      THE POWER TO ENDURE

      IMPROVES POWER OUTPUT & ANAEROBIC CAPACITY

      OptygenHP’s clinically effective dose of beta-alanine helps improve power and strength during intense exercise. This makes it especially useful for activities like sprints, cycling, or rowing, where pushing through fatigue is key. Beta-alanine also boosts endurance, helps with repeated bursts of effort, and can reduce the feeling of exhaustion during workouts. 

      • "OptygenHP gives my body the extra support it needs to perform in training and racing."

        Whitney Allison - 1st Overall BWR Cedar City (2022) | 2nd Overall SBT Gravel (2022) | 4th Overall Unbound Gravel (2022)

        LIKE NOTHING ELSE

        "OptygenHP is unlike anything else on the market. To have a supplement that helps you adapt to the stress of huge training and race loads is a big help. I've used it in every Grand Tour.”

        – Larry Warbasse (professional cyclist)

        GO. RECOVER. GO AGAIN.

        BOOSTS RECOVERY AND GLYCOGEN SUPPLY

        Clinical studies show that the Senactiv® in OptygenHP also decreases exercise-induced muscle damage and reduces post-exercise inflammation by supporting autophagy, the process of your body clearing damaged cells and proteins in order to help recovery and drive training adaptations. More efficient recovery; faster return to form between workouts and races.

        PUSH YOURSELF FURTHER

        IMPROVES TIME TO EXHAUSTION

        OptygenHP contains a patented ingredient, Senactiv®,  that has been scientifically validated in human studies to extend high-intensity exercise performance by up to 20% while also tripling muscle glycogen accumulation rate during the three hours following high-intensity exercise.

        You’ll have more reserves for the finale and less downtime between intervals – or while responding to attacks. Find another effort in yourself, sooner, and race like the next gap will be the one that sticks.

        TEST YOUR LIMITS

        SHATTER THE GLASS CEILING

        OptygenHP maximizes athletic performance. Powered by clinically proven adaptogens, it enhances aerobic capacity, increases VO2 max, and reduces fatigue so you can train harder and perform at a higher level.

        RISE TO THE CHALLENGE

        THE SHERPAS' PERFORMANCE SECRET

        OptygenHP’s advanced formula blends Ashwagandha, Cordyceps, and Rhodiola—adaptogens first used by Tibetan Sherpas to help them endure the extreme physical demands and low oxygen conditions of Everest’s highest altitudes.

        Clinical research shows these adaptogens are ideal for athletes. Their benefits include improved oxygen efficiency, increased time to exhaustion, reduced fatigue, and more efficient energy production. In short, adaptogens improve endurance performance.

        GET THE MOST OUT OF EVERY EFFORT

        BOOSTS RECOVERY AND GLYCOGEN SUPPLY

        Endurance training pumps additional cortisol, the primary stress hormone, into your system, which negatively impacts motivation, sleep, and the immune system. Chronically elevated cortisol also inflicts a penalty on performance, workload, and recovery by suppressing testosterone levels and dropping the panicked body into a catabolic state, which involves metabolizing muscle while storing fat. When we say “overtraining,” this is what we mean.

        A clinical study showed OptygenHP reduced post-exercise levels of cortisol by 26%. By modulating cortisol, athletes experience better recovery, an increase in VO2, improved oxygen utilization and enhanced performance. When every session is critical, OptygenHP ensures you’re getting maximum returns without the risk of overtraining.

        “Utilization of OptygenHP proves beneficial to trained athletes undergoing high training volumes by decreasing baseline stress and improving training sessions, leading to an overall improvement in performance."

        - Excerpt from a pilot study conducted by Dr. Andrew Creer of South Dakota State University

        THIS IS WHAT “FINDING ANOTHER GEAR” LOOKS LIKE

        CLINICALLY SHOWN TO INCREASE LACTATE THRESHOLD

        OptygenHP’s adaptogen blend weaponizes the lactic acid that accumulates in muscles as exercise output outpaces oxygen intake and energy metabolism goes anaerobic. In a clinical study, adaptogens in the OptygenHP formula increased time to the lactate threshold by 42%, even in highly trained distance runners.

        In real world terms, that’s about five additional seconds before threshold: 13.9 seconds versus 18.1. That can make all the difference during repeated attacks or when the elastic is stretching and every moment could see it snap. OptygenHP turns the lactate threshold into an opportunity for you – and an even bigger weakness for your competition.

        • "With OptygenHP, my capacity to handle a massive training load and then absorb and improve is noticeable."

          NEXT-LEVEL PERFORMANCE

          THE ENERGY YOU NEED, FASTER & MORE EFFICIENTLY

          OptygenHP’s proprietary ATPro™ matrix of five key nutrients is engineered to optimize ATP production—the body’s primary energy source. By increasing ATP, athletes can sustain performance for longer periods, delaying the onset of fatigue so you can train harder, more frequently, with less fatigue.

          A LEAN MACHINE

          REDUCES FAT, PRESERVES MUSCLE

          Regulating insulin, metabolizing glucose, mobilizing fatty acids for fuel – OptygenHP’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.

