Proven To Lower Blood Pressure In 10 Clinical Studies

RESPeRATE's ability to generate a significant and sustained reduction in blood pressure was substantiated in 10 separate clinical studies published in peer-reviewed medical journals.

• The studies compared those who used RESPeRATE for 15 minutes a day for 8 weeks to a "control" group, using a walkman with relaxing music¹, a home blood pressure monitoring^4,5 or both.²
• Clinical studies design included five randomized, controlled studies^1,2,5,7, one controlled study⁴, and four open-label studies.^3,6,8,9
• There were 507 participants, average age of 58.
• 78% of participants were already taking blood pressure medications, a third of whom were taking 3 or more medications.
• Average initial office blood pressure of 150/90 mmHg despite other therapies; diet, exercise and/or medications.

The results.

• RESPeRATE users with uncontrolled blood pressure experienced a significant decrease in office blood pressure by up to 36 points systolic and 20 points diastolic (top 10% reductions) with average reduction of 14/8 mmHg points.
• The control treatment reduction was 9/4 mmHg, significantly less than with RESPeRATE.
• The results were similar across genders and medication status.
• The drop in office BP was directly related to the duration of slow breathing; those who used RESPeRATE more achieved better reductions.
• A clinically significant, sustained reduction in blood pressure typically occurred in 3 to 4 weeks.
• Larger reductions in office blood pressure occurred in older individuals and those with higher baseline blood pressures, whether taking antihypertensive medication or not.
• Home blood pressure measurements (for up to 6 months of use¹¹) and 24-hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring^3,9 have verified an all-day, lasting blood pressure lowering effect.
