Liquid Oxygen Drops: A Complete Guide to What They Are, How They Work, and How to Choose One

If you’ve been researching oxygen supplements, you’ve probably encountered a confusing tangle of names — liquid oxygen drops, stabilized oxygen, oxygen water, bio-available liquid oxygen, ASO. They all refer to the same general product category: a liquid supplement you ingest to increase the oxygen available in your bloodstream.

What’s less obvious — and far more important — is that not all of these products work the same way. Some are genuinely safe and effective. Others range from useless to outright dangerous. This guide covers all of it: what liquid oxygen drops actually are, the different types on the market, how the safe ones work in the body, what to look for when shopping, and why we believe OxygenSuperCharger™ is the best option available.

What Are Liquid Oxygen Drops?

Liquid oxygen drops — also called bio-available liquid oxygen, stabilized oxygen, stabilized oxygen drops, oxygen water, ASO (Activated Stabilized Oxygen), or Vitamin O — are liquid dietary supplements that deliver additional oxygen to the body when you ingest them.

Natural water contains a small amount of oxygen held in suspension. Liquid oxygen drops are different: they contain a concentrated, stabilized form of oxygen dissolved in the liquid, which your body absorbs into the bloodstream either through the digestive tract or sublingually (under the tongue — more on that below).

The goal is straightforward: support the body’s oxygen levels to help maintain healthy cellular function, energy production, and overall wellness.

Why Oxygen Matters

We breathe automatically, so it’s easy to underestimate how central oxygen is to every system in the body. Without oxygen, the human body cannot survive more than a few minutes. Beyond survival, the quantity of available oxygen affects energy production, cellular function, mental clarity, and physical performance. Every cell in the body uses oxygen to produce energy through a process called cellular respiration — making it the single most essential input for everything your body does.

The Many Names for the Same Type of Product

Part of the confusion in this category comes from the sheer number of names in use. You may see any of the following on a label or in a search result:

• Liquid oxygen drops
• Stabilized oxygen drops
• Stabilized oxygen
• Bio-available liquid oxygen
• Activated Stabilized Oxygen (ASO)
• Oxygen water
• Vitamin O (a brand name, not an actual vitamin)
• Premium concentrated liquid oxygen
• Liquid oxygen supplement

These terms often refer to the same general product concept — a liquid supplement intended to increase oxygen in the body. But critically, the technology behind them can be very different. The name alone tells you nothing about whether a product is safe or effective.

The Four Types of Liquid Oxygen Products — and Why It Matters

This is the most important thing to understand before buying any liquid oxygen supplement. There are four main categories, and only one of them is safe to take as directed.

1. Hydrogen Peroxide Products

Some products sold under names like “liquid oxygen” are actually hydrogen peroxide solutions. The FDA has warned consumers not to purchase or use hydrogen peroxide internally. The high-strength form — known as food-grade hydrogen peroxide — can be fatal if ingested.

Internal use of hydrogen peroxide can cause ulcers and gastrointestinal irritation, inflame blood vessels, create bubbles in blood vessels (known as gas embolisms), and trigger potentially life-threatening allergic reactions. These are not fringe risks. Serious injuries and deaths have occurred as a result.

2. “Old Technology” Stabilized Oxygen

The industry calls the second category “old technology” stabilized oxygen. Despite the name, these products do not contain any oxygen. Instead, they rely on a chemical process: once ingested, their formula reacts with stomach acid to produce oxygen inside the body.

The problem is that the chemicals required to do this are caustic. Many of these products contain chlorine dioxide — a substance used as a pesticide and bleaching agent — and have a pH in the caustic range of 13.0 or higher. For context, a pH of 13 or above is corrosive to human tissue. That is why you must dilute these products before use; taken straight, they can burn.

A simple rule of thumb: if the label says you must dilute the product before use, it is likely old technology.

These products are not inherently fraudulent — they may produce some oxygen in the body — but the chemical pathway they use creates significant risks and side effects that the new technology eliminates entirely.

3. Ozone (O3) — “Activated Oxygen” That Isn’t Stabilized

People researching liquid oxygen supplements sometimes encounter ozone therapy, and it’s worth understanding why ozone is a different category entirely — and why OxygenSuperCharger™ is not ozone.

People sometimes call ozone (O3) “activated oxygen” because it contains three oxygen atoms instead of the two found in the O2 we breathe. That third atom is the key to understanding both ozone’s power and its problem.

