Oxygen cocktail is great a way to normalize metabolic processes body and boost immunity, by saturating tissue cells with additional oxygen.
It will help you get rid of the constant feeling of fatigue and improve the functioning of your cardiovascular and nervous systems.
What is an oxygen cocktail and what is it made from?
A useful mixture with valuable properties is a substance based on a special syrup, which at home can be replaced with ordinary juice or fruit drink with the addition of foaming powder (as a rule, it is made from egg whites or licorice root).
The resulting mixture is placed in a special tall glass. Next, using an oxygen cartridge and a diffuser tube or a special oxygen concentrator, the liquid is saturated with O₂.
In a glass or a special container - a cocktail - a stable fluffy foam is formed, which is pleasant to enjoy in the heat, after visiting the pool or taking a hot bath without harm from hypothermia.
In order for an oxygen cocktail to bring maximum benefits, the syrup, juice or fruit drink must be chilled: cold liquids contain an order of magnitude more O₂ than warm ones. In addition, any degree of heating prevents the formation of stable foam, and the drink may simply melt before your eyes in a second or not come out at all.
Advice! During the cooking process, it is very important to ensure that the pores of the atomizer stone at the end of the diffuser tube are cleaned and distribute the oxygen flow evenly.
What does an oxygen cocktail consist of?
The composition of the cocktail, as it was fifty years ago and to this day, is quite simple and includes only three links, therefore it consists of:
- liquid base;
- foaming agent;
- oxygen.
Natural juices without pulp, sweetened water, herbal infusion, milk and other liquid products without gas can be used as a liquid base. Gas, like pulp, creates an obstacle to the formation of healthy, lush foam.
The foaming agent is raw chicken egg white and licorice. Despite the fact that half a century has passed and new, more effective foaming compounds have appeared, sometimes chicken egg white is still used, which many seek to replace with other compounds due to its tendency to cause allergic reactions. Formulations that use sodium lauryl sulfate should be avoided.
Methods for obtaining oxygen have now been significantly simplified, because for these purposes you can use a cylinder, concentrator, generator and other device capable of releasing gas containing at least 99% oxygen.
There are three variations for obtaining a mixture with lush foam:
- controller;
- mixer;
- aeration.
The first scheme is suitable for preschool and school, as well as health resort institutions:
- The controller is loaded with liquid base and composition.
- Mix everything until completely dissolved.
- Gas (oxygen) is supplied.
- Serve as foam forms.
The second variation is suitable for a drinks business:
- The liquid base is combined with the composition.
- Gas is supplied with simultaneous foaming using a mixer.
- Serve in portions.
Scheme of the third model:
- The container is loaded with a liquid base and composition.
- After mixing, an aeration tube is connected to the oxygen source.
- When the container is filled with foam, the process is stopped.
Nowadays it is not difficult to make a drink at home, because everything you need can be purchased at the retail chain.
The energy value of the drink directly depends on what elements are included in its composition - oxygen itself has no energy value, which is its advantage for those who want to lose weight. A mixture made from juice or milk will have an energy value close to three hundred kilocalories. The average drink contains in grams:
- 0.8/ proteins;
- 0.1/fat;
- 87.0/carbs.
Due to the higher content of carbohydrates in comparison with proteins and fats, the product can saturate the body, so it can be used as a snack between meals.
Oxygen cocktail - composition
The chemical composition of oxygen drinking is determined by the properties of the components that were used in its preparation.
Can be applied:
- natural juices, fruit drinks;
- milk;
- herbal decoctions and infusions;
- simple purified water.
The last two options are most often found in preschool institutions, medical organizations and health resorts.
The calorie content of the cocktail can reach approximately 15% of the daily value, or about 1300 kJ (about 310–330 kcal). At the same time, the healthy product contains no fat, minimal protein content and a lot of carbohydrates.
This healthy drink has basic and additional components. The basic components are oxygen and a foaming agent, which promotes its transformation into bubbles. Only oxygen that meets the requirements of GOST and international standards is used. Juices, tinctures, and milk are suitable as topping additives.
Benefits and harms
Of course, it is impossible to say unequivocally that this drink is a panacea and cannot harm anyone. In addition, regularity and reasonable use are always important. The benefits of an oxygen cocktail are reduced to zero when there is no more foam and only liquid remains - so there is no point in delaying its use.
