The combination herbal and dietary supplement market, including hangover treatments like PartySmart and Drinkin&rsquo; Mate, is projected to hit $1.9 billion in 2018, up from $1.6 billion last year. Adult pain relievers, over-the-counter medicines like aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil) and acetaminophen (Tylenol), are estimated to grow from $3.7 billion in 2015 to $4 billion in 2018. &ldquo;If you could actually cure hangovers, that would be a billion dollar idea,&rdquo; says Christopher Schmidt, consumer health analyst at Euromonitor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Big Ox O2 for Hangovers,&nbsp;<\/strong>the morning-after remedy with a cult following in&nbsp;NJ &amp; NY colleges and universities, is now within reach of hangover sufferers nationwide. The Big Ox O2 formulation contains a powerful, high-purity dose of oxygen that works fast, is gentle on the body, and is rapidly becoming the go-to hangover remedy for drinkers along the East Coast. &nbsp;By volume, dry atmospheric air only contains 20.95% oxygen.&nbsp; Big Ox O2 contains an oxygen purity of 95%, manufactured in an FDA approved facility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Big Ox O2 is marketed to &ldquo;treat&rdquo; hangover symptoms, though not to cure hangovers.&nbsp; This is a key differentiation for the FDA. The active ingredient, high-purity oxygen, is hardly novel.&nbsp; However, it has &ldquo;long been acknowledged as an effective means to treat hangover headaches, with its roots dating back to hungover soldiers in the Army who used high-purity O2 to endure morning training after a long night of drinking during times of war,&rdquo; says Eric Weisholtz, CEO of Big Ox O2.&nbsp; There are no drug products &ldquo;approved&rdquo; to cure hangovers, says Stephen King, a spokesman for the FDA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Big Ox O2 is the only over-the-counter oxygen canister that can guarantee zero dilution of oxygen purity due to its patented mouthpiece.&nbsp; Other products claim to offer 95% pure oxygen, but fall short due to their delivery apparatuses; typically, facemasks that aren&rsquo;t entirely sealed around the nose and mouth.&nbsp; The Big Ox O2 patented mouthpiece is 100% sealed by the user&rsquo;s lips, ensuring a delivery of 95% pure oxygen every time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High-purity oxygen helps restore energy and alertness and provides powerful relief for your headache &ndash; just what your body needs after a long night of drinking. The process is simple &ndash; remove the protective cap, place the patented mouthpiece in your mouth, gently push the lever, and inhale as you would normally breathe.&nbsp; Consumers report feeling better in as little as 2 minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Big Ox O2 is now available on its website, through Amazon, select 7-11 locations, and at several pharmacies and convenience stores in NY &amp; NJ, retailing at&nbsp;$14.99 with free shipping on all internet orders, and significant discounts for larger volume purchases.&nbsp; Each can of Big Ox O2 contains approximately 3 &ndash; 5 treatments, based upon the severity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For additional information, please visit:&nbsp;<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bigoxo2.com\/\">www.bigoxo2.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About Big Ox O2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Big Ox O2 is a division of eO2, LLC.&nbsp; The founders of Big Ox O2, Eric Weisholtz, Artie Shay&nbsp;and Geoff Sweeney, saw their share of late nights and workday hangovers during their careers in finance, law and business. Recognizing the need for a truly effective hangover remedy, they decided to put their MBA&rsquo;s and life experience to good work, providing a solution that no pharmaceutical company had ever explored.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After extensive research on all aspects of hangovers and hangover relief, the Big Ox team finally developed and patented a mouthpiece that did the trick, allowing for zero purity dilution during inhalation &ndash; and Big Ox O2 was born.<\/p>\n<p><span style='font-size:18px !important;'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> Big Ox O2<br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Eric Weis<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> info@bigoxo2.com<br \/><strong>Phone:<\/strong> 973-400-9859<br \/><strong>Address:<\/strong>Big Ox O2, 584 Ridge Rd.  <br \/><strong>City:<\/strong> Watchung<br \/><strong>State:<\/strong> New Jersey<br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> United States<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bigoxo2.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.bigoxo2.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><object type=\"text\/html\" data=\"http:\/\/www.bigoxo2.com\" style=\"width:605px; height:400px;\"><\/object><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=the-new-hangover-cure-oxygen-big-ox-o2-now-available-nationwide\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW JERSEY &#8211; 10 January, 2017 &#8211;&nbsp;The common hangover takes a heavy toll on the US economy, with costs from lost worker productivity and absenteeism exceeding&nbsp;$223 billion&nbsp;per year according to studies published in 2011 and 2013 by the American Journal &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/the-new-hangover-cure-oxygen-big-ox-o2-now-available-nationwide_93975.html\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[401],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-93975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=93975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93975\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=93975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=93975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=93975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
