Frequently Asked Questions

CO₂ is a natural component of metabolism and plays an important role, among other things, in regulating respiration, acid-base balance, and the delivery of oxygen from the blood to the tissues.

There is a solid scientific basis for the physiological functions of CO₂ and the Bohr effect. Depending on the specific application, the body of research varies and should be considered on a case-by-case basis.

This varies from person to person, so there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. How quickly you start to see changes depends, among other things, on your starting point, how regularly you train, and your personal goals. We therefore recommend taking the BOLT test regularly. It’s an easy way to objectively track your progress. Many users notice initial improvements in their BOLT score after about 2 to 3 weeks of regular training.

CO₂ is often referred to as a waste product, but it performs numerous important regulatory functions in the body and is essential for normal physiological processes.

The Bohr effect describes the increased release of oxygen from hemoglobin to the tissues in response to elevated CO₂ levels or changes in pH. It is one of the fundamental concepts of human physiology.