Of course, we are not talking about any serious harm, but the lack of benefit in this case may well be considered as such. And yet scientists insist on the indispensability of this product in some cases. With its help, athletes regain shape and prepare for competitions. In a word, it’s just a miracle, not a drink.
There is only one, and it is an allergic reaction. Some foaming ingredients or juices may well be strong irritants, and in this case you will have to be more careful when choosing a drink. And, of course, moderation should be observed, since the recommended dose for an ordinary healthy person is three servings per day. After all, the main ingredient in a cocktail is a strong oxidizing agent, so don’t get carried away with its use.
In addition, people with respiratory failure, gastrointestinal diseases, asthma and blood pressure disorders are best advised to consult a doctor before buying an oxygen cocktail. Benefit and harm are always nearby, so you should consider your own condition.
Expectant mothers are one of the categories of the population that is very difficult to treat due to the extremely limited range of drugs available for use. And in some cases, a magic drink helps out. The benefit of an oxygen cocktail for pregnant women is, at a minimum, that it can relieve the discomfort of toxicosis in the first trimester.
Well, the benefit of an oxygen cocktail for children is that such stimulation greatly helps them cope with increased stress at school and stay in a great mood. So after all the homework, you still have the strength to play, run and have fun with friends.
The list of beneficial benefits of drinking an oxygen cocktail is quite impressive:
- Due to its properties, the product has a beneficial effect on the metabolic process in the body, satisfies hunger well and is useful for normalizing weight.
Warning! An oxygen cocktail for gastritis should be used with caution: it can be harmful and can aggravate the symptoms of the acid form of the disease. - The increased O₂ content in the product helps improve the tone of the cardiovascular system, and is beneficial in the fight against headaches and symptoms of low blood pressure (hypotension).
- An oxygen cocktail for diabetes is indicated for patients with high blood sugar up to four times a day. This is due to the benefits of oxygen foam: it delivers gas to the digestive tract, from where it is absorbed and enters the liver. There, O₂ helps to reduce the likelihood of harmful fatty infiltration and improve the absorption of glucose into tissues, resulting in a decrease in blood sugar levels.
- The properties of this healthy cocktail are great for those suffering from hypoxia. Licorice Oxygen Cocktail provides exceptional benefits for strengthening the nervous and immune systems.
- Constant consumption of an oxygen cocktail with beneficial properties stabilizes a person’s emotional state, relieves insomnia, strengthens the immune system, and has a positive effect on the condition of the skin.
- Oxygen cocktails are excellent antioxidants that provide health benefits. This property is actively used to eliminate the harm of nicotine addiction, even among long-time smokers. The cocktail allows you to clear the airways and lungs of harmful chemical compounds in a relatively short period of time and reduce addiction.
Children need a lot of useful oxygen, since they are very active and spend a lot of energy every day on games, walks, communication with each other and on the learning process. In addition, in the city, children are quite vulnerable due to the harm of an unfavorable environment.
Benefits of an oxygen cocktail for preschool children:
- helps to better cope with daily stress on the body;
- increases resistance to pathogenic bacteria, viruses and circulating seasonal infections that cause harm to health;
- smoothes the symptoms of hyperactivity.
Attention! For children prone to violent emotional manifestations, a healthy oxygen drink is recommended after consultation with a pediatrician for regular use in order to reduce anxiety, to increase concentration; the properties of the product are also useful for eliminating neuroses.
During puberty, adolescents may experience hormonal instability, which can harm the skin: acne may occur. In such cases, it is recommended to use an oxygen cocktail in order to stimulate the process of collagen production in the body. The properties of such therapy are beneficial for activating skin regeneration.
Attention! To avoid harm from side effects, it is recommended to first consult with a doctor in order to correctly include a beneficial oxygen agent in complex therapy.
Like any food product, oxygen medicine has its own limitations in use. For example, shakes made with milk or whey may be harmful to children with lactose intolerance. You should also not use the cocktail if you have urolithiasis, stomach ulcers or bronchial asthma.
Important! Caution should be exercised when handling products prepared using raw egg whites. When using it, it is impossible to talk about unambiguous benefits, since it is impossible to exclude the risk of developing salmonellosis. It is better to offer children a similar product with a different foaming base.
