How Altitude Rx Works

Each ingredient in Altitude Rx has been shown to reduce the occurrence and duration of Acute Mountain Sickness in controlled clinical studies.

The active ingredients in Altitude Rx safely and effectively:

Maximize Energy and Endurance
Maximize Oxygen Levels
Fend off the Negative Effects of High Altitude Induced Stress

Ginkgo biloba has a remarkable ability to increase blood flow throughout the body, enabling it to cope better with decreased atmospheric oxygen levels. The leaf extracts have antioxidant properties which increase vasodilation and peripheral blood flow in the capillary vessels. Ginkgo also decreases blood viscosity and helps regulate cerebral energy metabolism.

The results of recent studies are the most compelling data to date supporting the efficacy of Ginkgo biloba in prevention of AMS. In these studies, the group taking Ginkgo biloba had no increase in their AMS score (which is remarkable), while the acetazolamide and placebo groups showed increases of 36% and 54%, respectively. The authors concluded that their study provides evidence supporting the use of Gingko biloba in the prevention of AMS, demonstrating that 24 hours of pre-treatment with Gingko biloba and subsequent maintenance during exposure to high altitude are sufficient to reduce the incidence of AMS in participants with no previous high-altitude experience.

Rhodiola rosea has been categorized as an adaptogen by scientists due to its ability to increase resistance against a variety of chemical, biological and physical stressors and to help the body to recover homeostasis. Rhodiola rosea is also known for it's ability to fight fatigue and increase energy. Rhodiola also promotes faster adaptation to climatic changes.

Athletes have used Rhodiola to improve increase endurance and improve performance. It is also believed to increase strength and shorten recovery after strenuous and prolonged endurance events and workouts.

Rhodiola also has been shown to reverse the effects of asthenia. It reduces fatigue, labored breathing, rapid heart rate, sluggishness, and excessive sleeping.

Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body's cells. When our body's cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (by-products) which can cause damage. ALA, Vitamin C and Vitamin E all work in a synergistic manner to protect our body's cells from free radical damage.  In a recent study, antioxidant supplementation (alpha-lipoic acid, Vitamin C and E) at high altitude was shown to be an effective intervention for reducing AMS and improving the physiological profile of mountaineers at high altitude. This study was done with mountaineers climbing Mt. Everest.

Who can get altitude sickness?Anyone who goes to high altitude can get Acute Mountain Sickness. It is primarily related to individual genetics and how fast you go up. There is no difference in age, gender, physical fitness, or previous visits. Some people acclimatize quickly, and have no problems; others acclimatize slowly and feel bad for a few days and others progress to the more serious forms.  There is no way to predict who is likely to get sick at high altitudes

What is Acclimatisation?The main cause of altitude sickness is going too high too quickly. Flying to a high altitude destination does not allow the body to acclimate quickly. With time however, your body will adapt to the decrease in oxygen at a specific altitude. This process is known as acclimatisation and generally takes one to three days at any given altitude, e.g. If you go from sea level to 5,000 feet and spend several days at that altitude, your body will acclimatise to 5,000 feet. If you then climb to 10,000 feet your body has to acclimatise once again.

Your body undergoes several changes to deal with the decreased oxygen levels at higher altitudes:

You breath faster and deeper
You experience shortness of breath with exertion
You will exhibit a different breathing pattern as you sleep
You will awaken more frequently at night
Your body's hematocrit will increase as more red blood cells are produced.
You will experience increased urination
The body increases productions of an enzyme that causes the release of oxygen from haemoglobin to the body tissues.
All of these changes are a normal response to decreased oxygen level.

Take just four capsules on the day before you head to high elevation. And continue to do so consistently during you're stay in the mountains, and you will be able to:

 Reduce the symptoms of Altitude Sickness
 Be free to enjoy every moment of your trip to the mountains
 Feel as energized and fit as the people who live year-round at altitude
 Avoid wasting time feeling rotten in your room or tent on your first days in the mountains
 Feel confident using this all-natural nutritional supplement that's completely free of side effects
 Gain an edge on some alpine athletes in competitions
 Feel less anxious and stressed out (one of the lesser-known symptoms of AMS)
 Greatly reduce the chance of ending up in the emergency room with altitude sickness
 And prevent your precious vacation or business-travel time from getting wasted on being sick.
