The science

More CO2 means more oxygen reaches your tissue.

It sounds backwards, so here is the mechanism: the same one your body uses every second, dialed up on purpose.

Mechanism 01

The Bohr effect

Hemoglobin carries oxygen through your blood, but it only lets go where it is needed. The trigger for release is CO2.

Carbogenetics devices raise CO2 at the skin or in the breath, prompting more oxygen to be released where metabolism is highest. You are not just chasing more oxygen in. You are delivering more of what you already have.

Oxygen unloading
Low CO2 / oxygen stays bound90%90%
Raised CO2 / oxygen released90%99%

Same blood, same lungs. The difference is how much oxygen actually makes it off the carrier and into the cell.

Mechanism 02

Circulation opens up

CO2 is a natural vasodilator. Raising it widens the smallest blood vessels so blood carrying freshly released oxygen can actually get there.

Vasodilation

Wider vessels

CO2 relaxes vessel walls, opening capillaries that are normally too narrow to fully perfuse tissue.

Perfusion

More blood flow

With vessels open and oxygen unloading, more oxygenated blood reaches skin, muscle, and healing tissue.

Lower stress

Calmer tissue

Improved oxygenation supports the tissue's own repair processes rather than fighting against a deficit.

The name

A century-old idea, brought home.

Carbogen is the classic carbon dioxide and oxygen mixture used in medicine and research for over a hundred years. Carbogenetics takes that long-studied principle out of the clinic and engineers it into devices you can use at home.

Where we stand

We are careful about claims. Carbogenetics devices are wellness tools for recovery, circulation, and performance support, not medical treatments. Nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Put the mechanism to work.
