    NO BOUNDRIES, JUST POSSIBILITIES

    CLINICALLY SHOWN TO INCREASE LACTATE THRESHOLD

    Rhodiola and Cordyceps also equip athletes to deal with one constant of endurance training: the lactic acid that lights up your muscles as exercise output outpaces oxygen intake and your energy metabolism goes anaerobic.

    In a clinical study, Optygen increased time to the lactate threshold by 30%, even in highly trained distance runners. When you’re on the limit, that can make all the difference during repeated attacks or when the elastic is stretching and every moment could see it snap. Optygen turns the lactate threshold into a weapon for you – and a weakness for your competition.

    ADAPT TO OVERCOME

    REAP WHAT YOU SOW

    Race-day performance is the result of consistent, incremental efforts in training and recovery. Optygen follows the same principle. Research shows that regular use during periods of intense training delivers measurable performance benefits within weeks, with results that build over time through continued use.

    Q&A

    Q: When should I take Optygen?

    A: It is best to take Optygen in the morning with a meal.

    Q: How long will a bottle last?

    A: Optygen has a 7-day loading phase. Because of this, the first bottle will last 23 days. After the loading phase has been done, each bottle is a 30-day supply.

    Q: Will Optygen help me recover faster?

    A: Yes, it will help you recover. Because Optygen will help you adapt during times of maximum stress, it also aids in recovery.

    Q: Should I ‘cycle’ on and off with Optygen/OptygenHP?

    A: Great question. Both these products work best when you are ‘stressed’, so use the product during stressful training. The cycling period should parallel your training program. In other words, you should be using Optygen/OptygenHP consistently through all hard training blocks/months and go off anytime you have a break or downtime. For some, this means being on the product through most if not all the racing season. For others it might mean cycling off for a week once every 4-6 weeks.

    Q: Is Optygen suitable for vegans?

    A: No. The capsule is made of gelatin.

    Q: Can I give my son and daughter Optygen or OptygenHP?

    A:  Because there haven't been any published clinical studies on people under 18, we do not recommend Optygen or OptygenHP to athletes who are under 18 years of age.  

    Q: What are the ingredients of the capsule?

    A: The capsule is made of Bovine Gelatin without preservatives, includes FDA-approved FD&C Red #40 and Titanium dioxide at 1.5% of capsule weight. (also FDA-approved). It's also Kosher and Halal certified.

    Q: How long will it take before I start noticing the benefits?

    A: You should start experiencing the benefits of Optygen approximately six (6) days after you start taking Optygen.

    Q: What’s the difference between Optygen and OptygenHP? 

    A: Great question! The link below details the differences between Optygen and OptygenHP:

    Q: Why is the bottle glass instead of plastic?

    A: Optygen is packaged in an amber glass bottle. Unlike plastic bottles, amber glass is an impermeable barrier that protects the product from harmful UV light and oxygen degradation.

    Q: Why does Optygen have Cordyceps and Rhodiola Rosea?

    A: Optygen utilizes two adaptogens that are the primary ingredients in the formulation. Patented Rhodiola Rosea and Cordyceps are both found and cultivated in Tibet. Both these herbs play critical roles in allowing the body to adapt to high levels of physical stress (similar to the stress a body is subject to when climbing Everest). It’s these adaptations to hypoxia (lack of oxygen) which led researchers to also test its effects on elite endurance athletes. Both Rhodiola and Cordyceps have been clinically shown to increase VO2Max, lung function, oxygen utilization and anaerobic threshold significantly.

    Q: How should I use Optygen?

    A: For best results, use Optygen during all intense training. Optygen will allow you to train at a higher level by improving the body’s ability to adapt to physical stress, increasing aerobic threshold and reducing lactic acid. These improvements will help you race at a higher level. For best results, Optygen should be used consistently for many months. If you start taking Optygen a week before a race, benefits will be minimal.

    • During long trail runs, Optygen reduced the burning in quads and lungs. I managed steeper sections without slowing as much. Hydration held better, too. Encouraged by how much longer I can sustain effort.

      Noah Thompson

    • In week three of supplementing, my VO2-style intervals are more tolerable. Heart rate drifts less at high output, and I don’t need to pause as often. Legs feel fresher. Big help when training volume ramps up.

      Ava Martinez

    • Last weekend’s mountain ride was brutal but Optygen noticeably buffered the hurt. Climbing pace was steadier, downhill recovery faster. I feel less gassed later in the day. Worth including in weeks.

      Ethan Brooks

    • Using Optygen during morning runs: noticed my pace holds longer before burning out, less lactic burn in calves. Digestion of the capsules is smooth. Energy feels more balanced throughout intense workout days.

      Chloe Rivera

    • Took Optygen consistently for two weeks. My breathing during tempo rides feels easier, and fatigue builds more slowly. Recovery seems better. Hip flexors ache less. Definitely helps on hard endurance days.
