What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 18 active ingredients.
  • “Global Health Trax Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (326 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Oxygen Elements Max contains 18 ingredients, including digestive enzymes (amylase, protease, lipase, and cellulase) that break down food; amino acids (methionine, arginine, glutamic acid, and ornithine) that support various body functions; fulvic acid, a compound from soil organic matter; and mineral and electrolyte sources (potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, and ionic trace minerals). The product also contains citric acid for flavor and preservation, deionized water as the base, and glucono delta lactone, hydrogen sulfate, and rice vinegar.

There are no inactive fillers or binders listed.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Cystic fibrosis — rated "Likely Effective" (Sodium) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Neural tube birth defects — rated "Possibly Effective" (Methionine) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Athletic performance — rated "Possibly Effective" (Ornithine) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Amphotericin B nephrotoxicity — rated "Possibly Effective" (Sodium) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for this product's ingredients is largely limited. Methionine is possibly effective for preventing neural tube birth defects, and ornithine is possibly effective for athletic performance.

Potassium sorbate is likely effective for cystic fibrosis, and sodium benzoate is possibly effective for amphotericin B kidney toxicity. For most other uses — including the enzymes' roles in digestion, fulvic acid for respiratory infections or fatigue, and citric acid for various skin and joint conditions — the data we hold rates the evidence as insufficient to make a reliable recommendation.

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 7 of the 8 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 7 of 8.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 8 of 8.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Most of the checked ingredients are generally well tolerated. Citric acid is recognized as safe in the small amounts found in foods and supplements, though topically it may cause mild irritation, sun sensitivity, or tingling; concentrated supplement doses warrant a check with your doctor.

Protease and lipase are well tolerated orally for most adults, though protease may rarely trigger allergic reactions or occupational asthma in sensitive people, and both have limited safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding — your doctor should advise before use if you're pregnant or nursing. Methionine is well tolerated in food amounts but high-dose supplements may cause dizziness, drowsiness, low blood pressure, vomiting, or increased homocysteine (a heart-disease risk factor).

Ornithine is well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety isn't well studied. Fulvic acid appears well tolerated orally in the short term, though it may cause headache, diarrhea, or sore throat; however, safety data in humans is limited.

Potassium and sodium — two key minerals in this product — are essential but can accumulate to dangerous levels; high potassium can cause heart arrhythmias and cardiac arrest, and high sodium is linked to high blood pressure, kidney damage, and gastric cancer risk in large doses. Several ingredients (amylase, cellulase, arginine, deionized water, glutamic acid, ionic trace minerals, and amino acid complex) have no interaction data on file with us.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 3 of the 8 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Potassium, Fulvic Acid, Sodium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; lithium.
  • For scale: 456 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking Oxygen Elements Max, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (fulvic acid may reduce their effectiveness), immune-suppressing medications (fulvic acid may weaken them), or thyroid hormone (fulvic acid may interfere with thyroid control). Also confirm if you use potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or angiotensin receptor blockers — the potassium in this product raises the risk of dangerously high blood potassium.

Similarly, tell your provider if you take blood-pressure medications, corticosteroids, lithium, didanosine, sodium phosphates, tolvaptan, or other sodium-containing drugs, since the sodium content may reduce effectiveness or raise sodium levels.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Oxygen Elements Max is built around digestive enzymes and amino acids, with an emphasis on fulvic acid and mineral content. It may appeal to people seeking enzyme support for digestion or those interested in fulvic acid's theoretical benefits, though the evidence for most of those benefits is not yet established.

