INCREASE ENERGY

INCREASE FOCUS, PRODUCTIVITY AND ALIVENESS

Cold water immersion stimulates the metabolic system by stimulating the function of mitochondria to produce more ATP. Activation of the sympathetic nervous system increases norepinephrine levels by 530% through the cold shock response.

STIMULATE METABOLISM

INCREASE VITALITY, LONGEVITY AND FAT BURNING

Metabolic efficiency is one of the most important indicators of longevity and health duration. Cold water immersion has been shown to increase metabolic rate by up to 350%, strengthen mitochondrial function, and improve insulin sensitivity. Research also suggests that activating brown adipose tissue may help put the body into fat-burning mode, thereby reducing waistline.

IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH

REDUCE FEARS AND STRESS, LIFT YOUR MOOD

The cold stimulus activates natural mood enhancers such as endorphins and dopamine by up to 250%, which can help promote positive feelings. Additionally, induction of the cold shock protein RBM3 is known to protect against neurodegeneration, improve cognitive functions, and promote neuroplasticity in humans.

REDUCE CHRONIC INFLAMMATION

FEEL STRONG, RESILIENT AND FREE

Chronic inflammation can lead to autoimmune diseases and negative health consequences. Cold water immersion can be helpful in reducing an overactive inflammatory immune response, relieving pain, and improving quality of life.

REDUCE MUSCLE SORENESS

ACCELERATE RECOVERY, INCREASE MOBILITY & BOOST PERFORMANCE

Cold water immersion has become one of the most popular recovery strategies that athletes adopt for training and competition. A systematic review with meta-analysis of 68 papers highlighted that cold water immersion decreases inflammation, soreness, perceived fatigue, and drastically increases perceived recovery.

STRENGTHEN IMMUNE FUNCTION

CHARGE YOUR HEALTH

A healthy immune response not only fights infections, invaders and pathogens, but also supports athletic recovery. Cold water immersion can help increase white blood cell counts, including T lymphocytes, and reduce autoimmune reactions and chronic inflammation.

SHARPEN YOUR PERCEPTION

INCREASE CONCENTRATION, PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFECTIVENESS

Low norepinephrine levels are a known cause of depression, reduced concentration and impaired cognitive function. The cold shock of immersion in cold water triggers a strong norepinephrine response, which is related to alertness, concentration, attention, and mood. Additionally, performing cognitive tasks or mind games while immersed in cold water can help improve memory and executive functions.
