OXIDATIVE STRESS:
Oxygen that is breathed in is processed by the metabolism, which is known as oxidation. If the human organism is not in a balanced state, more free radicals are released. If the body does not manage to neutralise these radicals with antioxidants, the oxygen radicals can damage the organism. This process is known as oxidative stress and can affect physical and psychological performance negatively, as well as accelerating the aging process.

OXYGEN THERAPY:
Treatment with oxygen for regeneration and prevention of aging, as well as boosting the cardio-vascular system.

OZONE:
Oxygen molecules with a strong oxidising effect, created by UV radiation (sun). Vital to life, but hazardous to health in a high concentration!
