The Science Behind OxygenSuperCharger™: Clinical Research on ASO®
We believe you deserve to see the actual research — not marketing language, not cherry-picked quotes pulled out of context, but an honest summary of what scientists studied, what they found, and what the limitations of that research are.
There are three published studies on the Activated Stabilized Oxygen (ASO®) formula used in OxygenSuperCharger™. All three were conducted independently. Below is a plain-language summary of each, along with the researchers’ names and key findings.
A link to the full PDF of all three studies is provided at the bottom of this page.
Study 1: Sprint Performance (Brunei)
Full title: “Preliminary Study Into The Use of ASO®/O2-Power™ Stabilized Liquid Oxygen As an Ergogenic Aid for Sprinters In a Competition/Heat Scenario.”
Researchers: Dr. Hj Danish Zaheer, Ph.D.; Hj Zaheeruddin, MD, Ph.D.; and David Hennessy, BSc (Hons) — Sports Medicine & Research Centre, Department of Youth & Sports, Brunei Darussalam
What they studied: Whether ASO® stabilized liquid oxygen improved sprint performance in competitive athletes compared to a placebo.
What they found: Nine athletes each performed two sprint trials — one with ASO® and one with a placebo. Five of the nine athletes ran faster in their second sprint after taking ASO®, compared to only one athlete improving their second sprint time on placebo. The researchers noted that the mean differences between the two groups were marginal overall, but that individual results were more variable. Their conclusion was that athletes who consumed ASO® were better able to reproduce consistent effort across back-to-back sprints.
Honest assessment: This was a small preliminary study — nine athletes is a limited sample. The researchers themselves described the mean performance differences as marginal. What the data suggests is a possible benefit of sustained consistency across repeated efforts, which is meaningful for competitive athletes where small margins matter.
Study 2: VO2max and Blood Lactate
Full title: “The Concentration of Lactate in the Blood and the Improvement of the Maximum Reception of Oxygen after the Ingestion of ASO® Solution.”
Researcher: Nicos Yiannaki Pericleous, M.Sc., ACSM
What they studied: Whether ingesting different quantities of ASO® before exercise affected blood lactate levels and VO2max — two key markers of aerobic fitness and endurance capacity — during both short-term and extended exercise.
What they found: Thirty-five athletes participated across various sports, ages, weights, and fitness levels. They were evaluated in two tests: a 40-minute continuous run and a 400-meter run. In every time-trial period, blood lactate levels decreased when ASO® was consumed compared with trials without it. The researcher concluded that ingestion of ASO® considerably affects the tolerance of lactic acid in the blood and improves VO2max.
Honest assessment: This is the most substantial of the three studies, with 35 participants across varied athletic profiles. Reduced blood lactate and improved VO2max are well-established markers of endurance performance. The findings are meaningful, though independent replication with larger samples would further strengthen the conclusions.
Study 3: Blood Oxygen Saturation
Full title: “Capillary Microscope Oxygen Saturation Test Conducted Using Activated Stabilized Oxygen (ASO®) Solution at 100% Full Concentration.”
Researcher: James D. Aker, Ph.D., M.S., P.A., P.P.A.
What they studied: Whether consuming ASO® at full concentration produced a measurable increase in blood oxygen saturation levels compared to a placebo.
What they found: Every test subject who consumed ASO® showed an initial increase in oxygen saturation ranging from 35% to 58%. This increase lasted at least 30 minutes and up to 45 minutes in 57.1% of subjects. No measurable increase in oxygen saturation was observed in subjects who consumed the placebo.
Honest assessment: The finding that every ASO® subject showed a measurable increase in O2 saturation — with no response in the placebo group — is a clear result. The duration of effect (30 to 45 minutes) is also a specific, useful data point. As with the other studies, independent replication would add further confidence.
What This Research Means
Taken together, these three studies suggest that ASO® may support oxygen availability at the cellular level, help the body manage blood lactate during exertion, and contribute to more consistent athletic output. The research is preliminary — these are not large-scale randomized controlled trials — and we present it as such.
We are not aware of any other liquid oxygen supplement company that makes its supporting research available in this level of detail. Most make claims with no research at all.
