Nature trail - negative ions from nature

Research

NION's Patent-Pending NCS-330mV™ Crystalline Matrix offers a higher voltage of negative bioelectric potential than any other electrolyte. NION works via regeneration, not stimulation.

BIOELECTRIC NUTRITION

The body uses electrical signals (voltage from negative and positive ions) for cellular energy, repair, intercellular communication, and general functionality. While researching energy production, it became clear that cells need negative ions to function. Negative ions are essential for hydration, energy, vitality, healthy aging, and improved mood. This is Bioelectric Nutrition.

Studies at Montana State University's
Human Performance Lab

Daniel Heil, Ph.D. FACSM (Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine), conducted two double-blind placebo-controlled studies at the Montana State University Human Performance Lab. Those studies and a detailed white paper are linked below.

Effects on Markers Of Endurance and Performance

Daniel Heil, Ph.D., Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine conducted this double-blind placebo-controlled study. SPOILER ALERT: After the 7-day loading phase subjects experienced significantly lower cardiorespiratory stress, lower blood lactate responses, and higher upper body power measures.

Measures of Health and Aerobic Performance

Daniel Heil, Ph.D., Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine conducted this double-blind placebo-controlled study at the Montana State University Human Performance Lab. SPOILER ALERT: After 7 days of consuming NION Health® subjects measured significantly lower heart rate, blood lactate, and rate of perceived exertion. They also experienced significantly higher maximal oxygen consumption (VO2MAX) and time-to-exhaustion.

Key Terms

Cardiorespiratory: the circulatory and respiratory system's ability to supply oxygen to the skeletal muscles during sustained physical activity.

Low blood lactate: the body tissue is getting enough oxygen. (High blood lactate levels can cause muscle cramps and body aches, exhaustion and fatigue, fast deep breathing, and nausea and vomiting)

Maximal Oxygen Consumption (VO2MAX): an indicator of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance, the maximum amount of oxygen an individual can utilize during intense exercise.

Time-to-Exhaustion, AKA Functional Threshold Power: the maximum duration at which a given workout rate (power output or intensity) can be sustained.

Biogenesis: the ability of living organisms to renew themselves.

Mitochondria: cell organelles that generate the energy necessary to power cells.

Mitophagy: removing damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria.

Autophagy: the body‘s process of reusing old and damaged cell parts.
