Frequently asked questions

FAQ: everything about oxygen-enriched water

Do you have questions about OxyVita, its origin, its composition or the best way to drink it? Here are the answers to the questions we are asked most often.

What is oxygen-enriched water?

Oxygen-enriched water is water in which the amount of dissolved oxygen is significantly higher than in ordinary water. Tap water or bottled water generally contains between 5 and 10 mg of oxygen per litre, depending on its temperature and how it has been stored.

OxyVita contains between 18 and 20 mg/L of dissolved oxygen, roughly two to three times more. The oxygen is incorporated into the water as dissolved molecules: these are not bubbles or added gas as in sparkling water. The water remains still, clear and pleasant to drink.

Is oxygen-enriched water the same as hydrogen peroxide?

No, and it is a common confusion. Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is an antiseptic for external use that must never be drunk. Oxygen-enriched water is still water (H₂O) in which more oxygen (O₂) has simply been dissolved.

OxyVita is therefore a drinking water in its own right, intended for your daily hydration, with no added chemicals.

How is oxygen added to OxyVita?

Our water is drawn from protected sources in the heart of the mountains. It is then enriched by electrolysis: a controlled electrochemical process produces oxygen from the water itself, with no external oxygen added. No additives or chemical treatments are used.

It is bottled immediately afterwards, in BPA-free bottles, to best preserve its freshness and oxygen content.

What are the benefits of oxygen-enriched water?

Oxygen is essential to our body: among other things, it is involved in energy production in our cells and in the functioning of our muscles and brain.

OxyVita goes further than simple hydration. Thanks to its exclusive process, it offers a high concentration of dissolved oxygen and, above all, a particularly high partial pressure of oxygen. This pressure difference is a key factor in the natural exchange of oxygen between environments.

Why is OxyVita’s pH 7.5?

OxyVita is a slightly alkaline water. This pH comes from the natural mineral composition of our sources. Many people appreciate this type of water for its softness on the palate and its digestive comfort.

Combining a balanced pH with an oxygen-enriched water makes it possible to offer a water that is light, soft and invigorating at the same time, suitable for daily consumption by the whole family.

How much should I drink each day?

General recommendations advise drinking around 1.5 to 2 litres of water a day for an adult, and more in hot weather or during physical activity. You can replace all or part of your usual water with OxyVita.

Many of our customers start the day with a large glass of oxygen-enriched water when they wake up, then take a bottle with them to work or to the gym. The key is to drink regularly, in small amounts, throughout the day.

When should I drink oxygen-enriched water for sport?

For athletes, the ideal is to hydrate well before, during and after exercise. One or two glasses about an hour before the session, regular sips during exercise, then gradual rehydration after training.

An oxygen-enriched water like OxyVita fits easily into this routine. For long or intense efforts, also remember to replace lost mineral salts, for example through an appropriate diet.

How do I keep the oxygen in the bottle?

Dissolved oxygen is sensitive to heat and air. To get the most out of an oxygen-enriched water, keep your bottles closed, away from light and heat, ideally in a cool place.

Once the bottle is opened, the oxygen gradually escapes: we recommend closing it carefully after each use and drinking it within 24 to 48 hours. Water served well chilled also retains its oxygen better.

Is oxygen-enriched water suitable for children and pregnant women?

OxyVita is an additive-free drinking water, suitable for the whole family. For infants, pregnant women or people on a special diet, it is always best to ask your doctor or pharmacist before changing water, as with any mineral water.

Can oxygen-enriched water be given to animals?

Yes. Our companions also need quality water. Many dog, cat and horse owners give OxyVita to their animals, especially after exercise or in hot weather.

As for us, water is no substitute for veterinary care. If in doubt about your animal’s hydration, talk to your vet.

How is it different from ordinary mineral water?

An ordinary mineral water is mainly distinguished by its mineral composition. OxyVita stands out for three combined characteristics: a dissolved oxygen content of 18 to 20 mg/L, a slightly alkaline pH and an origin in protected mountain sources.

It is this combination that makes OxyVita a unique oxygen-enriched water, designed for those who want to make their hydration a true well-being habit.

Are OxyVita bottles environmentally friendly?

Since 2008, we have been committed to limiting our environmental impact. Our bottles are BPA-free and 100% recyclable, and we are constantly working to reduce our packaging and carbon footprint, from the source to your home.

For us, choosing an oxygen-enriched water should also be a responsible choice: we invite you to sort your bottles after use so that they can have a second life.

What does oxygen-enriched water taste like?

Dissolved oxygen has no particular smell or taste. OxyVita therefore tastes like pure spring water, with a feeling of lightness and freshness in the mouth that many of our customers notice from the very first sip.

Its slightly alkaline pH gives it great softness. It is easy to drink, on its own, well chilled or at room temperature, and goes very well with meals as well as with breaks during the day.

Can OxyVita be used for cooking or making hot drinks?

Of course, you can use OxyVita for your teas, herbal infusions or recipes: it will bring its purity and softness. However, heat causes the dissolved oxygen to escape. To get the full benefit of an oxygen-enriched water, we recommend drinking it cold or at room temperature.

For a fresh, original drink, you can also add a few mint leaves or slices of lemon or cucumber: a simple, tasty way to stay better hydrated in summer.

How do I know if OxyVita is right for me?

The simplest way is to try it for a few weeks in place of your usual water, and observe how you feel day to day. Many of our customers tell us they drink more, simply because they enjoy its taste and lightness.

Every body is different: listen to how you feel, and keep a balanced diet and regular physical activity. An oxygen-enriched water is an ally of a healthy lifestyle, not a miracle solution.