Before offering your child a drink with oxygen, you need to make sure that the product will not harm him: the baby should not have a food allergy, for example, to orange juice or other natural ingredients it contains.
According to reviews from doctors, the benefits of an oxygen cocktail for the female body during pregnancy are obvious: an increase in the volume of blood circulation in expectant mothers implies an increase in the concentration of O₂ for its sufficient saturation.
For nursing mothers, a useful oxygen supplement can serve as a good help during so-called lactation crises (manifested in a decrease in the amount of milk, observed approximately once a month). Oxygen saturation tends to activate the area of the brain responsible for sufficient production of mother's milk in the gland intended for this.
Harm from the specific properties of an oxygen cocktail most often occurs when it is used incorrectly and the safety measures described above are not followed.
It is important to understand that you need to consume the product gradually, preferably with a spoon, since hasty consumption of a cocktail through an insufficiently wide straw can cause a burn to the esophagus.
There are a number of contraindications for the use of oxygen products by patients with severe pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract.
The product is harmful to people with a high fever or in the presence of an active inflammatory process - due to the general tonic effect and effect on metabolism, the properties of the foamy delicacy aggravate such conditions.
Warning! Those who control weight should remember that a diet that involves consuming exclusively an oxygen cocktail must be agreed with the attending physician and last no more than 2 days, since such a two-day food restriction is equivalent to 7 days of classical fasting.
There are two types of contraindications to drinking an oxygen drink: absolute and relative. The second type of contraindications is temporary and allows the use of the cocktail after the listed pathologies have been eliminated.
Absolute contraindications for use:
- hypertension;
- adhesions of internal organs;
- peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, severe gastrointestinal pathologies;
- chronic gastritis;
- asthma;
- urolithiasis and gallbladder diseases;
- presence of allergies or hypersensitivity to one of the ingredients of the drink.
Relative contraindications for use:
- intoxication, severe poisoning;
- high temperature, active inflammatory process;
- low blood sugar;
- bloating, flatulence, temporary acute disruption of the gastrointestinal tract;
- drinking more than 300 ml of cocktail per day.
In the absence of contraindications, the therapeutic effect of the drink is incredibly high. There are few reasons to stop using it, especially in comparison with other medications. An oxygen cocktail cannot cause harm only if its use does not occur against the background of the following diseases:
- Exacerbation of an attack of bronchial asthma of any etiology. Whatever the cause of Asthma, its acute course precludes even inhalation and oxygen enrichment.
- Allergy to components of the composition. It sometimes contains herbal infusions, gelatin, flavored syrup or other flavoring. They provoke individual intolerance.
- Decreased lung volume. In addition to asthma, there are diseases that reduce the amount of air entering the tissues - for example, obstructive syndrome or “smoker's lung”.
- Ulcer. An irritated stomach will negate all the benefits of an oxygen cocktail. It will react aggressively to dyes or mixtures with sour berries and protein.
A drink with magic “bubbles” is inexpensive, so even considering the absence of potent ingredients, it is worth periodically including it in your diet. General support for the body, an increase in the body's defenses, a surge of strength - this is a small part of the beneficial properties of the product. With a minimal list of side effects, it provides maximum benefit for almost any disease.
What you need to know
Oxygen cocktail is a fashionable trend in the field of medicine and cooking. It is prepared on the basis of berry fruit drinks, fruit nectars, syrups and milk with the addition of a foaming agent. This is a special mixture that, when passing through an oxygen mixer, is capable of forming a stable foam.
The uniqueness of the drink is that it is enriched with saturated oxygen, and not with atmospheric air, which largely consists of nitrogen. Thanks to the stable foam, the gas mixture enters the stomach cavity, where the process of absorption into the blood occurs.
Air consists of 87% nitrogen.
The drink includes three main elements:
- oxygen;
- food foaming agent;
- flavor filler.
The gas mixture can be saturated through a medical oxygen chamber or a portable cylinder. The following can be used as a flavoring agent:
- natural juice (nectar of cherries, pears, apples, grapes);
- milk;
- syrup;
- purified water;
- herbal and plant infusions.
The foaming component is a natural substance that is absolutely safe for the human body. Until recently, licorice root or raw chicken protein served as a foaming agent.
