RESPeRATE Ultra
All the power of our original RESPeRATE in just half the size.
What is RESPeRATE?
Harness the natural power of breathing to lower blood pressure
| High blood pressure is generally caused by your blood vessels tightening up and narrowing; this then causes your heart to pump harder. RESPeRATE's unique breathing exercise relaxes constricted blood vessels to reduce high blood pressure. |  |
- When you use RESPeRATE, you put on headphones and attach a sensor around your chest.
- RESPeRATE's breathing sensor automatically analyzes your individual breathing pattern and creates a personalized melody composed of two distinct inhale and exhale guiding tones.
- Simply listen to the melody through the headphones, and your body's natural tendency to follow external rhythms will enable you to easily synchronize your breathing to the tones.
- By gradually prolonging the exhalation tone to slow your breathing, RESPeRATE leads you to the therapeutic zone of less than 10 breaths per minute.
- Within a few minutes, the muscles surrounding the small blood vessels in your body relax, blood flows more freely, and your blood pressure is significantly reduced.
Clinical Support
RESPeRATE is the only non-drug solution for lowering blood pressure with such an extensive amount of clinical support.
Clinical highlights:
- Ten clinical studies have proven the effectiveness of RESPeRATE on lowering blood pressure. The results have been published in reputable journals such as the American Journal of Hypertension and Journal of Human Hypertension
- The California Technology Assessment Forum (CTAF), a program of the Blue Shield of California Foundation, unanimously agreed that RESPeRATE is a safe and effective medical approach to treat hypertension.
- RESPeRATE is now featured in more than 20 popular and professional text books including Mayo Clinic’s On High Blood Pressure and the American Heart Association’s Hypertension Primer.
The Blood Pressure Lowering Results Demonstrated by RESPeRATE
Graph: RESPeRATE lowers high blood pressure by up to 36 points systolic and 20 points diastolic (top 10% reductions), as shown in seven separate clinical trials with average reductions of 14/8 points.
- RESPeRATE users with uncontrolled blood pressure experienced a significant decrease in office blood pressure by up to 36 points systolic and 20 points diastolic (top 10% reductions) with average reduction of 14/8 mmHg points.
- The control treatment reduction was 9/4 mmHg, significantly less than with RESPeRATE.
- The results were similar across genders and medication status.
- The drop in office BP was directly related to the duration of slow breathing. Those who used RESPeRATE more achieved better reductions.
- A clinically significant sustained reduction in blood pressure typically occurred in 3 to 4 weeks.
- Larger reductions in office blood pressure occurred in older individuals and those with higher baseline blood pressures, whether taking antihypertensive medication or not.
- Home blood pressure measurements (for up to 6 months of use7) and 24-hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring3,9 have verified an all-day, lasting blood pressure lowering effect.
