First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study looked at how breathing pure oxygen for 30 minutes changes blood flow and stress levels in the brain. Researchers also tested if giving vitamin C before the oxygen could reduce any harmful effects. Thirteen healthy adults took part, each receiving either vitamin C or a placebo in two separate sessions. The goal was to better understand oxygen's impact on the brain, not to treat a disease.
