Interview with Oxygen4Energy
Product Review - August 2010
Reviewed by: Angie Moreno
We have the owner of the company Oxygen4Energy, Craig Inaba, with us today to answer some questions and explain more about his outstanding product.
Our personal review of Oxygen4Energy: "The benefits of oxygen are vast: increases energy, helps rid the body of toxins, improves endurance, and even reduces headaches and stress. Oxygen4Energy Recreational usage delivers 95% pure oxygen in an easy to use spray can. This was my first time trying canned O2 and I was most interested in finding out if it would have an effect on my energy levels.
I used Oxygen4Energy the first thing in the morning and noticed I felt more awake and energized within the hour, and I didn't even have my morning green tea or coffee! I also took the oxygen prior to my afternoon workout. Mid-way through my cardio session, typically when I start watching the clock more often, I felt I had the stamina to push through and even tack on more time!
Oxygen4Energy gets my stamp of approval! It was great to experience such an energy boost without adding any calories or jitteriness that can come from some energy drinks. I also love that they are easy to carry and even easier to consume. Oxygen4Energy is pure energy in a can!"
WP: Hello, Craig and thank you for taking the time for this interview! Tell me a little about yourself.
CI: I was born and raised in Hawaii and I've always been a very active person who likes to push myself physically. Growing up, I played all types of sports, and currently I spend most of my free time either playing beach volleyball or rock climbing. I love having an active healthy lifestyle.
WP: When did you first become interested in health and wellness?
CI: After College, I really became interested in health and wellness. I had a couple friends who were elite athletes and they started me in this direction. I did as much personal research on the subject as I could and even worked with a few nutrition companies. I definitely learned the importance of putting good nutrition into your body. It made a big difference in my life and I've seen it make a big difference in other people's lives as well.
WP: What brought on your interest in oxygen?
CI: I had an experience when I was in Quito, Ecuador playing in a professional golf tournament where I had food poisoning and altitude sickness. (I played golf professionally after college for several years.) I finished 9 holes and felt like I was ready to pass out. I could barely walk I felt so bad. The medic at the club we were playing at suggested I breathe medical oxygen for about 5 minutes. When I was done, I could not believe the difference. I felt so good the rest of the day it was incredible. Ever since that day, I've been looking for portable breathing oxygen.
WP: That is amazing! Can you tell me about the benefits of breathing portable oxygen?
CI: Recreational breathing oxygen has many benefits! Since this is a fitness magazine, I will focus on the sports and fitness benefits. Oxygen helps maximize power and explosiveness by helping your body produce more ATP, the main energy source for your muscles; Oxygen helps increase endurance by fighting off lactic acid; and, oxygen helps speed up recovery by assisting in breaking down lactic acid after exercise. No matter what kind of training you do, oxygen can help make you train harder, train longer and recover faster. Plus, oxygen works well every time you use it. It's not like so many nutritional supplements out there where you need to take them for a few weeks before noticing results. Oxygen works right here and right now, and the benefits are significant.
The best way to test oxygen is in the gym with a tough workout that you have done many times in the past. If you take oxygen before or during that workout, you should notice a significant increase in your performance. With the elite athletes using our product, we have seen rep increases of up to 50% in some cases with most people getting about a 20% increase. You just need to try it once as directed and you'll become a believer.
Besides the sports and fitness benefits, canned oxygen is also great for hangovers, altitude sickness, stress management, seniors, and believe it or not, sex. Although it isn’t a sexual enhancement product, it makes physical exertion easier, so many people report being able to have more prolonged sex without getting winded and physically tired.
WP: Wow, the benefits of portable oxygen are really vast. Tell me about Oxygen4energy.com! Where did you come up with the idea?
CI: When I finally found portable oxygen cans in the US, I knew I had to get involved and take it to the sports and fitness community. I jumped in head first and have spent the last 2 years trying to create a market for the product. It's been tough at times because people are not used to breathing in their supplements. However, the response from athletes has been incredible! That's what keeps me going. All the athletes I work with, regardless of the sport, simply love it. I know it is only a matter of time before canned oxygen is a standard item in people's gym bags. It just works too well!
