Testimonials

«...I wanted to personally thank you again for you wonderful product. The hypoxicator was an essential part of my training before leaving on the Mt. Everest expedition...» «...I made it to the summit [Mt. Everest] no bother. Next time I might try without supp. oxygen.” I climbed Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania ... and know the IHT played a big part in my success. I did not get high altitude sickness. ...I trained on the IHT for 30 days...» «..just got back from rainier no problem with altitude i really appreciate all you have done for my training...»

Research

« Acute Mountain Sickness [AMS] is caused by a lack of oxygen when travelling to higher elevations. This usually occurs in individuals exposed to an altitude over 7,000 feet (2,100 m) who have not had a chance to acclimatise to the altitude before engaging in physical activities.
Mountain climbers, trekkers, skiers, and travellers to the Andes or Himalayas are at greatest risk... »

This study demonstrated a statistically significant increase, (p=.012) in FVC after IHT in both asthmatic and non-asthmatic participants. Some asthmatics showed an improvement in symptoms and a reduction in medication use.

Adventure travel to remote locations around the world; mountaineering, trekking and climbing and becomes more and more popular around the world.
People are venturing into the world's majestic wilderness locations to re-acquaint themselves with nature.

The following are normal symptoms of exposure to a high altitude - abnormal breathing patterns at night, frequent awakening at night, shortness of breath with physical activity, unusual or memorable dreams, urinating large amounts.

Acute mountain sickness is characterized by a headache plus at least one of the following symptoms: · dizziness or lightheadedness · fatigue · insomnia · loss of appetite · nausea or vomiting · weakness

The higher you go, the "thinner" the air becomes as the partial pressure decreases. At 6500 metres oxygen availability per each breath-in approximates less than half that which is available at sea-level.

What arterial oxygen saturation [SpO2, %] can person, travelling to high altitude can expect (guideline figures only)?
(rest position)

Altitude, m	SpO2, %
2,800	91
3,500	86
3,900	84
4,400	82
4,800	78
5,300	77

Susceptibility to AMS is usually associated with a low Hypoxic Ventilatory Response (HVR)
HVR can be considerably improved by means of Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT)
