We take a deep dive into the technology behind Therapin nasal strips, founded by two passionate entrepreneurs, Khai and Cliff, who are strong advocates of wellness.
Nasal strips have been around for quite a while, but recently we’ve seen a surge amongst athletes, especially among the HYROX competitors that go to the gym, runners and fitness enthusiasts. The nasal strips help by expanding on their nasal passage ways to allow more airflow and oxygen intake during workouts, even for high intensity workouts. Whether you're sprinting, lifting, or pushing through a long distance run, it enhances athletic performance breathing and increase oxygen intake naturally.
How does it actually work?
The Therapin nasal strips are designed with flexible slats that help to gently lift and widen your nostrils in order to breathe better during an exercise. By improving airflow and increasing oxygen intake, they can enhance overall performance and endurance during physical activity.
How does it affect breathing?
Nasal breathing is significantly more effective and beneficial than mouth breathing, primarily because it helps to filter out the air before it reaches the lungs, providing cleaner, and more oxygen inflow. It also serves both as a physical aid and a mental cue, helping athletes to stay conscious of breathing through their nose especially through their intense workouts.
Conclusion?
While some argue that it is a placebo effect, others swear by its effectiveness as a natural performance enhancer. It is considered a safe, low risk and affordable product for athletes of all levels. At Therapin, we encourage you to try these nasal strips on and share the experience with us. From the racing track to the court, Gladys Lam (Singapore’s National Race Car Driver), Kirsten Ong (Singapore National Hurdler), and Enzo Chua (National Padel Player), these have become an essential part of their daily training routines.
