At Flow and Glow, we’re dedicated to exploring therapies that enhance cellular health and overall vitality. One such therapy gaining attention is Ozone High-Dose Therapy (OHT), particularly for its potential to improve mitochondrial function—a cornerstone of energy production in our cells.

Understanding the Study

A study published in Translational Medicine Communications investigated the effects of OHT on mitochondrial bioenergetics in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Six patients received two OHT sessions within one week. Researchers assessed mitochondrial function by measuring parameters such as:

• Basal Oxygen Consumption Rate (OCR)
  
• ATP-linked OCR and Proton Leak
  
• Maximal OCR and Reserve Capacity
  
• Non-mitochondrial OCR
  

The findings revealed a significant improvement in the Bioenergetic Health Index (BHI) of PBMCs post-treatment. Notably, there was an increase in both the reserve capacity and maximal respiration of mitochondria. Additionally, an uptick in non-mitochondrial oxygen consumption suggested activation of antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes via the Nrf2 pathway.

Implications for Health and Wellness

These results suggest that OHT may serve as a safe and effective adjunctive therapy for enhancing mitochondrial function. By boosting the bioenergetic capacity of cells, OHT could potentially aid in the management of various chronic and acute conditions where mitochondrial dysfunction is a contributing factor.transmedcomms.biomedcentral.com+2pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+2researchgate.net+2

At Flow and Glow, we recognise the importance of mitochondrial health in achieving optimal wellness. Integrating therapies like OHT into our offerings aligns with our mission to provide holistic and evidence-based approaches to health.
