Oxygen Efficiency

Effective oxygen utilization matters in addition to the amount of oxygen a person takes in. High oxygen intake is not necessarily beneficial if oxygen use is inefficient and produces excessive free radicals. Oxygen efficiency means how well the body uses oxygen for productive energy generation instead of oxidative byproduct formation. Oxygen entering the body can contribute either to energy production or to free radical formation. Poor oxygen utilization can increase free radical production when it contributes to oxidative imbalance.
