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*

Growth hormone speeds healing, repairs muscle tissue after a workout, build muscle mass, and burns fat through increasing metabolism.

Insulin Sensitivity

Tests demonstrate a proven insulin re-sensitization after sauna*

Sauna use has been shown to re-sensitize our bodies to insulin and ease sending glucose to the muscles. Insulin increases protein synthesis and decreases protein degradation.

Endurance

Sauna can increase endurance by 32%*

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

Recovery Aid

Shown to slow muscle atrophy during disuse by up to 32 percent*
