Why It Matters

Potential Health Effectsof  Limited Airflow.

Chronic mouth breathing is linked to cardiovascular strain, disrupted sleep, and oral health problems.

  • High Blood Pressure: A Silent Killer

    Poor sleep quality and intermittent hypoxia are linked with elevated blood pressure over time.

  • Snoring: A Red Flag for Sleep Apnea

    Open-mouth sleep can narrow the airway and increase the likelihood of snoring, disrupting deep sleep.

  • Dry Mouth Can Lead to Gum Disease

    Mouth breathing can dry out saliva, the body's natural defense against cavities and gum disease.

  • Lower Endurance & Faster Fatigue

    Oral-only breathing tends to drive faster, shallower breaths which are less efficient in CO₂ exchange and waste energy.

  • Mouthbreathing Can Misshape Facial Development

    In children, mouth breathing can change how facial features develop, potentially leading to narrower jaws, longer faces, and smaller airways.

    Better breathingchanges everything.

    What Sets Us Apart

    Intake opens wider, holds stronger,and never collapses.

    Intake

    Intake offers rekiable performance: its sturdy band keeps your nose fully open, while gentle adhesive ensures it stays secure all day or night. Designed for sensitive skin, it uses minimal adhesive and wicks sweat, making it ideal for intense workouts or uninterrupted, restful sleep.

    Nasal Strips

    Nasal strips have major flaws: they collapse under deep breaths, often end up stuck to your pillow instead of your nose, and can irritate delicate skin with their harsh adhesives. Plus, they can’t handle moisture—falling apart the moment you start to sweat.

        The Problem

        Restricted airflow is a hidden epidemic.

        Most people don't realize they're mouth breathing, or how much damage it's doing. These numbers paint the picture.

        80%

        Have a Deviated Septum

        Septal deviation can cause chronic congestion, sleep disturbance, and restricted airflow.

        25%

        Chronic Nasal Congestion

        25% of Americans experience chronic, long-lasting nasal congestion that limits everyday breathing.

        56%

        Suffer From Snoring

        90 million American adults snore. 40% of men and 24% of women are habitual snorers.

        How It Works

        Your body was designed to breathe through your nose.

        • schedule

          Nitric Oxide Production

          Your paranasal sinuses produce nitric oxide, a molecule that dilates blood vessels and increases oxygen absorption in the lungs.

          ↑ 10–15% more oxygen uptake

        • favorite

          Parasympathetic Activation

          Nasal breathing stimulates the vagus nerve, shifting your nervous system into "rest and digest" mode, lowering heart rate and cortisol.

          ↓ Cortisol & stress response

        • shield

          Air Conditioning

          Your nasal passages warm, humidify, and filter air before it reaches the lungs, trapping bacteria, allergens, and particulates.

        • vital_signs

          CO₂ Tolerance

          Nose breathing maintains optimal carbon dioxide levels, which improves the Bohr effect: the release of oxygen from hemoglobin to tissues.

          Better O₂ delivery to muscles

          Diaphragmatic Engagement

          Nasal breathing encourages deeper, diaphragmatic breaths, increasing lung volume and improving respiratory efficiency over time.

          ↑ Lung capacity utilization

          Melatonin Regulation

          Consistent nasal breathing during sleep supports proper melatonin and cortisol cycling, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

          • Your dentist will notice.

            Mouth breathing dries out saliva, your teeth's defense system. Keeping your mouth closed protects against cavities and gum disease.

            "My dentist recommended Intake Breathing during a visit when we were talking about mouth breathing and dry mouth. I decided to try it, and I'm really glad I did."

            Intake Tab Refills

            Our Tabs are made of 100% medical grade, latex-free, hypoallergenic 3M materials. We combine three layers of proprietary materials to achieve a sweat-wicking, incredibly sticky, stay-all-day, and night effect. Inside of each Tab is a small steel disc that the magnets inside the Band attract to.

            Watch people's  first reactio n  to Intake.

            The moment the band clicks into place and the nasal valve opens — that first deep breath catches everyone off guard.

            Frequently asked questions.

            Do the magnets go inside your nose?

            No — Intake sits comfortably on the outside of your nose. The magnets are secured on the ends of the reusable Band, and the breathing Tabs (which contain a steel disk the magnet attaches to) adhere to the outer skin on your nose, just above each nostril. Nothing goes inside.

            Yes. Intake was originally designed for motocross and high-intensity sports where sweat, movement, and helmets make adhesion tough. Apply to clean, dry skin, press firmly for 10–15 seconds, and they'll stay put through workouts and full nights of sleep.

            Intake can open your nose up to 70% wider than disposable nasal strips. Intake is a strong, rigid Band that comfortably holds your nose open to a fixed point. Nasal strips collapse upon inhale and don't hold your nose open as wide. Plus, nasal strips pull the skin off the bridge of your nose — they're painful and leave your nose red and irritated. Intake won't do that. The Band pulls from medical-grade adhesive that gently holds to the sides of your nose.

            Yes! Most people don't even realize they have restricted airflow — 4 in 5 people have some degree of nasal dysfunction. It's not until they wear Intake that they notice the difference. Even a physiologically perfect nose isn't able to deliver enough oxygen to the body on its own during increased heart rates, so you won't be able to reap the full benefits of nasal breathing without a nasal dilator. We designed Intake to open your nose to its widest capacity, and keep it open.

            Intake uses medical-grade, hypoallergenic adhesive that is latex-free, FDA registered, and made in the USA. Always apply Tabs to clean, dry skin — use the included prep wipes or non-moisturizing soap and water, and let it dry before placing your Tabs. If you experience any irritation, stop using the product for two days.

            Our Starter Kits come with 4 band sizes that are our most common and fit 99% of our users. We also offer 2 additional sizes — XS and XXL — for those who need them.

            Absolutely! Nose breathing during activity is more important than you may think. Nose breathing has been proven to boost oxygen absorption, lower your heart rate, optimize performance, and so much more. Intake is suitable for the vast majority of sports, activities, and training regimens. We designed Intake specifically with both athletes and the average gym-goer in mind, and we're happy to say that we hold up exceptionally well for everything from football to yoga to motocross. The only sports that might compromise Intake's wear time are those with substantial facial contact, such as grappling or boxing, and water sports.

            No. Intake is an external nasal dilator. It temporarily and gently supports the nasal valve to improve airflow while worn — your nose returns to baseline when removed.

              "I've started using intake breathing about a year ago to help promote better sleep. Being a mouth breather I have paired intake breathing with mouth tape and my Deep and REM sleep have improved drastically. I then began using Intake breathing on my endurance/cardio days as well as on my Deka race days. It haspromoted better controlled breathing thru high HR zonesand faced paced activities. It alsoaids in my recovery time. Highly recommend!!"
