Question -
I am having people ask me about vitamin O.  Apparently it is created in a
solution of electrolytes of oxygen buffered and stabilized to naturally
occurring salts. When the oxygen is stabilized it then becomes nascent.

Do you have any information on this?  More specifically how this is
accomplished?
------------------------------------------------
It is a crock.  It's a marketing ploy to exploit the enormous and unregulated
dietary supplements market.  I have taken some criticism from marketers of
this snake oil before, but so far I have not seen even the slightest whisper
of evidence that "Vitamin O" has any benefit.  So forget about it.
