Methods of Benchmarking Wellness with a Stable Reactive Oxygen Species Solution
Methods of benchmarking wellness are described herein.
1 . A method of benchmarking wellness of a subject comprising measuring the rate of muscle glycogen depletion in the subject after exercise and comparing said rate of muscle glycogen depletion to the rate of muscle glycogen depletion of a known standard.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the known standard is the post-exercise average rate of muscle glycogen depletion for a known or given population.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the difference in the rate of muscle glycogen depletion between the subject and the known standard is measured as a percentage of the known standard.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein there is a decrease in the rate of muscle glycogen depletion in the subject compared to the known standard, and wherein the decrease in the rate of muscle glycogen depletion is from 1-35%.
5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising administering to the subject a composition comprising at least one RXN wherein the RXN is selected from the group consisting of reduced species (RS) and reactive oxygen species (ROS).
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the composition comprising at least one RXN is made by electrolyzing a homogenous and well mixed solution of saline and water.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the temperature, flow and electrical current are adjusted during the process of electrolyzing.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the temperature at the time of electrolyzing is between 30-100° F.
9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the voltage drops to zero at least once per second during the process of electrolyzing and further wherein the voltage remains positive during the process of electrolyzing.
10 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the composition comprises at least one ROS and the at least one ROS includes a superoxide and the superoxide is *O 2 − .
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the presence of the superoxide is detectable for at least 10 years.
12 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one reduced species (RS) includes HOCl, NaClO, O 2 , H 2 , H + , ClO, Cl 2 , H 2 O 2 or mixtures thereof and the at least one reactive oxygen species (ROS) includes O 2 − , HO 2 , Cl − , H − , *OCl, O 3 , *O 2 − , OH − or mixtures thereof.
13 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the composition comprises hypochlorous acid or a salt thereof.
14 . The method of claim 5 , wherein at least 60% of the at least one reactive oxygen species (ROS) is present in the composition after 1 year.
15 . The method of claim 5 , wherein at least 98% of the at least one reactive oxygen species (ROS) is present in the composition after 1 year.
16 . The method of claim 5 , wherein at least 65% of the at least one reactive oxygen species (ROS) is present in the composition after 10 years.
17 . The method of claim 5 , wherein at least 100% of the at least one reactive oxygen species (ROS) is present in the composition after 10 years.
18 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one reactive oxygen species (ROS) has a half-life of about 24 years.
19 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one reactive oxygen species (ROS) has a half-life of greater than about 24 years.
20 . The method according to any one of claims 14 - 19 , wherein the at least one reactive oxygen species (ROS) is hypochlorous acid or a salt thereof.
21 . A method of predicting physical or athletic endurance comprising testing the p-ACC of an individual and comparing the level of p-ACC expression to the average p-ACC of a known population.
