What is nitrous oxide?
Nitrous oxide is a colorless, slightly sweet, non-flammable gas, but it helps to burn like oxygen. It can produce a feeling of euphoria, so it is also known as "laughing gas". It is also used in many industries, often for sedation and pain relief. Medical professionals use it to sedate patients undergoing minor medical procedures, and it is sometimes used to treat alcoholics. It is also used as a food additive in cream, and it is also used in cars to improve engine performance.
The effects of nitrous oxide on the body？
Nitrous oxide affects each person differently, depending on:
- Height, weight and health
- Whether it is taken with other food (drug) medications
Smoking for three to five minutes can give the user a cheerful, pleasant, euphoric and even hallucinogenic effect. The first symptoms are usually a little paraesthesia, which is an abnormal sensation in the hands, arms, legs or feet, usually tingling, and may also occur in other parts of the body. It does some damage to your nervous system.
Well, nitrous oxide cream still has effects on the body？
Nitrous oxide is a common leavening agent. As a leavening agent, it is mainly used as a foaming agent for cream. Under high pressure, the high concentration of nitrous oxide dissolves in the cream, forming a temporary foam in the butterfat matrix of the cream without any interference from the cream. So there is no effect on the human body.
Why does cream choose nitrous oxide over other gases?
Cream chooses to use nitrous oxide (laughing gas) instead of gas for its legitimate reasons. Nitrous oxide has extremely high pressure and stability, as well as good solubility and emulsification, making it an ideal cream gun propelling agent. No gas can replace it for the time being.
