We spend 90% of our time indoors, where the air can be up to ten times more polluted than outside. Pet dander, hidden mold, and indoor allergens can exacerbate asthma and allergy symptoms, impacting sleep and daily activities.
Chronic exposure to indoor pollutants is linked to severe health conditions like cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Jaspr Pro is your silent guardian, capturing 99.9% of ultra-fine particles as small as 0.1 microns, including dust, dander, mold, and allergens, delivering clean, fresh air to your lungs.

"Without air, there is no life. The impact that air has on your sleep, on your recovery, on your cognitive function is profound. When you are in a polluted state that gives you a baseline amount of anxiety and stress that never goes away." — Mike Feldstein
"Anything that you believe to be true about the importance of food and nutrition on your health, on your sleep, on your being, on your inflammation, is likely also true for air." — Mike Feldstein
"Outside, there are air currents. We live in rivers of air. Your home is a stagnant body of air, and the energy is not flowing. And now it's become these airtight Tupperware boxes that we spend 95% of our time in that are filled with toxins, chemicals, VOCs, paints, and moldy materials." — Mike Feldstein