The drink can be made based on fruit or berry juice, as well as herbal decoction
When answering the question about the calorie content of a cocktail, it is worth considering the ingredients that are included in its composition: juice, milk or water. The average value per 100 g varies within 310 kcal, of which:
- carbohydrates – 77.67 g;
- proteins – 1.7 g;
- fat – 0.02 g.
The daily intake of an oxygen drink for an adult is no more than 2 servings of 500 ml. The duration of the course is determined by the doctor individually, but it should not exceed 15 days.
A repeated cycle of taking an oxygen cocktail can be started after a 14-day break.
A drink that is enriched with oxygen has beneficial and dangerous properties. Scientific research has proven that regular intake of an oxygen drink increases a person’s performance, strengthens his sleep and makes the body resistant to stressful situations.

For children
Regularly in kindergartens and schools, parents are offered health courses for children, the main element of which is an oxygen cocktail.
Vitamin foam has a positive effect on the immune and nervous systems, helping to improve mood and well-being.
Regular consumption of such drinks improves memory, relieves stress after mental stress, and also normalizes the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory system.
Child's age | Daily norm, ml |
3-6 years | 150 |
7-10 years | 200 |
10-14 years | 250 |
Treatment should begin after the child has undergone a medical examination. The cocktail should not be consumed by children with allergies and children under 3 years of age.
For pregnant
Women who are pregnant can take oxygen drinks to prevent fetal hypoxia. However, it is worth remembering that it is worth starting a course of treatment in agreement with a personal obstetrician-gynecologist and under his strict supervision.
Carrying out oxygen therapy courses will protect your baby from lack of oxygen, as well as strengthen your immune system and improve your well-being. Acidic airy foam based on apple or cherry juice can relieve a woman of toxicosis.
Subtleties of foam
Although the oxygen cocktail consists exclusively of natural ingredients, there are certain contraindications to its use. It is prohibited for people suffering from the following diseases:
- allergic reaction to the components of the composition;
- stomach ulcer;
- inflammation of the intestines;
- hypertension;
- bronchial asthma;
- adhesive disease of the digestive tract.
You can cause harm to your health if you use the foamy drink incorrectly. Ideally, it should be taken with a teaspoon in small portions.
To recreate stable foam you will need:
- preparation apparatus (cocktail maker);
- foaming agent (licorice root or egg white);
- oxygen tank:
- composition mixture (juice, fruit drink, herbal infusion).
The use of carbonated liquids and natural juices with pulp is prohibited. It is also worth paying attention to the composition of the gas mixture cylinder, which should contain no more than 90% oxygen and 10% nitrogen.
To prepare a tonic drink you need to take:
- Apple nectar – 50 ml
- Cherry juice – 30 ml
- Foaming agent – 2 g
How to do:
- Mix two types of juice at room temperature in a cocktail or oxygen mixer.
- Add a foaming agent to the resulting mixture.
- Close the cocktail bottle with a lid and supply oxygen from the can.
The finished cocktail has a sweet and sour taste and will give you a boost of energy and vigor for the whole day.
OXYCO can be bought at the supermarket
Mixtures for preparing an oxygen drink have the following features:
- pleasant aroma of fruit additives;
- bright and expressive taste;
- convenient packaging with a sealed lid;
- strict quality control and product certification.
When choosing an oxygen cocktail in a package, you must check the date of its manufacture and the composition, which excludes the content of harmful components.
A home-made drink cannot be stored, since its air cushion tends to quickly settle. Ready-made mixtures for preparing oxygen cocktails can be stored for 1 year at temperatures from 18˚С to 20˚С.
Where to buy in Russia
Until recently, the oxygen cocktail could only be consumed in medical institutions. Today it is offered in kindergartens, schools, sanatoriums, oxy bars, cafes and fitness clubs. There are specialized online stores for respiratory equipment and pharmacies, where you can also find a “miracle drink.”
Products | price, rub. |
Oxygen cocktail “Family”, 48 servings | 1990 |
Oxygen cocktail “Prana”, 20 servings | 833 |
Oxygen cocktail OXYCO, 25 servings | 750 |
According to clinical studies, 1 serving of an oxygen cocktail is as effective as walking in a coniferous forest for several hours.
