Ingredients
First Endurance continues to lead the endurance nutrition category with OptygenHP, the next-generation of Optygen. This revolutionary formula is the result of human clinical trials and the latest scientific research on increasing endurance and performance. New features include Beta-Alanine as well the most potent Rhodiola available.
The two main adaptogens in OptygenHP were first used by Tibetan Sherpas to help them climb Mt. Everest. Clinical research on elite endurance athletes has shown these adaptogens to:
-Boost Explosive Muscular Strength & Power Output
-Improves Oxygen Utilization
-Increase aerobic threshold
-Reduce Lactic Acid
-Increases Muscular Anaerobic Endurance
Next Generation Optygen Formula
First Endurance continues to lead the endurance nutrition category by introducing OPTYGENHP, the next-generation of Optygen. This revolutionary formula is the result of human clinical trials and the latest scientific research on increasing endurance and performance. New features include Beta-Alanine as well the most potent Rhodiola available. The two main adaptogens in OPTYGENHP were first used by Tibetan Sherpas to help them climb Mt. Everest. Optygen and OPTYGENHP utilize these two unique adaptogens because clinical research on elite endurance athletes has shown them to:
Increase oxygen utilization (1)
Increase the body’s ability to adapt to high levels of physical stress (1)
Increase aerobic threshold and reduce lactic acid (2)
"Since I started to use Optygen and PreRace in 2007, I’ve captured all three Grand Tour titles. Based on these results, OpytgenHP and PreRace will certainly continue to be part of my daily racing and training routine."
–Alberto Contador
NOW WITH BETA-ALANINE
Each serving of OPTYGENHP provides 1,000mg Beta-Alanine per serving. Beta-Alanine is supported by wealth of cutting-edge human clinical research showing it increases muscular endurance, boosts strength, improves exercise capacity (so you can exercise longer) and delays muscular fatique (3). The mechanism behind Beta-Alanine works synergistically with the adaptogens, chelated chromium and ATPro in OPTYGENHP, to help endurance athletes maximize performance.
THE MOST POTENT RHODIOLA AVAILABLE
Additionally, First Endurance has sourced the most potent Rhodiola available. The new OPTYGENHP formula contains 5% rosavin and contains 67% more actives than the Rhodiola that’s in the original Optygen formula. Clinical studies on elite endurance athletes have shown that it is the rosavins in Rhodiola that play a critical role in allowing the body to adapt to high levels of physical stress.
