Alary®

Alary® means «wing-shaped» and refers to the nostrils, «the alar part of the nose».

Alary® opens the narrowest part of the nose and prevents the nostrils from pulling inwards (collapsing) when airflow increases during exercise. This allows for 100% nasal breathing during intense physical activity.

Nasal breathing provides health benefits and can lead to increased breathing comfort, enhanced O2 uptake in the lungs, and potentially improved endurance and performance.

Feedback during the test phase indicates increased breathing comfort in general, but also less irritation in the airways from cold winter air, and reduced mouth dryness when exercising outdoors. Indoor tests performed with equal load on the treadmill shows lower heart rate and breathing frequency with nose breathing using Alary®, compared to mouth breathing without Alary®.

Anyone using the correct size Alary® will feel an instant improvement in nasal airflow during exercise. Persons with constant light nasal congestion (stuffy nose) will experience instant improvement also during restitution and rest.

PATENT PENDING

Alary® Active is developed to give your nostrils the support needed to keep your nose open during physical activity and exercise that causes a significant increase in respiratory rate, such as when going for a run.

Alary® Rest is made from softer material and is developed to be comfortable to wear over longer periods of time, such as during the night.  

The idea behind Alary® came to life while our founder Dr. Oddvin Bjørge treated patients as an Ear-Nose-Throat specialist and surgeon. With 20+ years experience from hospitals in Norway, he had seen the need for a product that could help people optimize their breathing, especially during exercise.

He made the first prototype in his own ENT clinic in Ålesund, Norway, and won a prestigious competition for entrepreneurs called Næringsteft based on his prototype only.

During this process he created a strong team with colleague Dr. Håvar Løseth, also a specialist and surgeon with 20+ years experience in the fields of ENT and plastic surgery, and Cecilie Dyb with extensive commercial and international experience.

With help from Norwegian industrial designers at Inventas AS in Trondheim, Norway, we are now able to present a product that will give you instant free breath:
