Intermittent Hypoxia Training (IHT)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• What is Intermittent Hypoxia Training?

  Intermittent Hypoxia Training is a therapeutic approach that involves subjecting a person to repeated episodes of low oxygen levels (hypoxia) interspersed with normal or hyperoxic oxygen levels.

• How does IHT work?

  This therapy aims to stimulate the body’s natural adaptive responses to hypoxia, which can benefit various physiological and biochemical processes.

• Is IHT safe to use regularly?

  Yes. Our expert staff will constantly monitor your performance and adapt the treatment to best suit your training goals and overall health.

• Can you use IHT in combination with other treatments?

  Yes, we can combine IHT with other treatments to enhance the effectiveness.. These include hyperoxia treatments, as well as red light therapy, whole body cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and more.

• Do any supplements compliment IHT treatment?

  Yes. Dietary supplements like coenzyme Q10, NEO40 and Ginkgo biloba can increase oxygenation through improved blood flow while branched-chain amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids aid maximum oxygen consumption (Vo2 Max).

• What Does IHT Therapy Look Like?

  At PUR-FORM, we use an intermittent hypoxia machine that utilizes a face mask, and the device will vary oxygen concentrations from 9%-40%. The duration, frequency, and intensity of the hypoxic episodes can differ depending on the specific treatment protocol and the individual’s needs and condition.
