CVAC Science

Peer-Reviewed Journal Articles

A validation study performed at the University of Hawaii showed that it is potentially the challenge created through the delivery of the patterned low-barometric pressures of the CVAC Process that allows the body to become more efficient at utilizing available oxygen; thus improving the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.

A blinded, placebo-controlled study showed the CVAC Process mirrored the effects of high-intensity exercise on glycolytic energy production in non-diabetic middle-aged men. The men in the study participated in less than three hours of exercise per week..

Some people who are overweight have difficulty with traditional forms of exercise.

In this study, people who were overweight used the CVAC System for 40 minutes a day for 5 days under the supervision of Karen Herbst PhD, MD.  Dr. Herbst reported a statistically significant reduction in weight in those individuals in her study:
