Competitive athletes are specifically trained to breathe through their nose for as long as possible. However, as the turbinates swell under exertion, most people switch to mouth breathing. Performance and endurance decrease.

With the AlaxoLito Xtreme Nasal Stent, it is possible to breathe through the nose for hours during sport, even at high levels of exertion: 

• increases the volume of air inhaled up to more than double
• supports the body's own functions
• increases performance and fitness
• enables better and healthier aerobic sports
• prevents too strong burden on the lungs due to mouth breathing, especially in the case of asthma

A clinical study by the German Sport University Cologne (1) has shown that nasal breathing with stents

• breathing becomes calmer and deeper
• blood circulation (microcirculation) is improved
• the supply of oxygen, NO and nutrients to the muscles becomes more efficient
• the wellness nerve (parasympathetic nervous system) is activated
• the body thereby is better prepared for physical exertion
• recovers more quickly from stress

A good supply of NO increases the activity and performance of the mitochondria (the cells' power plants).

Increased endurance and performance through deep nasal breathing.
