The Oxygen Cocktail
​
​Dr. Nikolai Sirotinin, a Soviet biologist, is credited with the development of the oxygen cocktail in the 1960s. His research focused on how to deliver oxygen to the body via alternative methods, as a complement to respiratory oxygen intake
​
Initially, oxygen cocktails were used in clinical settings for therapeutic purposes, particularly for pregnant women, children, and patients with respiratory or circulatory issues.
It was believed that ingesting oxygen through a foamy medium could provide supplemental oxygenation to the body, potentially benefiting individuals in environments with poor air quality.
The oxygen drink was born.
How It Works
​
Oxygen Generator: The cocktail is prepared using an oxygen generator that infuses pure oxygen gas into a liquid base.
​
Foaming Agent: A foaming agent, such as licorice root extract, is added to create a mousse-like consistency that can retain the oxygen.
Consumption: The foam is consumed, and the oxygen absorbed through the digestive tract.
