Further information below

Using the correct amount and at the right time, Oxygen has the unique ability to assist both calming and concentration. When used as part of an overall fitness improvement regime Oxyshot improves the power stamina and recovery of the performance horse.
What to expect from Equine Oxyshot if you are a show rider:
The demands of your sport are for that of calmness, patience and the overall well being of your horse. Equine OxyShot is a natural product with no negative side effects. The improved calmness and concentration of horses’ using OxyShot gives them the competitive edge, whether showing at county or local level. Using OxyShot for your shows vastly reduces the cost of daily fed calmers. Use on show day, prior to travel and then approximately thirty minutes before working- in. If you are lucky enough to ride in the championship use a second shot of OxyShot for optimum effect when the sashes are available for winning.
What to expect from Oxyshot if you are a dressage rider:
At every level the dressage horse has to be working towards a submissive, relaxed energy. The foundations of dressage are crucial at Preliminary and Novice level as these basics are the foundation for all dressage of higher levels. Equine OxyShot is therefore suited to riders of all levels. Naturally calming your horse allows him to concentrate easier, lessening any worrying as the training progresses or competitions begin. Using OxyShot to train your horse at home prior to competition or clinic enables you to re-enforce a calm way of going that will maximise your results. Equine Oxyshot should be used prior to travelling to assist with a more comfortable journey and arrival. A shot of OxyShot prior to working-in will allow your horse to settle in the new surroundings and listen to your aids more attentively with less tension or uptight behaviour. Hundreds of top horses are already using OxyShot, your horse at whatever level will also benefit from OxyShot so you can enjoy your progression in dressage together.
What to expect from Oxyshot if you are an Event rider:
Eventing challenges the horse and rider by blending three challenging disciplines into one sport. The calmness and concentration makes the riding challenges from the extremes of cross country to dressage more manageable and enjoyable. The improved power and stamina which can be gained from training on the 50mls administration enables a deeper level of fitness. Where using 25mls on the day it is required acts as an instant calmer pre-dressage.
What to expect from Oxyshot if you are showjumper:
As will all disciplines show jumping requires concentration and calmness to allow a correct approach and set- up for the next fence or combination. Equine OxyShot has two massive benefits for show jumping, the calmness and concentration but then by training the horse using OxyShot you will be able to improve your horses’ anaerobic ability. When the horse is trained using OxyShot for jumping it soons begins to display increased power for the short burst demands of energy that is required. Equine Oxyshot should be used prior to travelling to assist with a more comfortable journey and arrival. A shot of OxyShot prior to working- in will allow your horse to settle in the new surroundings and listen to your aids more accurately demonstrating less tension or uptight behaviour. Riders are reporting that spookiness to fillers or distractions at the competitions and flighty strong approach to fences are subdued once a shot of OxyShot is administered.
What to expect from Oxyshot if you are a Riding Club Rider:
Taking your horse for fun events with your friends makes up for a huge part of the UK’s riding enthusiasts. Often the varied activities and locations can make the horse more nervous and uptight as his daily routine is altered. Riders also gain a huge benefit in how confidently they ride when then know the horse has being calmed down. Equine OxyShot is administered just before you need it making you feel more confident that the calming effects are soon to be seen before you ride or handle your horse.
What to expect from Oxyshot if you are a Pony Club Rider:
As children enjoy the spring weather and summer fun with their ponies, there can often be occasions where the rich grass or improved fitness can sometimes make them a bit of a handful. Both the nerves of the young rider and their parents can be challenged by this type of behaviour. Equine OxyShot allows a shot of calmness and concentration within minutes. Syringing ponies can sometimes be a little more difficult than horses however be assured that the water OxyShot is much easier to administer by syringe than a thick paste wormer. Equine OxyShot needs to be only used minutes before the effects of calmness is required assuring the little jockeys, parents and trainers that they are more in control for the PC training, camps and competitions.
What to expect from Oxyshot if you are a Race Horse Owner or Trainer:
Equine OxyShot can improve the horse’s aerobic ability when trained using 50mls on strenuous training days and 25mls on slow. The increased oxygen levels in the arterial blood allows you to train the horse slightly longer improving the depth of fitness. For the maximum effect you do not need to administer Equine OxyShot on race days.
What to expect from Oxyshot if you hunt:
The winter sport makes the horse often spooky as hunt riders are often out in all weathers, driving winds and rain on clipped horses can make for quite a flighty, often frightening experience. As the hunt begins the natural herding and flight instinct is heightened to a exhilarating level for the rider which can easily become un-nerving for many hunt riders. A shot of OxyShot can calm the hunter down to make the fun of the hunt more enjoyable for the rider.

The first step in understanding how Equine Oxyshot works is to appreciate the unique bio-electrical manufacturing process. Put simply, deionised water (cleansed of all organic compounds and impurities) with a little salt added (to facilitate an electrolyte solution) is exposed to a serious electric charge. This process of electrolysis progressively “de-composes” the water by removing hydrogen from the H2O and by uniquely bonding the surplus oxygen molecules together, enabling the solution to remain stable whilst “super concentrating” the oxygen level. This procedure increases the oxygen from that which is found in tap water (about 8 parts per million) and multiplied up to the Equine Oxyshot of 150,000 parts per million (15% of total volume). The oxygen is “stabilised” (meaning ‘locked in’ to solution and prevented from becoming a ‘gas’).

