference, also keeping in mind that it never dips below 90% and that the bottleneck occurs at the extraction rate of the muscle, not in the amount the blood carries.

its is a gimmick to stick them in a club full of drugged up drunk people, do you really think a few minutes of extra oxygen is gonna make a big difference to your health

**maniclion** · 03-09-2006, 07:22 PM

I'd rather get use some EPO and then hang out at the oxygen bar.

The stupidity of the average American is a cash cow.

I've seen those! I'm thinking they are pushing "it'll cure your hangover....REALLY" sales pitch.

I think the're crap

thoug u ave people who have asthma, and other ealth issue with a level of 93-97, so upping this to 99, is a 2-6% increase.

It's irrelevant, the level is constantly around that number so that is not the limiting factor, extraction rate is.

Its BS, yes we would all benefit from breathing healthier air but its not feasible that we all walk around with air tanks. And this is just another trend like bottled water so businessmen can turn a 500% profit.

These oxygen bars are useless, just as applying an oxygen mask to someone who's having a panic/heart attack, it makes people believe they are getting something extra.

We've evolved (not Intelligently Designed) sufficiently that our saturation % is near perfect for our bodies.

You HAD to throw this in to make yourself look like a complete dong-clown?

FishOrCutBait - I threw it in because it's on a par with oxygen bars.
