Optygen is unlike any other endurance product available. Optygen is a
legal, safe and stimulant-free formula designed specifically to
optimize performance for endurance athletes. This revolutionary formula
is based on human clinical trials and the latest scientific research on
increasing endurance. This new and improved Optygen formula now contains
Rhodiola that’s 40% stonger than the original formula.
The two main adaptogens in Optygen were first used by Tibetan Sherpas
to help them climb Mount Everest. Optygen utilizes these unique
adaptogens because clinical research (on elite endurance athletes) has
shown them to increase oxygen utilization. This increases the body’s
ability to adapt to high levels of physical stress, increase anaerobic
threshold and reduce lactic acid.
- Now with 40% Stronger Rhodiola
- Increases Endurance and Performance
- Modulates Cortisol Levels
- Improves Oxygen Utilization
- Reduce lactic acid
Efficient Glucose Metabolism:The first part of the
Optygen formula utilizes chromium for its ability to break down fuel.
Chromium is an essential trace mineral that aids in glucose metabolism,
regulation of insulin levels, and maintenance of healthy blood levels of
cholesterol and other lipids. Chromium forms part of a compound in the
body known as glucose tolerance factor (GTF), which is involved in
regulating the actions of insulin in maintaining blood sugar levels and,
possibly, in helping to control appetite. It is critical that any
drink, bar or pre-race meal consumed prior to a race or exercise gets
broken down efficiently in order to maximize your fuel delivery. Insulin
spikes or lack of insulin response can cause the nutrients to either be
rushed into your bloodstream too quickly or not quickly enough.
Chromium regulates this nutrient breakdown so you have equal and
sustained nutrient delivery to the working muscles.
Efficient Oxygen Transfer:The second part of the
Optygen formula uses adaptogenic herbs to improve oxygen effeciency.
Originally, these two adaptogenic herbs were gathered by Tibetan Sherpas
for use in their tea. The Sherpas used these herbs to give them energy
to climb Everest, which they did without the use of supplemental oxygen.
One of the adaptogenic applications of Rhodiola that has received
considerable research attention recently is for aiding in adaptation to
high altitude, thus, as a preventive treatment for hypoxia or mountain
sickness. In June 2002, Dr Rulin Xiu was awarded a patent for her work
showing Rhodiola's ability to oxygenate blood. Clinical studies on
Cordyceps have proven its ability to increase endurance through more
efficient enzyme activity, mobilization of free fatty acids and
beta-oxidation. In a 1998 study, Dr. Edmond Burke observed that
Cordyceps has the ability to improve lactate energy metabolism within
the cell. All these mechanisms clearly show how these two adaptogenic
herbs improve the efficiency of oxygen transfer in the cell leading to
improvements in oxygen uptake and VO2max.
ATP Production: The final step of the Optygen
formulation puts all the necessary components together to assure
efficient Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) production. Clinical research has
shown that endurance athletes diminish their ATP stores in exhaustive
exercise, which can lead to a reduction in aerobic metabolism and
endurance. Optygen 's proprietary ATPro™ matrix of five key nutrients is
designed to assure ATP production. Since ATP is the final step in
aerobic energy production, it is critical that the nutrients feeding the
ATP cycle are readily available. Calcium pyruvate, sodium phosphate,
potassium phosphate, adenosine and d-ribose all play critical roles in
glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, leading to efficient ATP
production. Endurance athlete's VO2max is directly proportional to their
ability to efficiently produce ATP.
A synergistic formula:The combination of the three
components of Optygen create a synergy with the sole purpose of
improving race performance through increased VO2max, reduced lactic acid
and increased endurance. Though Cordyceps and Rhodiola taken by
themselves would offer enhanced performance, the combination including
Chromium Chelate and the ATPro™ matrix complete the formulation. It is
this synergistic combination of key ingredients that make Optygen such a
powerful and complete endurance formula.
