Xenon and sport

Why to have Xenon inhalation
an undeniable advantage over others?

Being amazingly bioactive, Xenon is found to marginally increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of human blood.

You might already know that our cells need to maintain proper oxygen levels to maintain their aerobic metabolism and energy generation. Xenon help in the latter in a very smart way. Xenon is one of the few agents that are known for their ability to activate the production of HIF-1α ( Hypoxia-inducible factors). Xenon is one of the few agents that are known for their ability to activate the production of HIF-1α, which triggers other proteins to rush to the rescue of oxygen-deprived tissues. One of those proteins is erythropoietin (EPO), which is basically a hormone that boosts the formation of red blood cells in the bone marrow. which triggers other proteins to rush to the rescue of oxygen-deprived tissues. One of those proteins is erythropoietin (EPO), which is basically a hormone that boosts the formation of red blood cells in the bone marrow.


Inhalation of Xenon has been found to increase erythropoietin levels in healthy individuals, which, in turn, boosts their stamina and energy levels.

What it really does is stimulates low-level hypoxia (a condition wherein there is a deficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues). This, in turn, stimulates the body to produce blood so that it does a better job of taking in oxygen. If I have to say the same thing in technical terms, I'd say that the inhalation of xenon increases erythropoietin (EPO) levels, a hormone that increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood by encouraging the formation of red blood cells. It should be noted that, due to the same characteristic, synthetic EPO is used to treat patients with kidney diseases and anemia.

Thus, inhaling Xenon could boost your stamina and energy, thereby giving you an unfair advantage over other competing athletes. In addition to that, another major advantage that these noble gases offer is that they 'clear out' from the body within hours, but their performance-enhancing effects can last for days.