Samples from the Equine Oxyshot production facility have been shown by independent laboratories to remain stable for at least two years in an unopened container and eight months in an opened container. This represents a world first, not only due to the stable qualities of Equine Oxyshot, but due to the neutral pH of 7.9 which makes it safe to drink! (Older technologies require a chemical process that results in potentially toxic PH of 3.4 which means they are unsafe to ingest).

How is Equine Oxyshot absorbed into the body?
Typically atmospheric oxygen (a gas) is delivered to the body via the lungs. In contrast, Equine Oxyshot (although rich in oxygen) is not a gas, it is an aqueous solution and like all solutions (eg water, alcohol etc) is absorbed via the gastro-intestinal tract, across the gastric membrane. As the gastric membrane is similar in nature to the tissues of the lungs the oxygen ‘locked in solution’ crosses over into the blood stream in the same way and this by-passes the first two steps of aerobic respiration (ventilation/gas exchange). The oxygen in a 25ml dose of Equine Oxyshot, whilst not in itself a lot of oxygen (3.75ml) compared to normal respiratory oxygen, is however in a very concentrated form (15%) in the solution and this difference is the key to its effectiveness.

How does this help a horse?
Research conducted in universities and laboratories around the world has shown that, following the use of Oxyshot marked increases in the partial pressure of arterial blood (PO2) and significant decreases in blood CO2 were found. This increase in usable oxygen and reduction in CO2 could lead to many benefits for the physical performance and general wellbeing of the performance horse.

How can this be happening?
Exercise physiologists have been aware for a long time that a phenomenon known as “de-saturation” exists among some athletes where the haemoglobin ‘dumps’ oxygen into the muscles, thus increasing the oxygen available to the muscles without increasing cardio-respiratory rates. A similar event may be encouraged by administering Equine Oxyshot prior to the intense exercise event. This could explain the increased O2 metabolism from ingesting only 3.75ml from a 25ml dose of Equine Oxyshot.

Possible mechanisms
Observers of oxygen therapy, using traditional forms of O2 in solution (hydrogen peroxide) even in very small doses (5 drops) have recorded changes to enzyme 2,3 DPG, in the haemoglobin this can lead to a shift in the ‘HbO2’ dissociation curve to the left and by speeding up the delivery of oxygen to the muscle tissues, improve the efficiency of existing haemoglobin and cardio-respiratory functions.
What are the ingredients in Equine Oxyshot?
Equine Oxyshot contains de-ionised water, a minimum amount of naturally formed sodium chloride (in the form of Sea Salt) and a minimum of 15% v.v of charged stabilised oxygen (CSO2™) at manufacture.

Are there any side effects when administering Equine Oxyshot?
There are no known side effects.

If side effects occur should I stop administering it?
No, by continuing to administer the supplement it will expediate the detoxification process allowing the horse to perform at its maximum. As quoted from Valerie Saxion Ph.D, N.D “Oxygen displaces deadly free radicals, neutralises environmental toxins, and destroys anaerobic (depleted of oxygen) bacteria, parasites, microbes and viruses.”

Will Equine Oxyshot interfere with any nutritional supplements or medications?
No.

Can you administer Equine Oxyshot and other nutritional supplements or medications at the same time?
To obtain the maximum benefits, it is preferred and recommended to administer Equine Oxyshot on an empty stomach 30 minutes before feeding or other administration of nutritional supplements or medications.

Is Equine Oxyshot pH balanced?
Yes. Equine Oxyshot is balanced to a slightly alkaline state which is beneficial to the body.

How much oxygen is actually in Equine Oxyshot?
It contains at least 15 % v/v (volume-to-volume) CSO2 which is equivalent to 150,000 parts per million of stabilized bio-available di-atomic oxygen at manufacture.

What is the shelf life of Equine Oxyshot?
It is about 8 months for an opened bottle and 18 months for an unopened bottle.

What is the difference between Equine Oxyshot and hydrogen peroxide or other oxygen supplements on the market?
Equine Oxyshot should not be confused with the Chemical Chlorite compounds which are available on the market and which represent an older, now outdated approach to providing oxygen supplements. Equine Oxshot is a liquid solution which contains intact oxygen molecules ready for immediate absorption; the older Chlorite type compounds must first come into contact with the acid in the stomach before oxygen is released by way of a vigorous chemical reaction. Also, Equine Oxyshot should not be confused with hydrogen peroxide, a compound which can cause problems if not administered properly and with appropriate care.

How should I store Equine Oxyshot?
Once opened it is best stored in a refrigerator, however you can store Equine Oxyshot at room temperature. It is important to keep it out of direct sunlight. Do not freeze Equine Oxyshot.

What is De-Ionised Water?
De-Ionised water is a very pure form of water that has had ionic chlorides removed.
