Just by tackling this one aspect of your health, the mitochondria, you can significantly move the needle in your state of health and disease.

Mitochondrial integrity leads to outstanding neuroprotective effects and incremental improvements in cellular bioenergetics, enabling the body to be more conducive to healing.
Our mitochondria are the fountainhead of our cellular energy processes and produce adenosine triphosphate for us mediated by their electron transport chain technology.
Oxidative phosphorylation is the main source of energy in eukaryotic cells. As mentioned above, the end result of this process is the creation of ATP, and our mitochondria are the structural organelle that mitigates the oxidative phosphorylation chain. At the cellular level, 80% of the available oxygen is used by the mitochondria, while only 20% is used by other organelles.
Hyperbaric Oxygen has been clinically proven to revitalize the mitochondria and increase ATP formation by providing supraphysiologic amounts of oxygen necessary for cellular respiration.
As mitochondria degeneration and dysfunction are thought to be two of the primary etiologies of ageing and possibly cancer, these findings are significant to our everyday lives and health.
The diffusion gradient experienced in a Hyperbaric Oxygen chamber drives the oxygen from the plasma directly into the mitochondria – according to Henry’s Law, stating that the amount of dissolved oxygen is proportional to the oxygen partial pressure. Thus, the free dissolved fraction of oxygen now within the plasma has a dominant effect on the mitochondria.
