What does HIF-1a do in the body?

What exactly does HIF-1a do, and why do we want to stimulate it?

HIF-1a is an oxygen sensor in our bodies.

Alongside other key molecules like Reactive Oxygen Species and Sirtuins, which all talk to each other and stimulate each other, HIF-1a plays a crucial role in initiating cellular cascades that create the results and benefits that we’re all seeking with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).
