Improve your mitochondrial status
“The AltiPower Personal Hypoxicator uses your own natural breathing process to produce reduced oxygen (hypoxic) air. Continuous breathing using AltiPower, with its patented, semi-closed, respiratory circuit, gradually decreases the oxygen content of the breathing air. This replicates the conditions of high altitude and with it, the benefits of alpine-like air.”
I may be climbing a 10,000 ft mountain later this summer, and coming from zero elevation Miami, something like this may help. However, I’m failing to see how this works any differently than a paper bag.
Best piece of information from the Altipower site, the World Anti-Doping Agency president’s name is “Dick Pound”…seriously.

Mt. Adams is 12,281 feet. 10,000 feet is where the climb gets serious.

Well, have you ever tried paper bag breathing? No?
Do it now! …
Have you noticed that after 10 - 20 sec breathing becomes unbearable?
You simply can not carry on. This is because of the “hypercapnic drive” and it happens when CO2 that we exhale builds up in the bag.
This is why you CAN NOT become hypoxic and CAN NOT get the benefits of hypoxia benefits while doing paper bag breathing.
With AltiPower this issue is solved by means of using CO2 filter that contains soda lime - chemical that absorbs carbon dioxide.
Cheers.

When you’re in uncomfortable position and have got no money to go out from that point, you would need to take the loan. Just because that will aid you for sure. I take car loan every time I need and feel OK just because of that.
