Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation (EBOO) therapy is becoming a sought-after treatment for detoxification, immune support, and improved oxygenation. However, many people wonder whether EBOO therapy removes essential nutrients from the bloodstream.
Here we will explore whether nutrient depletion is a valid concern and how to support your body nutritionally after EBOO therapy.
Does EBOO Therapy Remove Nutrients?
No, EBOO therapy does not significantly deplete essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, or proteins. Unlike dialysis, which removes waste and some beneficial nutrients, EBOO primarily filters out toxins, inflammatory markers, and pathogens.
How does EBOO work in simple terms?
EBOO therapy involves:
- Drawing blood from the body via your left arm and returning it back to your body via right arm.
- Blood passes it through an ozonation system, where medical-grade ozone interacts with the blood. Ozone naturally occurs along with light therapy and thus cleans your blood before it returns to your body.
- Filtering out toxins and cellular waste is collected in a bucket and disposed of with standard medical waste protocols.
- Reinfusing the oxygen-enriched blood back into the body allows your body to heal and boost your overall immune system.
Since EBOO does not rely on a semi-permeable membrane (like dialysis), essential nutrients remain in the bloodstream.
Does Ozone Affect Nutrient Levels?
Ozone therapy does not directly deplete nutrients but may increase nutrient demand in some individuals. Here’s why:
| Nutrient | EBOO’s Effect |
| Antioxidants (Vitamin C, Glutathione, Vitamin E) | May be used up more quickly to neutralize oxidative stress. |
| B Vitamins | Involved in detoxification and energy metabolism, may be slightly depleted. |
| Minerals (Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium) | No direct depletion, but they support detox and immune function. |
| Proteins & Amino Acids | Not removed, as EBOO does not filter proteins like dialysis. |
πΉ Key Takeaway: While EBOO does not remove core nutrients, it may increase the body’s need for antioxidants and B vitamins due to its detoxifying effects. For peace of mind, you are always welcome to take a good multi-vitamin before but otherwise EBOO is safe and effective.
A healthy multi-vitamin is always good to take and B12 is the catalyst that allows your body to absorb these vitamins and minerals.
How to Support Your Body After EBOO Therapy
Since EBOO therapy enhances detoxification and oxygenation, itβs important to support recovery with the right nutrition.
Best Foods to Eat After EBOO Therapy
1. Antioxidant-Rich Foods (to neutralize oxidative stress)
β Fruits: Blueberries, oranges, strawberries, pomegranates
β Vegetables: Spinach, kale, bell peppers, carrots
β Nuts & Seeds: Almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds
2. Protein-rich foods (to aid tissue repair and immune function)
β Lean Meats: Chicken, turkey, grass-fed beef
β Fish: Salmon, sardines, mackerel (rich in omega-3s)
β Plant-Based Proteins: Lentils, chickpeas, quinoa
3. Detox-Supporting Foods (to assist in toxin elimination)
β Cruciferous Vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts
β Garlic & Onions: Natural detoxifiers that support liver function
β Lemon & Green Tea: Helps flush out toxins
4. Hydration & Electrolytes (to maintain balance after detox)
β Water: At least 8β10 glasses per day
β Coconut Water: Natural electrolytes to prevent dehydration
β Herbal Teas: Chamomile, dandelion, or ginger tea for liver support
Key Supplements for Post-EBOO Recovery
If you want to enhance your recovery after EBOO therapy, consider these supplements:
β Vitamin C β Supports immune function and detox.
β Glutathione β A powerful antioxidant that neutralizes oxidative stress.
β B-Complex Vitamins β Helps with energy production and detox pathways.
β Magnesium & Zinc β Supports muscle recovery and immune function.
β Probiotics β Helps restore gut balance, which can be affected by detoxification.
EBOO vs. Dialysis: Nutrient Loss Comparison
| Treatment | Does It Deplete Nutrients? |
| EBOO Therapy | No significant depletion, may increase antioxidant needs. |
| Dialysis | Yes, removes water-soluble vitamins, amino acids, and minerals. |
πΉ Key Difference: Dialysis removes nutrients, while EBOO does not, but may increase nutrient demand.
Should You Worry About Nutrient Loss Anyway?
EBOO therapy does not strip the body of essential nutrients, but because it promotes detoxification and oxygenation, it may slightly increase the need for antioxidants and B vitamins. Eating a nutrient-rich diet and staying hydrated can help optimize results.
If you have concerns about nutrient balance, talk to a healthcare professional about supplementing appropriately based on your individual needs.