WP: What makes canned oxygen such an amazing product?
CI: It really works and has no down side. Oxygen is the sports and fitness supplement of the future. Mark my words; you're going to start seeing really top athletes using it on TV very soon.
WP: What clientele is your main focus?
CI: Our main focus is the sports and fitness clientele because it works so well for athletes and that is where my passion lies.
WP: Who do you recommend try your canned oxygen?
CI: Anyone who wants to perform better physically from the Elite Pro Athlete to the housewife who goes to the gym and just wants to get better results from her training or make the exercise easier.
WP: How can are readers get a hold of canned oxygen for themselves?
CI: Currently, our canned oxygen is only available on our website. Go check it out. There is a lot of really good information on there that can help you make a more informed decision on whether or not the product is for you.
WP: This is such a great product that so many people can benefit from. Can you tell me some success stories you’ve heard from athletes?
CI: The stories are endless; the best way to hear all of the success stories is to visit our website or checkout our facebook fan page, at www.facebook.com/oxygen4energy. On our facebook page, we post updates on how our sponsored athletes are doing and there are a lot of athletes who post their product results for other people to read about. We also started a new section on our website called, "Product Reviews" in the article section. There is some good information there as well.
WP: Fantastic! Go check it out everyone! How about from other consumers who’ve used it for hangovers, altitude sickness or stress?
CI: We hear great feedback from customers on a daily basis for all kinds of uses. For hangovers and altitude we know it is very effective because oxygen directly affects the cause of the problems. For stress management, some people really love it and some people don’t really notice much difference. As with anything, you need to try it for yourself to see how it works for you.
WP: Are there any myths you’d like to clear up about the use of canned oxygen?
CI: Yes. Many people are concerned about oxygen toxicity. According to research, oxygen toxicity only occurs after breathing pure oxygen for hours at a time. Our oxygen cans contain less than 2 minutes of continuous flow oxygen and do not utilize an airtight delivery system, so you are never getting anything even close to pure oxygen.
WP: Thank you for clearing that up. Let’s talk about your personal life: Are you married, dating, any children?
CI: Currently, I am single and don't have much of a social life because I am working so much. That's fine though. Sometimes in life, you just need to put your head down and get things done. This is one of those times. Like everything else, it will pass.
WP: You really are a workaholic. You have so much going on in your life! How do you create balance?
CI: Luckily, I am very passionate about what I do, so I don't mind all of the hours I put in. Right now, I am focused on spreading the word about oxygen and helping athletes perform at the highest level possible. Hopefully by next year, the word will start spreading on its own and I'll be able to cut back on work and focus on balancing my life again.
WP: What has been your driving force that got you, and oxygen4energy, to where you are today?
CI: Passion for the product. I really believe in it, and I have seen too many top athletes get incredible results from it.
WP: Do you use canned oxygen yourself? If so, when do you take it?
CI: Definitely, yes. I use it all the time. I take it before and during any sports or gym workouts. It makes me a better athlete. There's no doubt about it.
WP: What do you see in the future for oxygen4energy?
CI: Hopefully, canned oxygen will be the next bottled water. The market isn't as big, obviously, but I believe that in the next few years it will become a product that most health conscious people will use on a consistent basis.
WP: What else would you like people to know about oxygen4energy and canned oxygen?
CI: Just try it. That's all I ask. Let the product speak for itself.
WP: Fair enough! What do you have to say to any skeptics out there?
CI: I feel skeptics are typically negative people who are looking for reasons not to try a product. I don't worry about them too much. They always find excuses. I'm looking for open minded, positive people who are willing to give something a true test before coming to a decision. If you are willing to give it a try, I know you will like the results.
WP: Do you have any other projects in the works? And, what’s next for oxygen4energy?
CI: Oxygen4energy is my only focus right now. I'm just going to keep spreading the word. An oxygen revolution is coming and I want to be on the forefront of that revolution.
WP: It has been a pleasure interviewing you, Craig! I wish you the best of luck in your future business endeavors and hope that our readers check out oxygen4energy.com!
CI: Thanks! It's been my pleasure!