How ozone works

The third oxygen atom in ozone is chemically unstable. It readily detaches and bonds with other molecules — a process called oxidation. This makes ozone an extremely potent sterilant and disinfectant; it can destroy bacteria, viruses, and odors by oxidizing them. After the reaction, ozone essentially reverts to ordinary O2, making it environmentally friendly.

The free radical problem

That unstable third atom is also a free radical. Free radicals are extremely short-lived — often existing for just fractions of a millisecond — but during that brief window they cause oxidative damage to whatever they contact. In controlled, limited quantities, free radicals play a role in immune function (the body generates them intentionally to neutralize pathogens). But at high concentrations or sustained exposure, free radical activity overwhelms the body’s ability to manage it, causing cellular damage. This is the same mechanism that underlies cellular aging.

Why ozone inhalation is dangerous

The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety notes that even very low concentrations of ozone can harm the upper respiratory tract and lungs, with severity depending on concentration and duration of exposure. Symptoms of ozone exposure include headache, nose and throat irritation, chest constriction, and lung congestion. People living in areas with chronically elevated ozone levels experience measurable reductions in lung function. The EPA has specifically stated that no federal agency has approved ozone generators for use in occupied spaces.

Ozone therapy

There is ongoing research into controlled medical applications of ozone (ozone therapy), and some practitioners report positive results. The proposed mechanism is that ozone’s eventual breakdown into oxygen is what confers benefit — oxygen being the actual therapeutic agent. This is a reasonable idea, but it’s also the argument for going directly to the source: if oxygen is the benefit, why not use bio-available oxygen directly and skip the oxidative risks of the ozone pathway entirely?

Why O4 is stable where O3 is not

OxygenSuperCharger™ contains O4 — polyatomic tetraoxygen — not ozone. The logic is straightforward: ozone (O3) is unstable because three is an odd number of oxygen atoms, leaving one unpaired. O4 consists of four oxygen atoms — essentially two O2 molecules bonded together symmetrically — an even, stable configuration. When O4’s bond breaks down inside the body, it is reasonable to assume it yields two ordinary O2 molecules — though the exact mechanism has not been formally studied. No free radicals. No oxidative damage. Just oxygen.

4. New Technology: Bio-Available Liquid Oxygen (ASO)

The fourth category — and the only one we sell — is what the industry calls new technology stabilized oxygen, or Activated Stabilized Oxygen (ASO). This is a fundamentally different product.

Unlike old-technology products, ASO actually contains oxygen already in the liquid. No chemical reaction is required inside the body. The oxygen is already dissolved, bio-available, and ready for your body to absorb.

OxygenSuperCharger™ is an ASO product. It is:

• pH neutral — approximately 7.4, which is the FDA’s recommended level for safe water products and close to the body’s own blood pH. It will not burn and you do not need to dilute it.
• Free of hydrogen peroxide — the manufacturing process forms no peroxide molecules.
• Free of chlorine dioxide — the manufacturing process does not create this compound.
• Free of unnecessary additives — no fluoride, no chlorine, no aloe vera, amino acids, or other substances that could potentially interfere with the actual oxygen delivery.

How OxygenSuperCharger™ Is Made

The manufacturing process behind OxygenSuperCharger™ is proprietary — the manufacturer spent over a million dollars to develop and perfect it. While the full details are a trade secret, we can explain the basic science.

The process starts with purified (distilled) water and a very small amount of a proprietary blend of food-grade sea salts (sodium chloride). Sodium chloride increases the water’s electrical conductivity, which is key to what comes next.

The mixture goes into what’s called an electrolytic bath — essentially a controlled environment in which two proprietary composite metal electrodes receive a regulated electrical current. This current causes oxygen molecules to dissociate from water molecules (H₂O) and become stabilized in solution. The process releases the hydrogen gas.

At the end of the process, large carbon filters remove most of the sea salt. What remains is a concentrated solution of dissolved oxygen in water, along with trace minerals from the sea salt. Even at the highest recommended daily dose, the sodium chloride remaining in the final product amounts to less than 1% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of sodium — an insignificant amount.

What makes this process distinct is what it doesn’t produce: the process forms neither chlorine dioxide nor peroxide molecules. This keeps the final product’s pH in a safe, body-compatible range while preserving the oxygen in a stable, bio-available form. The product has a long shelf life and retains its oxygen concentration for years.

