The Hypoxico Sierra 100 Altitude Generator brings the benefits of high-altitude training directly to you, simulating altitudes up to 18,000 ft (5,550 m) with fully adjustable oxygen levels.
Trusted by elite athletes, mountaineers, and fitness professionals worldwide, this compact and powerful unit is perfect for:

  • Altitude training at home or in the gym.
  • Pre-acclimatization for mountain adventures or altitude races.
  • Improved VO₂ max, stamina, and metabolic efficiency.
  • Recovery and sleep enhancement using Intermittent Hypoxic Therapy (IHT).


Applications:

Sport performance

Altitude training improves physical performance at sea-level and at altitude by enhancing muscle function and increasing the transport and uptake of oxygen by the body. Through sleeping, exercising, and/or intermittent breathing, individuals and teams can naturally increase power, endurance and recovery.
Through a combination of sleeping in normobaric hypoxia every night and moderately working out at altitude 2-3 times per week, athletes can increase performance to otherwise unachievable levels. Scientific studies have shown improvements in VO2 Max and Lactate Threshold by as much as 10%.

Acclimatization

By sleeping at progressively higher levels of normobaric hypoxia and exercising in hypoxia at home before leaving for an expedition, mountaineers can pre-acclimatize and prepare themselves for exposure to extreme altitudes. Similarly, tourists and vacationers that live at sea level can insure an enjoyable vacation by pre-acclimatizing in their home with a simple IHT program starting 4 weeks beforehand.


Health

  • Hypoxia for Asthma patients: Studies have shown that a proper IHT program can successfully minimize the symptoms of asthma and the occurrence of severe asthmatic episodes. Through its enhancement of mitochondrial (and thus cellular) tolerance to oxidative stress via increased antioxidative enzymes, hypoxic therapy can alleviate asthmatic stress, which is largely a result of the compromised antioxidative defense. In addition, through improvement of cardiovascular/respiratory fitness, hypoxic therapy serves to reduce hyperventilation and hypocapnia (low CO2 levels in the blood). In turn, the desired balance of CO2 andO2 in the blood is maintained, and the severity of asthmatic episodes and chronic bronchial inflammation is reduced.
  • Altitude training and weight loss: People exposed to altitude feel less hungry because levels of leptin (the satiety hormone) surge in the body, while ghrelin (the hunger hormone) remain unchanged. This remained the case even after intense exercise. This is the perfect combination for accelerated weight loss.
  • Recovery and sleep training: Sleeping or resting in a hypoxic environment can deliver measurable benefits. This method, often referred to as Intermittent Hypoxic Exposure (IHE) or Live High – Train Low, helps:
    - Boosted production of Erythropoietin Hormone (EPO) by the kidneys. This stimulates generation of Red Blood Cells.
    - Improve resting oxygen efficiency.
    - Enhance tissue repair and regeneration.
    - Promote deep, restorative sleep.