What are the benefits of an oxygen cocktail - expert opinion
To find out whether an oxygen cocktail is useful, the opinions of doctors and scientists are taken into account. They believe that the oxygen in the mixture is completely different from that which enters the body during breathing. It is enriched with ions that activate chemical reactions between different components of the composition. During whipping in a mixer or aerator, an easily digestible foam is formed, which becomes a conductor for vitamins and medicinal extracts.
The benefit of a drink enriched with oxygen molecules lies in its effect on the body:
- strengthening immunity;
- increased performance;
- the product normalizes sleep and stimulates blood pressure;
- systematic use eliminates chronic fatigue;
- activates cellular metabolism;
- removes toxic substances from the body;
- improves the appearance of the epidermis, hair shafts, and nail plates.
It has been proven that oxygen is still absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, which means that these effects do not apply to the “placebo” effects of parenteral oxygen therapy.
Useful and healing properties
The benefit of such a cocktail is to saturate the body with pure oxygen. Entering the stomach, and then into the intestines, oxygen from the drink comes into contact with the mucous membranes of these organs and is gradually absorbed, like other nutrients. In this case, the oxygen entering the blood is not bound by hemoglobin, but directly enters the red blood cells, which deliver this oxygen to various parts of the body and organs.
This additional oxygenation (oxygen saturation) brings great benefits:
- fatigue decreases;
- metabolic processes are optimized;
- immunity is activated;
- the condition of the skin and hair improves.
These and many other positive effects of drinking an oxygen cocktail make it a very popular drink.
The benefits and harms of an oxygen cocktail for children and pregnancy
It is especially recommended for children and pregnant women. Both are particularly sensitive to hypoxia . In order to stimulate the normal development of growing organisms, an oxygen cocktail is proposed.
For pregnant women and children
The average calorie content of the product is about 300 Kcal per 100 g. There are also dietary recipes that include syrups and herbal decoctions without sugar, then the energy value of the “bubbles” is reduced to 35-50 Kcal per 100 g. For example, licorice root, gelatin fillers and Chamomile decoction does not harm the figure.
You can get the maximum benefit from the product only by knowing how to take the oxygen cocktail. It is prescribed to children from two years of age, but it is forbidden to drink it more than once or twice a day. In order not to disturb the gastric mucosa, drink the drink in small sips and a couple of hours after eating. The course can last 10-14 days. You can repeat the appointment after a few months.
An oxygen cocktail will be most beneficial during active daytime hours. This is a fairly effective remedy with tonic properties, so after drinking an oxygen drink in the evening there is a risk of not falling asleep at the usual time.
In order to preserve the beneficial properties, you should refrain from stirring the cocktail after preparation: this destroys the bubbles that form the foam, and oxygen evaporates.
Advice! This healthy cocktail is best consumed over a two-week course, no more than one or two servings per day.
Before or after meals
On the one hand, if you drink an oxygen drink on an empty stomach, this can cause harm to the intestinal mucosa and its unpleasant manifestations in the form of flatulence.
On the other hand, drinking a cocktail during or immediately after a meal is also not very healthy: difficulties may arise with its absorption, which will be indicated by bloating and a feeling of nausea.
Parameter | Children | Adults |
Portion volume | from three to six years – 150.0 ml; from six to eleven years – 200.0 ml; from eleven to fourteen years – 250.0 ml. | from two hundred to three hundred milliliters |
Number of appointments per day | One | Three |
Course duration | Ten to fourteen days | Fourteen days |
Break duration | Four to eight weeks | Four to six weeks |
For adults and children, there is a limit on the number of uses during the day. It should be noted that the drink is not prescribed to children under three years of age.
Regardless of the age group, the dish is consumed with a spoon, measuredly, stretching the glass for three to five minutes. This measure promotes uniform absorption of oxygen, and drinking can lead to abdominal bloating and discomfort instead of benefit. Only compliance with all the rules will give the expected effect. The product should not be stored - within a few minutes the foam turns back into syrup, despite the addition of stabilizing components.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned positive effect of the drink on the body should be expected only with systematic use - a one-time use will not give anything except the pleasant taste of the foam.
If such a remedy is not prescribed by the local gynecologist, you should first consult, because introducing new foods into the mother’s diet is carried out only under the supervision of a doctor. The drink has a special benefit if the mother has bad habits (alcohol, smoking), when the body’s need for oxygen increases.
