First Endurance introduced the world to Optygen back in 2002. Since then, there have been a number of additional studies done that show Optygen helps reduce cortisol levels. By modulating cortisol, you experience better recovery, an increase in VO2, improved oxygen utilization and enhanced performance.

Research
Following exhaustive exercise, athletes fight inflammation, battle oxidative stress, need to repair torn muscle tissue, and have depleted essential glycogen stores. Glycogen is the primary storage carbohydrate in muscles and liver totaling approximately 2,000Kcal in a trained athlete. Muscle glycogen is generally known as the main fuel for strenuous sports activity. Unlike fat, this fuel can be mobilized rapidly under anaerobic condition, which typically occurs under various acute/exhaustive physical exercises.
Glycogen re-synthesis is the process of converting consumed food into stored glycogen. Even with optimal recovery after a hard workout, full glycogen re-synthesis is difficult to attain within 24 hours and subsequent workouts can begin to suffer. This is especially true when working out or racing for multiple days back to back. Having the ability to replenish glycogen to a greater degree allows athletes to bounce back from exhaustive exercise faster and be better prepared for the next day of training or racing.

Amazing Product!
Review by S BayOverall ★★★★★
In February 2013 shortly after having my first child I had my LT tested (treadmill). I started taking OptygenHp in May after I finished nursing. With training and the use of OptygenHp my LT went from 8.5 mph (4.1 mM lactate) to 9.5 mph (4.8 mM lactate) in June of 2013. As for actual race results in my first Olympic distance triathlon of the season (June 2013) I ran a 39:14. (Posted on 3/22/2014)
Not Snake Oil
Review by Peyton HOverall ★★★★★
Many such products can be deemed little more than "snake oil", but Optygen HP really works. Since first implementing Optygen HP into my daily nutrition plan last winter, I have set PRs across the board, and only missed one (unscheduled) day to illness the entire year. Great product!

Extremely Impressed!!!!
Review by RMMOverall ★★★★★
Been using Optygen HP for about 3 months now, with initial expectation being very low. All I can say is this product is true to its word. Everything it claims, it delivers: recovery, energy, power, improved times with less effort, etc!!! I'm extremely impressed and I definitely would recommend!!!! Get a couple bottles and give yourself a gift!! (Posted on 9/5/2013)
Good but costly
Review by JamesOverall ★★★★★
I like the supplement and believe it has helped me recover. The "new and improved" formula may have priced me out though (20% increase). Ouch. (Posted on 7/22/2013)
HP working great
Review by hideanoOverall ★★★★★
not ready to give it 5 stars, but so far I have noticed more energy. I want to go out and train more... recovery is definitely quicker. Remember to do the load up phase then use normally. Best to start 5-6 weeks before you big event unless you get yourself 2 bottles. (Posted on 7/21/2013)
Great Product
Review by TGrizOverall ★★★★★
I'm on my second bottle of the new HP. The main improvements have been in recovery times. While on the bike after hard climbs the recovery time is a lot quicker so I ride faster over all. On the flats I can push harder longer again improving my overall ride times. Also, the over night recovery is better, I don't have that "dead legs" feeling after back to back hard training days.
One side effect that I noticed is that about 45 minutes to an hour after taking the 4 pills I get a prickly heat itch on my entire body, it lasts about 15-20 minutes before going away. It feels like my skin is itching everywhere from the inside out.
Overall I'm very happy with the product and feel it definitely works as advertised. (Posted on 7/10/2013)
