What is the difference between Activated Air and an Oxygen Concentrator?
February 23rd, 2009Eng3′s Activated Air devices are not Oxygen Concentrators and they work in very different ways.
Oxygen concentrators increase the percentage of oxygen that you breathe – up to 100%. But breathing in more oxygen does not necessarily mean your cells can use it.
Eng3′s device modifies the air, so that your cells are able to use the oxygen better; but is not changing the amount of oxygen in the air – you still breathe the natural level of oxygen, about 21%. This improved oxygen utilization can be measured by the energy production of the cells and the amount of oxygen that is exhaled unused. Energy goes up and exhaled oxygen goes down.
The reason this is such an important difference is that the metabolism of oxygen by the cells naturally produces free radicals. This is natural and fine, unless there is an accumulation of free radical damage, which is called oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is associated with all chronic disorders and most diseases. When you breathe concentrated oxygen your cells must metabolize more oxygen, creating excessive free radicals and oxidative stress. Since Eng3’s device does not add more oxygen to your body, it does not create oxidative stress. In fact, our device helps reduce and repair oxidative stress damage by actually improving how your cells function.
