Uses & Effectiveness
Overview
Despite its name, vitamin O is not a vitamin. It claims to be a liquid form of oxygen that can be used as a medicine. However, vitamin O is more likely to be nothing more than water and minerals. The manufacturer of vitamin O was charged by the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for making unsupported claims about their product. In May 2000, they agreed to pay $375,000 to the FTC to settle these charges.
People use vitamin O for conditions such as infections, depression, joint pain, stomach problems, and many others, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
Vitamin O, also known as oxygen, is essential for the human body to carry out key metabolic processes, produce energy, and even maintain brain function, highlighting the importance of breathing fresh air in maintaining good health.
