General

As motivated and progressive individuals, we are faced with different and new challenges everyday. Our minds enable us to learn and grow in order to overcome these challenges. It just so happens that your brain is not the only intelligent part of your body. The rest of your body is capable of overcoming similarly challenging scenarios without you even knowing it. This is precisely what happens through the use of Hypoxico’s altitude training technology.

Exposure to reduced oxygen levels (altitude or hypoxia) is a challenge to the human body because oxygen is the primary source of energy for our cells. Under a state of hypoxia the body strives to produce required amounts of energy with less oxygen available. To do so, a protein called Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF-1) sets off a host of reactions geared toward improving the body’s ability to utilize oxygen.

The following physiological reactions have been shown to occur:

     • Amplified pulmonary oxygen absorption
     • Boosted production of Erythropoietin Hormone (EPO) by the kidneys, stimulating             generation of Red Blood Cells (RBCs) and enhanced oxygen transportation through        the body
     • Increased capillarization for greater oxygen delivery to the tissues, muscles and            brain
     • Enhanced production and rejuvenation of mitochondria (the cell’s hub for aerobic        energy production) and mitochondrial enzymes, allowing more efficient use of        oxygen for energy production and superior enzymatic anti-oxidative defense.

Some additional benefits include:

     • Decreased average Heart Rate and Blood Pressure
     • Increased production and release of Human Growth Hormone
     • Stimulation of fat metabolism
     • Decreased oxidative stress from Free Radicals (Reactive Oxygen Species “ROS”)