If you take blood thinners, blood-pressure medications, thyroid hormone, immune-suppressing drugs, lithium, or potassium or sodium-regulating medications, you should discuss this product with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, since the potassium and sodium content and fulvic acid may affect how your medicines work.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Oxygen Elements Max with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Fulvic Acid3 drug types · 257 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, taking fulvic acid may decrease the effectiveness of anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro evidence shows that fulvic acid, formed from the oxidation and polymerization of protocatechuic acid, can shorten prothrombin time in human plasma, increasing the risk of clot formation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, taking fulvic acid might decrease the effects of immunosuppressive therapy.
Animal research shows that fulvic acid stimulates immune function.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Thyroid Hormone

Theoretically, taking fulvic acid with thyroid hormone therapy might interfere with the ability to normalize thyroid function.
Animal research shows that fulvic acid increases the plasma level of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and decreases the thyroxine (T4):triiodothyronine (T3) ratio.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Fulvic Acid full monograph & interactions

Sodium Benzoate7 drug types · 205 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, a high intake of dietary sodium might reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.
High intake of dietary sodium can increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also, high intake of sodium may necessitate increased use of antihypertensive medications to achieve blood pressure control in some patients, such as those with chronic kidney disease.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Corticosteroids

Concomitant use of mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) cause sodium retention. This effect is dose-related and depends on mineralocorticoid potency. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Didanosine (Videx)

Concomitant use of didanosine with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Didanosine formulations contain a significant amount of sodium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence C
Lithium

Altering dietary intake of sodium might alter the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
High sodium intake can reduce plasma concentrations of lithium by increasing lithium excretion. Reducing sodium intake can significantly increase plasma concentrations of lithium and cause lithium toxicity in patients being treated with lithium carbonate. Stabilizing sodium intake is shown to reduce the percentage of patients with lithium level fluctuations above 0.8 mEq/L. Patients taking lithium should avoid significant alterations in their dietary intake of sodium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Sodium Phosphates

Theoretically, concomitant use of sodium phosphate with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Use of high doses (> 45 mL in 24 hours) of sodium phosphate, such as those used for bowel cleansing before surgery, can lead to serious electrolyte disturbances, including hypernatremia. The risk of hypernatremia is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sodium-Containing Drugs

Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related complications.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium supplements or high-sodium diets, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tolvaptan (Samsca)

Theoretically, concomitant use of tolvaptan with sodium might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist that is used to increase sodium levels in patients with hyponatremia. Patients taking tolvaptan should use caution with the use of sodium salts such as sodium chloride.

Likelihood Probable Evidence C
Sodium Benzoate full monograph & interactions

Potassium Sorbate3 drug types · 62 drugs

Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Using ACEIs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)

Using ARBs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Concomitant use increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
Using potassium-sparing diuretics with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia.

Oxygen Elements Max by GHT Global Health Trax: Common Questions

Does Oxygen Elements Max by GHT Global Health Trax interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Oxygen Elements Max has a known interaction with 456 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Oxygen Elements Max contains 18 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does this product have any digestive enzymes in it?
Yes. Oxygen Elements Max contains amylase, protease, lipase, and cellulase — all digestive enzymes that break down different parts of food. Protease breaks down proteins, lipase breaks down fats, amylase breaks down carbohydrates, and cellulase breaks down fiber.
Is this safe to take during pregnancy?
The data on file varies by ingredient. Citric acid and methionine are rated likely safe; however, protease, lipase, ornithine, and fulvic acid don't have enough safety data, and fulvic acid is advised against. Since this is a multi-ingredient product with ingredients of mixed safety profiles, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant.
What is fulvic acid, and why is it in this product?
Fulvic acid is a compound formed from decomposed organic matter in soil. It's included here theoretically to support respiratory health, energy, and immune function, though the evidence for these uses in our data is not yet established. The supplement is generally well tolerated but has limited human safety data.
Can I take this if I'm on blood-pressure medication?
The sodium benzoate in this product may theoretically reduce how well blood-pressure drugs work, and the potassium content could also affect your blood pressure control. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting to make sure it's safe with your specific medications.
Does this product work for improving digestion?
The enzymes in Oxygen Elements Max are intended to support digestion, but the evidence we hold doesn't rate their effectiveness as established. Ask your pharmacist or doctor whether digestive enzymes might help with your specific situation.
What happens if I take this with blood thinners like warfarin?
Fulvic acid in this product may decrease the effectiveness of blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs, theoretically raising your clot risk. Do not take this product with blood thinners without first talking to your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's safe.
