RESPeRATE lowers your blood pressure |
RESPeRATE is an interactive breathing device that helps you control your blood pressure by lowering it to safe levels. It’s bio-feedback for breath control. No, you don’t need a mint. The idea is that if you are breathing properly your BP will go down. But not when you make the initial purchase at a price of $290. So from there it would have to go.
The device will automatically analyze your breathing pattern and create a personal melody for you, composed of two distinct inhale and exhale guiding tones, delivered through the earphones. Just listen to the melody and synchronize your breathing to the tones. By prolonging the exhalation tone it helps you slow your breathing and reach the “therapeutic zone” of less than 10 breaths per minute. So what does that do exactly? They say that the muscles around small blood vessels in your body will relax.
Seems to be some sort of calming CD or herbal tea would be much cheaper.

As the Manager of Scientific Affairs at InterCure, the developer of RESPeRATE, I’d like to make an important clarification to this post. RESPeRATE is not a calming CD and should not be compared to one from a pricing perspective. Sure — a CD or herbal tea is a lot cheaper than RESPeRATE, but unfortunately it won’t lower your blood pressure over the long term.
RESPeRATE is interactive, adapting its output based on the user. Something a CD just cannot do for the listener. It is intelligent, with an algorithm that analyzes in real time how to build a musical pattern that gradually changes the shape and mode of your breathing enough that sympathetic activity is reduced but not enough that the user notices or has to exert effort. Published studies have shown that within 3-4 weeks of regular use, there is an all-day reduction in blood pressure, so it doesn’t matter how you breathe outside of your sessions with RESPeRATE, just as long as you use it consistently.
RESPeRATE is engineered within a quality system that adheres to FDA regulations as a Class II medical device. It comes with unlimited phone or web-based Customer Care support to ensure the user is reaching maximal results. It is guaranteed with a 30 day Satisfaction Guarantee to lower your blood pressure. In all these ways and many more, it is patently different from a calming CD and, if it should be compared to anything, it may be most comparable to a prescription drug.
