Why Zona Plus?

“I use my Zona Plus almost every day to keep my blood pressure right where it should be. What surprised me is this little device has been adding muscle to my biceps, too. I walk around all day feeling pumped!” – Matt Gersper

The zona plus is a game-changing device that improves cardiovascular health. Based on proprietary algorithyms , the Zona Plus creates the perfect handgrip for each user.

Our Story Began in the US Military

Researchers first discovered the science behind the Zona Plus therapy while trying to solve a completely different problem for the U.S. Air Force. The Air Force found many of its fighter pilots were experiencing incidents of “g-force blackout,” a condition that causes temporary vision loss. The problem arose when the Air Force began deploying the F-16 fighter jet. This type of aircraft turns very quickly, putting greater g-force on the pilot.

To find a solution, the Air Force commissioned Dr. Ronald L. Wiley, a respected cardiopulmonary physiologist. As part of his experiments, Dr. Wiley had the pilots grab a steel rod as hard as they could while experiencing g-force under flight conditions. As it turns out, two of the pilots had blood pressure levels that were high enough to make them “pre-hypertensive.” Years later, when Dr. Wiley reviewed the data from his experiments, he found the two pre-hypertensive pilots had dropped their blood pressure to normal after long periods of grabbing the steel rod at maximum squeeze.

As a result of this accidental discovery, he spent many years trying to recreate the blood pressure drops and then maximize them while maintaining a safe procedure. Eventually, Dr. Wiley perfected a computer-controlled handgrip therapy that improves cardiovascular health. He then tested this therapy in multiple controlled studies conducted by physicians and cardiac rehabilitation centers, and found it produced dramatic results in just weeks! This same breakthrough therapy is now available to you with the Zona Plus.
