Anti-Aging

Age-related diseases are a growing concern worldwide.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy offers support:

Treating age-related diseases
Exploring ways to increase longevity

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been shown in some studies to help combat degeneration by contributing to the regeneration of tissue and blood vessels.

The therapy stimulates the development of new blood vessels in areas of the body where circulation is compromised and is utilized by some physicians to help treat Coronary Heart Disease, Macular Degeneration, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Arthritis and immune-related diseases.

HBOT also helps promote collagen activation to help battle the signs of aging including skin damage and elasticity.

Clinical studies have demonstrated the benefits of HBOT for age-related degenerative conditions by providing cellular aid to all organs in the body to promote health and beauty.

BENEFITS FOR CIRCULATION AND GENERAL BLOOD FLOW

Stimulates angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels) – essential for healing, growth, development, and maintenance
Ameliorates atherosclerosis
Combats and Prevents Circulatory Diseases, Including Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and Diabetes

HOW THE HEART IS HELPED WITH HBOT

Improves oxygenation to cardiac tissue
Reduces risk of heart attack
Improves heart muscle functioning following heart attack

ANTI-AGING SUPPORT FOR THE BRAIN WITH HBOT

Stimulates neurogenesis
Promotes neuroplasticity
Improves memory and reaction time

SUPPORTING THE JOINTS, SOFT TISSUE AND BONES WITH HBOT

Ameliorates osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
Accelerates healing
Reduces inflammation and pain
Improves mobility and stamina

HBOT BENEFITS FOR EYES AS WE AGE

Helps combat age-related macular degeneration
Ameliorates diabetic retinopathy
Reduces central retinal artery occlusion
Attenuates glaucoma symptoms

Research

BDNF – Brain-derived neurotrophic factor – is a protein the body releases to stimulate the production of new brain cells. A process is known as neurogenesis. You need this protein to support your learning, memory, higher thinking, and other similar brain functions. Of important interest, the protein is found to be significantly reduced in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s disease. Researchers are steadily gaining in their understanding of BDNF and how it affects brain plasticity and regeneration. It is already established that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can support brain regenerative effects. A new study, published in 2017, continues to support this concept. Researchers used a lower pressure of 1.5 ATA along with 2.0 ATA, and found that both pressures were able to cause significant increases in BDNF in just 3 to 5 days of consecutive HBOT sessions.

“Both, the genetically modified NIH3T3/BDNF and native NIH3T3 fibroblasts, showed a highly significant increased proliferation after five days of HBOT in comparison to normoxic controls. “

STUDY: SKIN DAMAGE FROM ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION PREVENTED WITH HBOT

A study published in 2012 in “Cell Stress and Chaperones, A Comprehensive Journal of Stress Biology and Medicine” focused on the effects of HBOT preconditioning and its protective properties against Ultraviolet-A (UV-A) induced skin damage. Three groups of hairless mice were exposed to UV-A, three days a week for 22 weeks, with two of the groups receiving HBOT pretreatment either two or four times a week. UV-A exposure amplified skin cell death, signifying elevated levels of skin damage. Pretreatment with HBOT substantially reduced UV-A induced cell death. In addition, HBOT pretreatment prevented skin creasing and maintained skin elasticity.