For nursing mothers, you should adhere to the following rule: the drink should be milk-based; the presence of citrus juices and other components that can cause allergies is highly undesirable.
Indications and contraindications
The oxygen cocktail is indicated for use by residents of large cities, workers in hazardous industries, office workers, as well as those who spend most of the day indoors. In addition, the drink has valuable properties that have a beneficial effect on pregnant women: it alleviates toxicosis and, in some cases, can be recommended to eliminate fetal hypoxia.
It is also indicated for older people to stimulate and activate vital functions. An oxygen cocktail after training returns expended energy, restoring strength in athletes. Prescribed as a tonic after competitions and training.
But, in addition to its indications, the oxygen cocktail also has contraindications, like any other drug that can have a strong effect on the human body. First of all, nutritionists and doctors do not recommend this drink to patients suffering from hypertension, bronchial asthma, body intoxication, cholelithiasis, respiratory failure, and ulcers. In addition, for people prone to various allergic reactions, an oxygen cocktail can do more harm than good.
How to make an oxygen cocktail at home
In fact, you can make the drink at home, and you will save a lot of money, because you will need a device that synthesizes oxygen purified from impurities, or a cylinder containing the required gas. It is worth considering that the simplest devices that can disperse foam from air bubbles will not work:
- ready (will cost a considerable amount);
- made with your own hands.
If you plan to constantly carry out oxygen therapy at home and do not want to bother with making a device, purchase ready-made equipment, but be prepared for the fact that it is not cheap.
For those who want to save money, as we have already found out, pumps for tires and balls, which do not generate pure molecules, but take them from the environment unchanged, are absolutely not suitable. For these purposes, you will also have to spend money to purchase one of the following devices from the pharmacy chain:
- an oxygen cylinder (also not cheap);
- oxygen cushion;
- a specialized spray bottle for making cocktails (the best option).
The last method is the simplest and most accessible, but, regardless of the variation of the device, do not forget about safety precautions.
There are specialized kits on sale, but the quality of the resulting drink directly depends on the ingredients used by the manufacturer. More details about this type of device and its components in the next section, but now let's figure out what to do next if we managed to get a source of pure oxygen.
The first thing to do is to make a solution of licorice root, following the preparation instructions:
- Pour one tablespoon of raw material into one glass of boiling water.
- Leave for twenty minutes.
- Pass through cheesecloth.
- Dilute the resulting mixture with one glass of chilled boiled water.
When the licorice root solution is ready, follow the diagram:
- In a glass with a volume of three hundred milliliters, place juice without pulp or fruit drink, licorice solution.
- Turn on the mixer and mix the mixture for thirty seconds.
- Connect the gas source to the mixture through a tube.
- Without stopping stirring, introduce oxygen.
- When fluffy foam forms, stop stirring and oxygen flow.
This scheme is suitable for home use. All components can be found on sale in the form of a ready-made set, and spum mixtures and syrups are also presented separately. Both components (spum mixture and liquid syrup) must be combined to prepare a cocktail. The process should be performed with utmost care to avoid possible injury in the kitchen.
Spum mixture
Spum mixture acts as a foaming agent and contains natural ingredients. You can purchase this component of the drink via the Internet. As a rule, such Spoom mixtures are packages weighing two grams and consist of:
- dry egg white;
- ascorbic acid;
- powdered sugar;
- rosehip extract.
To prepare a drink with this component you will need:
- Add a liquid base, which can be natural juice or fruit drink.
- Sprinkle the contents of the package onto the liquid base.
- Mix.
- Connect through a tube to an oxygen source.
- When the cocktail is ready, turn off the gas flow.
In some cases, it is possible to use juice as a base, but the pulp should be avoided - in this case, the drink will be bitter and the process of foaming will be difficult.
The addition of syrup to the mixture is necessary so that the resulting foam lasts for several minutes. Otherwise, in the absence of this component, the foam may fall off before the buyer has time to absorb it. The base of syrups can be:
- berries;
- fruits;
- milk;
- herbs with anti-cold properties;
- herbs leading to weight loss.
You can make this syrup yourself:
- prepare juice;
- add one part sugar to one part liquid;
- Boil syrup from berry or fruit juice for thirty minutes.
