A. You might have seen adverts for Oxy Poppers (also known as Oxydrene) claiming it can increase “blood and tissue oxygenation.” According to the promotional literature, they’ve become a highly sought-after body building compound, “dwarfing Creatine, andro, and the rest!” The bottle and box list the key ingredients in this supplement to be Sedum Crenulata, Hippophae, and Fructus Lychii Chinensis, a blend of ingredients known as Crenulin-RCC.

It turns out these “muscle tissue oxygen transport compounds” have also caught the attention of Vince Andrich, author of the Sports Supplement Review 4th Issue. Andrich searched the scientific literature, and couldn’t find ANYTHING to show that these things work. I checked all my Indian herbal and Chinese pharmacopoeias and I couldn’t even find these herbs anywhere.

The only ingredient offering any real benefit was Hippophae. The name actually comes from the Latin term Hippo (which means horse) and Phaos (meaning to shine). Why? Because it was originally used to give horses a shiny coat! There is no science whatsoever to support this product or its ingredients, and it seems a complete waste of money. If anyone has any research about this product or even what the herbs are, please send it in. I would be very interested to see it.
