Use the device during sleep or during exercise as directed on the packaging. Begin with nighttime use to assess comfort and fit before incorporating it into training sessions.
The Intake Breathing Starter Kit is a nasal breathing device designed to support better airflow through the nose during sleep and physical activity. Rather than a supplement in the traditional sense, this is a wearable breathing aid - one that works by mechanically opening the nasal passages to reduce resistance and encourage nasal over mouth breathing.
Nasal breathing has a well-documented role in sleep quality. Breathing through the nose filters and humidifies air, and promotes the production of nitric oxide, which plays a role in vasodilation and oxygen delivery. Mouth breathing during sleep is associated with poorer sleep architecture, snoring, and next-day fatigue. For athletes, nasal breathing during lower-intensity effort trains respiratory efficiency and may support recovery.
This kit suits anyone who wakes unrefreshed, snores mildly, or simply wants to trial nasal breathing as part of a structured sleep hygiene routine. It is also used by runners and endurance athletes working on breathing mechanics during training. The device is non-invasive and requires no prescription.
As a mechanical device rather than a chemical intervention, there are no ingredient interactions to consider, making it a practical first step before exploring pharmaceutical or supplemental sleep aids. The Starter Kit format means you receive what you need to begin trialling the approach straightforwardly.

Sign inIt is a physical nasal breathing device, not an ingestible supplement. It works mechanically to support nasal airflow, so there are no active ingredients, allergen considerations, or drug interactions to account for.
People who snore mildly, wake feeling unrefreshed, or breathe through their mouth at night are the most common candidates. Endurance athletes looking to train nasal breathing mechanics during lower-intensity sessions also use devices like this.
There is no fixed timeline — it depends on how significantly mouth breathing was affecting your sleep to begin with. Many users notice a difference within the first few nights, but a fair trial is typically a couple of weeks.
As a non-invasive mechanical device, nightly use is generally considered safe. If you experience any skin irritation or discomfort, check the fit and refer to the guidance included in the kit.
Nasal breathing devices may help reduce snoring associated with mouth breathing or nasal congestion. They are not a treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea — if you suspect OSA, speak to a clinician before relying on a device like this.

Was sceptical but my partner had been complaining about my snoring for months. First night using this I apparently made far less noise. I noticed I woke up feeling less groggy too — not sure if that's placebo but I'll take it. Easy to fit once you get the hang of it.

I'd been reading about nasal breathing for a while and didn't want to jump straight into something pharmaceutical. This kit felt like a sensible place to start. Been using it for about three weeks now and I do feel I'm sleeping more soundly. Takes a night or two to get used to wearing it but after that you barely notice it.

The device itself does what it claims — I've been breathing more through my nose at night and my sleep tracker is showing better deep sleep scores. My gripe is that the starter kit only comes with one size option to try first, and I had to order a different size separately before it felt truly comfortable. A two-size trial pack would be more useful at this price point.

Been using this during easy runs as well as at night. It feels odd at first when you're jogging with it but I've got used to it. Sleep quality feels better overall — less of that dry-mouth wake-up I used to get.

Bought this after a friend mentioned it. Simple concept, works mechanically so no pills or patches to worry about. I travel a fair bit for work and it's small enough to chuck in a washbag. Definitely helps on overnight flights where I'd usually wake up feeling dreadful.

I was using those adhesive nasal strips for ages and this is a much better solution. More comfortable, reusable, and I feel like airflow is genuinely improved. Would recommend to anyone who wakes up tired for no obvious reason.