When using herbs, you need to make an infusion. Making your own syrup will help you avoid preservatives and artificial additives, which manufacturers often enrich products with to extend shelf life. If you are unable to prepare it yourself, you can purchase ready-made syrup, and when purchasing it, you should pay attention to the composition.
Making a healthy oxygen cocktail is possible at home.
In this case you will need:
- an oxygen cartridge with an O₂ concentration of 90% or more (available for free sale, the price is equivalent to $10–12 for 16 l);
- foaming composition;
- juice, fruit drink or syrup;
- a special container – a cocktail glass – or just a tall glass;
- diffuser tube.
Cooking process:
- Pour approximately 100 ml of liquid into a glass and stir 1-2 teaspoons of foaming agent in it.
- After this, the diffuser tube is attached with one side to a can of O₂, and the other is lowered into a glass with the mixture.
- They turn a special lever cap on the can (or simply press it), and oxygen begins to saturate the liquid in the glass, which results in the formation of thick and stable foam.
- As soon as the foam reaches the edges of the glass, the lever-lid on the can or the latch of the diffuser tube is returned to its original position, blocking the access of oxygen.
Many of those who have fallen in love with oxygen cocktails seriously and for a long time decide to acquire their own special device - an oxygen concentrator. You can install a small oxygen concentrator in a standard kitchen, but it should be a low-power unit - 1 or 1.5 l/min.
To prepare a drink in the machine you will need:
- oxygen cocktail;
- 3 shares of chilled water;
- 1 share of syrup or juice without pulp;
- 1-2 teaspoons foaming agent.
- Pour water and syrup into the cocktail container, close it and connect it to the oxygen concentrator.
- Connect the concentrator to the network, set the oxygen production rate to 1–1.5 liters per minute.
- By opening the supply of O₂ to the container using a special device in the connecting tube, you can see how oxygen bubbles exit into the cocktail from the porous stone-spray, that is, the process of foaming occurs.
- Open the tap in the cocktail maker and place a glass under it to collect the foam.
In a tall plastic or glass glass with a volume of 0.5 liters you need to prepare a liquid mixture:
- rosehip decoction (100 ml);
- natural honey (1 teaspoon);
- foaming agent based on licorice root.
Preparation:
- Thoroughly mix the honey in the decoction and add a foaming agent from licorice root to the resulting healthy base.
- Place the liquid in a cocktail glass.
- Using an oxygen canister or oxygen concentrator, saturate the mixture with O₂ until the foam rises to the edges of the glass.
To prepare a fresh, invigorating, airy elixir you will need:
- lemon – 50 g;
- ginger – grated piece, about 100 g;
- apple – 100 g;
- parsley – about 60 g;
- 200 ml chilled drinking water.
Cooking technology:
- Mix the ingredients and place in a food processor or chopper for one and a half minutes.
- Dilute the resulting pulp with 200 ml of chilled drinking water.
- Place the resulting substance in a cocktail glass.
- Saturate the composition with oxygen using an oxygen canister or concentrator until the foam rises to the edges of the glass.
Security measures
- If you decide to use an oxygen concentrator or air cans when preparing your favorite delicacy, it is useful to ensure that the entire process is carried out as far as possible from open flames or heating panels.
- When creating an airy masterpiece, you cannot use gas-containing drinks or alcohol as a liquid base.
- The oxygen cocktail should be consumed immediately after preparation; it cannot be stored or frozen.
- There is no need to drink the product in one gulp or in too frequent sips - this will not allow the product to be properly absorbed and will harm digestion. For the same reason, avoid consuming oxygen composition on an empty stomach or while eating.
- If you have a food allergy, protein intolerance or other substance, you must make sure that there are no dangerous components among the ingredients of the oxygen treat. You should carefully study the composition if you purchased a standard set in a store or pharmacy, the ingredients of which were not selected individually.
How much does pleasure cost?
At the moment, the benefits of selling an oxygen cocktail have already been appreciated not only by pharmacies, but also by shopping centers and other establishments. In addition, the so-called oxy-bars, where visitors are offered many subtypes of these drinks, are also gaining popularity. For those who are interested in how much an oxygen cocktail costs, we can say that, on average, in pharmacies offering this drink, its price is 30-40 rubles per 500 ml.
