Heat Shock Proteins
Sauna use can increase HSPs by up to 16x base levels*
HSPs are directly correlated with muscle regrowth. They also increase protein synthesis.
Growth Hormone
Sauna use can increase growth hormones by up to 5x base levels*

Sauna enhances endurance through increased blood plasma volume, increases blood flow to skeletal muscles, and eases the body’s thermoregulatory response.
Recovery Aid
