In 2019, the Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to three scientists, William Kaelin, Gregg Semenza and Peter Ratcliffe. They have discovered molecular mechanisms that enable cells to measure oxygen levels and recognize when adaptive responses become necessary. Hypoxia, in particular, contributes to positive reactions that help the body supply all organs and organ systems with sufficient oxygen.
In his 2012 publication, Gregg Semenza documented the influence of hypoxia on mitochondrial function and showed that under hypoxic conditions, autophagy of weakened mitochondria is accelerated and the formation of new mitochondria is stimulated.
Science now assumes that a large part of civilization and chronic diseases, in addition to an autonomic imbalance, are
closely related to damaged mitochondria.
The studies of the three Nobel Prize
winners now explain the many positive experiences of the users of the
hypoxic training.
MITOVIT® is one of the most modern hypoxic training systems on the market. Although the training is carried out
at rest, the effects of the altitude training known from competitive sports can be achieved through the targeted
use of low-oxygen air.