          Q&A

          How is this OptygenHP formula different than the previous formula?

          This formula contains the adaptogenic herb ashwagandha.  Research shows ashwaganda improves VO2max, modulates cortisol and increases work output.    We have substituted 150mg of Rhodiola with 150mg of ashwagandha. The formula delivers 150mg Rhodiola, 150mg ashwagandha, 800mg cordyceps, 200mcg chromium, 50mg ActiGin and our proprietary ATPro matrix.

          Why are the capsules red?

           The capsules are dark red to further reduce UV light degradation ensuring the highest quality, potency, and purity.

           How will OptygenHP help me race better?

          This formula will dramatically improve your training and recovery.  It’s designed to help you through your most intense training and racing. Research has shown the following endurance benefits:

          Increases Endurance and PerformanceReduced Lactic Acid

          Increases oxygen utilization

          Increase in VO2 Max

          Increase in Time to Exhaustion

          Increase Anaerobic threshold

          Improved exercise capacity

          Increase Maximal Oxygen uptake

          30% – 50% increase in Oxygen Utilization

          Increase ratio of ATP by 45% – 55%

          Enhanced Endurance

          Increase in ATP production

          How do I maximize the benefits?

          For best results, use OptygenHP during all your intense training and racing. This will allow you to train at a higher level by improving the body’s ability to adapt to physical stress, increasing anaerobic threshold and reducing lactic acid. These improvements will help you race at a higher level. For best results, you should use OptygenHP consistently for many months. If you start taking it a week before a race, benefits will be minimal. 

          When inflammation is out of balance, your body feels achy and sluggish. HALO delivers a precise combination of curcuminoids (a more accurate descriptor for supplementary curcumin), and Superba2® (a proprietary krill oil formulation rich in omega-3s) to address the imbalance quickly and effectively.

          Should I take OptygenHP every day?

          Yes, it’s important to take OptygenHP daily, even on days you are not training or racing.  If you don’t take it every day, you will not experience the full potential.


          When should I take OptygenHP?

          It is best to take OptygenHP formula every day with a meal.

          What is Beta-Alanine and how does it work?


          Beta-Alanine is an amino acid that interacts directly with the amino acid carnosine to buffer lactic acid. With intense training, you can increase your carnosine levels with a limiting factor: the body cannot produce enough Beta-Alanine to allow the body to continue to increase carnosine levels. Clinical studies show that supplementing with Beta-Alanine allows the body to produce significantly higher carnosine levels. The result is a highly effective mechanism for the metabolism of lactate, which in-turn improves endurance capacity.


          In designing HALO, we simply followed where the science led, and it led us to the conclusion that the patent-pending blend of curcuminoids and omega-3s actually does what CBD is supposed to do.

          Can I give my son and daughter Optygen or OptygenHP?

           Because there haven't been any published clinical studies on people under 18, we do not recommend Optygen or OptygenHP to athletes who are under 18 years of age.

          What are the benefits of taking Beta-Alanine?

          Cutting edge human clinical studies show Beta-Alanine supplementation:

          Significantly improves muscular endurance.Improves exercise capacityIncreases Total Work Done by 13%Boosts strength
Increases endurance capacityEnhances Ventilatory ThresholdDelays onset of neuromuscular fatigue

           Will OptygenHP help me recover faster?

          Yes, it will help you recover.  Because this formula was developed to help you adapt during times of maximum stress, it also aids in recovery.


          Should I ‘cycle’ on and off with Optygen/OptygenHP?

          What are the ingredients of the OptygenHP capsule?

          What are the ingredients of the OptygenHP capsule?

          The OptygenHP capsule is made of Bovine Gelatin without preservatives, includes FDA-approved FD&C Red #40 and Titanium dioxide at 1.5% of capsule weight. (also FDA-approved). It's also Kosher and Halal certified.


          That research period produced five papers on human curcumin bioavailability (three literature reviews and two human studies). HALO’s delivery mechanism is special – so special that it’s the first unique technology that we’ve applied for a patent on. The proprietary phospholipid formula protects and stabilizes the curcuminoids so they can be delivered – fully active – to cell membranes and actually produce those anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects everyone is looking for.

          Is Optygen suitable for vegans?

          No. The capsule is made of gelatin.


          …And here’s the slightly longer (but still not comprehensive) answer. Inflammation is absolutely normal and desirable – especially for strenuous exercise – but not always to the extent that our bodies naturally produce.

          Inflammation occurs when tissues are damaged and signals are sent to the immune system to respond with oxidative methods to remove potential sources of additional damage. After that, the same signaling mechanisms initiate a switch from inflammatory immune defense to repair.

          HALO promotes a more effective balance between those two phases by moderating the inflammatory phase while introducing repair-signaling molecules to kickstart the recovery phase, helping to ensure the two phases complement rather than impede each other. A more efficient inflammation period, a more efficient repair period, and a more efficient transition between the two – HALO rebalances the whole process, nudging it towards resolution.

          That’s a radically simplified version of a much (much!) longer and more complex response, but we’ll dive into the biological and chemical processes at play in much greater depth in a later blog post.
