CO2-enriched water bathing stimulates new capillary growth and increases blood flow
CO2-enriched water bathing causes enhanced induction of local vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) synthesis associated with activation of the NO-cGMP pathway and mobilization of endothelial progenitor cells, resulting in NO-dependent neocapillary formation and increased collateral blood flow.
What this means for you
When your body forms new capillaries and improves collateral circulation, more oxygen and nutrients reach tissues that need them most — muscles, skin, and extremities. Most people notice this as better warmth, faster recovery, and a general sense of vitality in areas that previously felt sluggish or under-supplied.
