What is Oxy-Gen?

The Oxy-Gen formula is a blend of natural ingredients that work together to maximize the delivery of oxygen to the cells of the body. This simple mechanism has an impact on performance on numerous levels. A higher oxygen level in the bloodstream facilitates cellular division for building and maintaining muscle mass, extends the duration of exertion, and cuts recovery time after exertion by re-oxygenating the cells.

One of the primary ingredients in Oxy-Gen Capsules is octacosanol. Octacosanol is a waxy form of alcohol, found naturally in minute quantities in a variety of grain and vegetable products like wheat germ and spinach, and is the primary component of policosanol, most often derived from sugar cane. This safe and natural compound has no adverse side affects, is only known to interact with one drug (carbidopa-levodopa, used in some Parkinson's patients), and there are no reports of overdosage.
The ergogenic or performance-enhancing benefits of octacosanol and policosanol have been documented in numerous clinical studies and research around the globe. In study after study, athletes that supplemented their diet with octacosanol demostrated superior athletic performance, increased muscle mass, improved reflexes, and faster recovery from exertion. Other studies have shown that octacosanol and policosanol can
* Lower LDL and total cholesterol levels in the blood
* Improve the body's ability to handle stress
* Improve sexual function and performance
* Improve heart function
* Decrease vascular constriction and lower blood pressure
* Elevate basal metabolism
* Increase the hypotensive effect of beta blockers
One of the chief benefits of policosanol and octacosanol is their ability to maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Studies have shown that policosanol can lower LDL cholesterol by as much as 20% and raise protective HDL levels by 10%. In studies comparing octacosanol against statin drugs like Lipitor, Zocor, Pravachol, Lescol, and Mevacor, octacosanol delivered results that were equal to or superior to the statin drugs. Statin drugs have been in the news a great deal lately, with several of them leaving the market due to adverse side effects. When you compare the risks of statin drugs (or the price), octacosanol is clearly the superior choice.

Octacosanol also inhibits the formation of blood clots. 75% of strokes are the clotting kind. In a comparison of aspirin and policosanol, aspirin was better at relieving one kind of platelet aggregation, but policosanol was better at inhibiting another. They work better together than either alone.
Oxy-Gen Capsules also act to increase exercise endurance because of its high Vitamin E content. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger. Vitamin E protects muscle tissue and DNA from damage, and immune function from oxidative stress. By preventing the buildup of lactic acid and increasing the body’s ability to store glucose as muscle glycogen, Oxy-Gen Capsules can improve muscular strength and endurance.

Octacosanol was first identified at the University of Illinois by Dr. Thomas K. Cureton, Jr., widely regarded as one of the foremost authorities on exercise and physical fitness. Dr. Cureton has published well over 1,000 scientific papers and books over more than 40 years. In 1944, Dr. Cureton was appointed as the Director of the Physical Fitness Research Laboratory, where he did extensive research on the effects of exercise on the physiology and maximizing athletic performance. His studies in swimmers, wrestlers, weight lifters, and track and field athletes demonstrated clearly that athletes that added octocosanol to their nutrient regimen developed superior strength, greater endurance, improved reaction time, and reduced recovery time.

Dr. Jack McEowen, Ph.D. came across his research in the early 90's, and was facinated by the potential of this compound. He developed and tested several different formulations before developing the original Oxy-Gen formula in 1995. In 2000, he re-designed the formula for animals and introduced the Oxy-Gen formula for livestock. It instantly caught the attention of of show people and livestock breeders, and by the end of the 2000 show season, it was apparent that animals fed Oxy-Gen consistently outperformed their competition in muscling, weight gains, conformation, and overall health.

Shortly thereafter, he redesigned the formula for the demands of performance horses, and again Oxy-Gen animals soared to the top. Horses fed Oxy-Gen developed superior topline and hindquarter muscling, improved respiration, faster recovery after competition, and showed dramatic improvements in in their competition times. Today, top competitors in every discipline from English to Western count on the original Oxy-Gen formula to build better equine athletes.

Human performance is equally improved, with superior muscle development, improved respiration, greater endurance, and decreased recovery time after exertion. When you add improved cholesterol levels, you have a supplement that everyone should add to their diet!
