Accelerated Altitude Adaptation – Just Part of the CVAC Benefit
World-class athletes have been training at high altitudes for decades. High-altitude acclimatization is understood to evoke increases in red blood cells, hemoglobin and capillary density. Moreover, when altitude acclimatized individuals reside and function at lower altitudes, mitochondrial density is believed to increase, resulting in increased strength, stamina, energy and numerous other benefits.
Perhaps the most sought after altitude adaptation result is the increased release of erythropoietin (EPO) by the Kidneys. In turn, EPO stimulates red bone marrow to increase production and release of new red blood cells (RBC). In a normal healthy body, red blood cells deliver oxygen to the tissues, including all the muscles. This oxygen is used by the mitochondria in the muscle cells to convert carbohydrates and fats into energy. The increased red blood cells and capillaries allow more oxygen to be delivered to the body’s cells. The increase in mitochondria results in increased energy availability and perhaps a reduction in oxidative stress.
The CVAC technology was shown through a scientific study performed with athletes to significantly improve the oxygen-carrying capacity of study subjects’ blood, and to provide significant adaptation to high altitude in four weeks of use. (Wilderness and Environmental Medicine, 20, 26 32 (2009).
