The Science of Oxygen: Why More Air Means More Output

You don’t need another productivity hack.

You need more oxygen.

Your brain is 2% of your body weight — but uses 20% of your oxygen.
When you breathe shallow, chaotic, or through your mouth, you’re not giving it enough fuel.

More air isn’t a luxury. It’s the foundation of performance.

Here’s why oxygen changes everything — and how Labore Nasal Strips make sure you get more of it, all day.


🧬 Why Oxygen Is Performance Fuel

Every decision, every rep, every creative idea starts with one thing: cellular energy.
And oxygen drives it.

Benefits of higher oxygen delivery:

  • Faster brain processing

  • Better memory and learning

  • Longer attention span

  • Lower resting heart rate

  • Improved endurance (mental + physical)

If your oxygen drops, everything slows down: thinking, reacting, and recovering.


😤 The Mouth Breathing Problem

When you mouth breathe:

  • Oxygen delivery drops

  • CO₂ tolerance decreases → stress rises

  • Cortisol spikes (hello, anxiety)

  • Focus becomes short and erratic

You’re running your brain on low fuel — even with coffee, supplements, or sleep.


👃 Nasal Breathing Fixes It — Instantly

Breathing through the nose:

  • Produces nitric oxide, which improves blood flow and oxygen absorption

  • Keeps breathing slower and deeper

  • Activates the parasympathetic system (calm focus mode)

  • Delivers more oxygen to the prefrontal cortex (decision-making center)

You don’t need to work harder.
You need to breathe smarter.


✅ How Labore Nasal Strips Turn Science Into an Edge

Knowing this is one thing.
Sustaining it is another.

Labore strips:

  • Instantly open nasal valves → maximize airflow

  • Stay on for hours (work, training, travel, or sleep)

  • Keep you in controlled nasal breathing without effort

  • Make “optimal breathing” your default state


❌ Why Magnetic Bands Can’t Deliver This

Magnetic nose bands?
They fail on every metric:

  • ❌ Weak adhesion — fall off easily

  • ❌ Painful pressure on cartilage

  • ❌ Skin irritation and rashes

  • ❌ Zero evidence they improve oxygen flow

  • ❌ Built for aesthetics, not science

They’re hype.
Labore is results.


🔁 Protocol: Oxygenate Your Day

Morning:

  • Apply Labore Nasal Strip

  • 10 slow breaths (4s in, 6s out)

Work:

  • Keep strip on during deep focus blocks

  • Stack with Lion’s Mane for clean mental energy

Training:

  • Use strips to improve endurance and recovery

Evening:

  • Keep nasal breathing overnight for deeper, restorative sleep


🧠 Final Word: Oxygen Is Your Advantage

You don’t need to reinvent your workflow.
You just need to fuel your brain and body the way they’re designed to work.
