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”)
