INCREASES VO2 MAX AND ENHANCES OXYGEN UTILIZATION

The adaptogens Rhodiola and Cordyceps were first used by Tibetan sherpas to adapt to the extreme physical stress and low oxygen environments on the upper reaches of Everest. But we aren’t simply relying on anecdotal evidence. The latest clinical research on elite endurance athletes supports the Sherpas’ use of adaptogens to improve performance, and studies have shown increases to VO2Max, lung function, and oxygen utilization. They also boost anaerobic threshold and time to exhaustion, and they even mobilize free fatty acids to metabolize as fuel.

Adaptogens aren’t stimulants, meaning you may not “feel” something shortly after taking them. Instead, they acclimate your body to the mental and physical stress inherent in intense training blocks, which can negatively impact performance. The effects will be noticeable in 7-10 days, but the ultimate benefits will gradually accumulate over a period of months during long-term consistent intake.

CLINICALLY SHOWN TO INCREASE LACTATE THRESHOLD

Rhodiola and Cordyceps also equip athletes to deal with one constant of endurance training: the lactic acid that lights up your muscles as exercise output outpaces oxygen intake and your energy metabolism goes anaerobic.

In a clinical study, Optygen increased time to the lactate threshold by 30%, even in highly trained distance runners. When you’re on the limit, that can make all the difference during repeated attacks or when the elastic is stretching and every moment could see it snap. Optygen turns the lactate threshold into a weapon for you – and a weakness for your competition.

EVERY WATT EXACTS A TOLL. OPTYGEN ENSURES YOUR BODY CAN PAY IT.

THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF ATP

Optygen’s proprietary ATPro™ matrix of five key nutrients plays a critical role in the processes leading to efficient production of ATP, which is the energy source that powers everything we do. Every stride, every pedal stroke, every meter gained through the water – ATP is critical for endurance athletics. Clinical research shows that endurance athletes diminish their ATP stores in exhaustive exercise, so it’s equally critical that the nutrients feeding the ATP cycle – the process of converting glucose to ATP energy – are readily available.

MAXIMIZE THE BENEFITS

For best results, use Optygen during all intense training blocks. It's important to use Optygen consistently for many months. If you start taking Optygen a week before a race, benefits will be minimal.

IMPROVES FUEL METABOLIZATION AND BODY COMPOSITION

Regulating insulin, metabolizing glucose, mobilizing fatty acids for fuel – Optygen’s biologically active chromium touches on virtually every aspect of getting grist to the mill of cellular energy production. It meters the delivery of calories to sustain a steady energy supply, and your body doesn’t have to pull as much fuel from your muscles – both during exercise and daily life – so you’re also building a leaner, more competition-tuned body composition, all year long.

Despite its impact on body composition, chromium isn’t a gimmicky weight loss wonder drug. It’s an essential trace mineral, and it’s supported by research that shows it helps your body more efficiently process foods to fuels – especially when combined with MultiV, which also contains chromium.
