Is OGO water any good?

Has anyone actually given that oxygen-infused water a shot? You know, the stuff they claim has like 35 times more oxygen than your standard bottled water from a place like Aquafina or Dasani? I'm curious if all that hype is legit or if it’s just another one of those wellness trends that sounds great on paper but doesn't really do much when you're actually drinking it.🤷

A friend of mine has been picking up those oxygen-infused waters from Whole Foods—I believe they cost about 15-$6.75 dollars per liter. He’s doing it based on his doctor's recommendation, though, to be honest. He’s dealing with quite a handful of health issues lately, so I suppose I’m not entirely sure what the specific goal is. Maybe it's intended to help with kidney function or perhaps something related to psoriasis... 🤔

I think I’m going to move my base of operations over to this subforum. 😬

It's a total scam. We already tore this apart in that thread where we call out the snake oil salesmen. There is zero scientific evidence that oxygenated water does anything beneficial for a human being. Hell, it doesn't do anything at all. 😁

We take in oxygen through our lungs, not our stomachs.

Can I make a quick observation here? My heart goes out to people dealing with psoriasis. It’s such a brutal, relentless disease that an enormous number of sufferers end up falling for these fraudulent gimmicks—everything from Reiki and homeopathy to "oxygenated water," special magnetic bracelets, and all that other nonsense. You can't talk about medical scams and people getting fleeced without bringing up psoriasis.

Psoriasis, cancer, and other chronic autoimmune issues—it’s basically a gold mine for charlatans. Of course, the FDA can't do a damn thing about this specific water because it's legally classified as a "dietary supplement." It’s not harmful, but it isn't helpful either. But hey, it has plenty of "anecdotal evidence" claiming things like "Oh wow, it was sooo amazing! 👍 it cured my grandma of thirty different ailments!".

If you really want oxygenated water, just grab some tap water, put it in a bottle, and shake it like crazy. The oxygen will dissolve into it. Then pour that into another bottle filled with fresh air and shake it again. It is completely useless.
Or you could just drink the water that those aquarium bubblers constantly pump bubbles into. It’s the exact same crap.

And can I make one small observation? I feel so sorry for people dealing with psoriasis. It’s such a brutal, relentless disease that a massive number of sufferers end up falling for these absolute snake-oil scams—you know, the usual garbage like Reiki, homeopathy, "oxygenated water," those stupid magnetic bracelets, blah blah blah. You can't talk about medical fraud and people getting fleeced without mentioning psoriasis.

But hey, they’ve got plenty of "anecdotal evidence" claiming things like "Oh my god, it was sooo amazing! 👍 it helped my grandma cure thirty different ailments!".

If you really want oxygenated water, just grab a bottle of tap water, shake the hell out of it, and let some air get in. Oxygen will dissolve in it. Then pour it into another bottle with fresh air and shake it again. It is absolutely useless.
Or you could just drink water that’s being bubbled by one of those aquarium gadgets. It's the exact same crap.

God, I love you! 😍