The oxygen in OxygenSuperCharger™ is a concentrated form called O4 — polyatomic tetraoxygen, or oxozone — meaning each molecule contains four oxygen atoms rather than the two found in ordinary O2. A sodium chloride solution suspends it, and it is nearly tasteless.

An FDA-approved GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) laboratory designated for dietary supplement production manufactures OxygenSuperCharger™.

How Liquid Oxygen Drops Are Absorbed into the Body

A common question: how does oxygen in a liquid supplement actually get into the bloodstream? Isn’t oxygen only absorbed through the lungs?

The short answer is no — oxygen can also be absorbed through the digestive system.

Research supports two absorption pathways for bio-available liquid oxygen:

Sublingual absorption: When you place drops under the tongue, the oxygen absorbs directly through the sublingual mucosa (the thin tissue under the tongue) into the blood plasma. The tongue and gum tissue are highly vascularized — rich in blood vessels close to the surface — making sublingual delivery one of the fastest routes into the bloodstream for many substances.

Gastrointestinal absorption: Oxygen can also pass through the stomach lining and the intestinal wall directly into the blood plasma. Research has demonstrated that blood can absorb dissolved oxygen from liquid supplements in this way.

Once in the blood plasma, the bio-available oxygen may become available to red blood cells (hemoglobin) and may increase the amount of dissolved oxygen circulating in the body. Cells can then use that oxygen for normal metabolic functions.

A stabilized oxygen blood cell analysis conducted by Dr. LaMar (referenced in several studies) visually illustrated this effect: blood samples showed a measurable difference before and after use, with red blood cells appearing more clearly defined and less aggregated — more consistent with what well-oxygenated blood looks like.

The ASO® clinical studies summarized on our Research page provide further supporting evidence, including measurable increases in blood oxygen saturation lasting approximately 30–45 minutes after a single dose.

What to Look for When Buying Liquid Oxygen Drops

If you’re evaluating liquid oxygen supplements beyond OxygenSuperCharger™, here’s a practical checklist:

Check the pH. The product’s pH should be close to 7.4 — the level the FDA considers safe for water products and consistent with the body’s own blood pH. Old technology products tend to have much higher alkalinity (pH 13+). A neutral pH means you can take it directly without dilution.

Check the dilution requirement. If the label says to dilute before use, that’s a strong signal that the product uses old technology and contains caustic chemicals.

Check the ingredient list. Avoid products containing fluoride, chlorine, or chlorine dioxide. Natural trace minerals are fine. Be cautious of products with many additional additives — the more additives, the less certain you can be about what’s actually delivering the oxygen.

Check for hydrogen peroxide. If hydrogen peroxide appears as an ingredient or mechanism, do not use the product internally.

Check the manufacturer. Look for products made in an FDA-approved, GMP-certified facility.

A note on “designer” supplements. Some liquid oxygen products add other ingredients — aloe vera, lemon, spirulina, amino acids, ginseng, ionic minerals, or cordyceps mushroom. Some of these additives may have their own health benefits. However, researchers have not yet established whether they enhance or interfere with oxygen delivery. OxygenSuperCharger™ is deliberately additive-free: pure oxygen in a minimal saline base, so what you’re getting is the oxygen itself.

Why Supplement?

Modern life compounds the challenge of maintaining good oxygen levels. Urban air carries pollutants that displace oxygen. Sedentary posture tends to reduce the depth and efficiency of breathing. Age-related changes in lung efficiency, high-intensity physical activity, and altitude all place additional demands on the body’s oxygen supply. The body can adapt to lower oxygen availability, but that adaptation has costs.

Liquid oxygen drops are not a substitute for breathing or for lifestyle changes that support good oxygen levels (see our article on free ways to boost oxygen levels for more on those). They are a supplemental tool — a way to provide the body a measurable additional supply of oxygen in a convenient, safe form.

OxygenSuperCharger™: Original and Ultra Strength

OxygenSuperCharger™ is available in two formulas:

Original Strength — 35% bio-available liquid oxygen (350,000 PPM). This is the original formula, in use since the 1990s.

Ultra Strength (OxygenSuperCharger2™) — 25% stronger than the original. For those who want a more concentrated dose.

Both are available in 16-ounce bottles and 2-ounce sample sizes. You can take both sublingually (under the tongue) without dilution, or add them to water or another beverage.
