RESPeRATE is
manufactured by InterCure and has gained approval from the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for a device that can treat hypertension. Multiple
studies have shown using RESPeRATE consistently will lower blood
pressure levels. RESPeRATE is the only hypertension treatment approved
by the FDA that does not have any side effects and is available without
a prescription and is classified as over the counter (OTC).
InterCure will
present four new studies to the American Society of Hypertension’s 21st
Annual Scientific Meeting being held in New York that will show the
benefits of using RESPeRATE. The studies show a reduction in the
resistance of narrowed blood vessels to blood flow (peripheral
resistance) which lowered blood pressure.
One study from
South Korea measured Systemic Vascular Resistance Index [SVRI] and other
hemodynamic parameters, heart rate, and blood pressure of 22
hypertensive patients. The groups used RESPeRATE for 15 minutes each
day for an eight week period. The average blood pressure reduction was
12.6/5.3 mmHg. There was not any change in heart rate.
"The practical
implication of our findings is significant," said the lead author, Dr.
Kyung-Hoon Choe from Wonju College of Medicine in South Korea. "This
direct physiological evidence gives us further confidence that the
device lowers blood pressure and treats one of its most significant
contributing factors."
The RESPeRATE
equipment retails for $299. The RESPeRATE patented equipment offers
guided breathing exercises to slow your breathing down from 14 – 18
breaths per minute to a therapeutic zone of 10 breaths. The
manufacturer states that it can take up to 8 weeks for blood pressure
measurements to be lowered. For best results, it is recommended to use
the equipment for 15 minutes each day at least 3 – 4 times per week.
RESPeRATE works by
reducing neural activity which in turn reduces muscle constriction in
muscles that surround the small blood vessels. By relaxing these
muscles you allow the blood to flow without restriction, which results
in lower blood pressure.
The RESPeRATE
adjusts for each user’s breathing pattern and slows the person’s
breathing down by playing a musical tone for breathing in and out. It
takes the person to a slowed breathing pattern in an easy manner.
As each individual
is different, you may still need medication from your doctor to lower
blood pressure. If you take blood pressure medication you should
consult with your doctor before discontinuing any medications. You
should always consult with your doctor before adding any new therapies
or treatments including the RESPeRATE equipment.
