I am curious if anyone has used Altitude Advantage as a pre-stressful workout supplement.
The reason I ask is it is said to "boost oxygen delivery", "Helps reduce fatigue, inflammation, and lactic acid build-up", and "Improves circulation throughout the body, including brain and lungs which are particularly sensitive to low oxygen conditions" to name a few.
My curiosity stems from the last hunt I went on. I trained for it, and I had no issues coming from 1500' and hunting at 9000'. Nothing special except I did take diamox starting a week before - just as insurance. I shot a bull about a 1 1/4 mile downhill from camp. I got it up to camp with the help of others, it wasn't horrible(except the first night hike out), but you could definitely feel it - mostly just being winded, my muscles were fine.
Two days later a guy in camp shot a cow down at the same spot. I was back up at camp when he got her, and before I headed down to help him another guy at camp gave me some pills. I did not know what they were, but he assured me that it would help.
When I was getting close to where the guy was, I started feeling less 'winded', like my body was getting more oxygen. Hard to describe, but just overall not fatigued. I loaded up and headed back up the mountain and it was like night and day from two days before. It was not a placebo effect at all. There was another guy with me when we left camp, he got the pills too, and he stated the same things.
Turns out the pills were from Advocare, and they were O2 Gold, and Muscle Strength. I can only surmise that the main thing was the O2 Gold helping the most.
So, my curiosity now is if the stuff from Wilderness Athlete might help the same thing. Not so much taking them as a pre-altitude adjustment, but using them as a pre-strenuous activity supplement.
Just curious if anyone who has taken them have ever felt some effect 30 to 60 mins after taking them and if it helped with being 'winded'.
