HBOT & YOUR BODY’S OWN REPAIR CELLS
One of the most interesting areas of HBOT research is its effect on the body’s own stem and progenitor cells.
A human study looking at Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at 2.0 ATA found that circulating CD34+ cells approximately doubled after a single HBOT session.
After a course of 20 sessions, researchers reported an approximately 8-fold increase.
These cells are involved in the body’s natural repair and regeneration processes, and the researchers found that HBOT stimulated their release from the bone marrow into the circulation.
It’s a great example of how HBOT isn’t simply about delivering more oxygen during a session. Exposure to oxygen under pressure can trigger biological responses that continue beyond the time spent inside the chamber.
