Red Light Therapy Helps Produce More Cellular Energy

In simplest terms, red light therapy (or photobiomodulation) works by charging your cells. Wavelengths of natural light stimulate your mitochondria, known as the “powerhouse of the cell”. This helps cells produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Adenosine Triphosphate or ADT is a crucial molecule that fuels everything your body does. ATP is an organic compound and hydrotrope providing energy to drive key processes such as muscle contraction. The more ATP energy you make, the better you look, feel, heal and perform.

Benefits of Joovv Red Light Therapy (RLT):

Increases Collagen Production and Heals Cartilage

Joovv Red Light Therapy reduces inflammation and improves blood flow which increases collagen production. Your muscles and cartilage are fueled by collagen. Cartilage is the connective tissue in joints and allows them to bend and connect with bones. Moreover, cartilage provides support to carry the weight of your body without damaging the bones. In conclusion, increasing collagen helps heal damage to cartilage in inflamed joints.

Helps With Depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

Red Light Therapy helps with depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), conditions that may cause you to turn to drugs or alcohol for relief. Joovv light therapy clinical research has largely focused on antidepressant effects after a course of daily light treatment. Growing evidence, however, suggests that immediate improvement in depressed mood may be detectable after a single light session.

Improves Sleep

A study in the Journal of Athletic Training found that 30 minutes of red-light exposure improved sleep and melatonin levels. Research suggests that red light therapy treatments help you feel more alert and ready for your day because you wake up more rested from your sleep. For instance, a study in the Journal of Nature and Science of Sleep found that red lights prevented “sleep inertia.” That’s the feeling of grogginess some people experience when they first wake up.

Increases Testosterone

The Leydig cells are responsible for producing testosterone in the testicles. Energy production is stimulated in the Leydig cells using RLT. This enhanced energy in your cells is believed to help naturally increase testosterone production. This powerful effect within the cell’s mitochondria has been shown in hundreds of clinical studies. Most importantly, the more energy, the stronger the sperm will swim. This is incredibly important in reproductive health, and vital in improving sperm motility.

Pain and Inflammation Relief

Red light therapy increases circulation and blood flow to damaged tissue promoting cellular regeneration. Further, it creates a natural anti-inflammatory effect to support the healing process. As a result, it reduces pain and improves recovery time.

One of the most robust applications of RLT, is its effects on muscles. Studies show improved muscular performance especially when applied to the muscles three hours before exercise. Moreover, it can make exercise-training regimens more effective. It is not therefore surprising that RLT can also help to heal muscle injuries, not to mention reducing muscle pain and soreness after excessive exercise.

Fitness, Performance and Muscle Recovery

Elite pro athletes are using red light therapy to train and recover. Clinical studies have consistently shown that red light therapy improves strength, endurance and muscle growth and, as a result, speeds healing.

In a 2012 study on red light, 20 female athletes received treatment for 30 minutes every night for two weeks. On the other hand, a placebo group didn’t receive light therapy. The results concluded that the RLT participants had improved sleep quality, melatonin levels. In conclusion, RLT supported better sleep and most importantly, improved physical performance and endurance.
You may have heard of red light laser therapy, or photobiomodulation, and wondered – what’s that? Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that delivers concentrated natural light to your skin and cells. Backed by thousands of peer-reviewed medical studies and clinical trials, it’s quick and easy and only takes five to fifteen minutes per day. You simply stand or sit in front of the light and it provides the mitochondria in your cells the natural light they need to make the energy that powers your body.

Why Red Light Laser Therapy Is Beneficial In Co-Occurring Treatment

Many people who are in early recovery experience a variety of post-acute withdrawal symptoms, or PAWS. Some of these symptoms include inflammation in the body, trouble sleeping, restless leg syndrome, muscle aches, and other physical and mental ailments. Red Light Laser Therapy has provided benefits in all of the above, along with reducing pain, swelling, and stiffness. Studies have also shown positive results for the healing of bone and tissue injuries, as well as improved wound and burn healing results. For IV drug users, the Red Light Charger can improve scarring or open wounds on one’s body. It’s also beneficial when rehabbing common sports injuries like tears and strains.

There are benefits for all people who utilize red light therapy, but women over fifty were found to develop significantly higher values of quadricep power and total work, along with decreased levels of fatigue. A meta-analysis in 2013 found that postmenopausal women using red light therapy treatments had better muscle recovery times and improved maximal performance. When women come into treatment, they’re often physically run down as a result of not taking care of themselves, and red light laser therapy helps to improve their physical health at a more rapid pace. Light plays a major role in one’s sleep cycle, and clinical research is showing that red light therapy can improve sleep quality and duration, as well as helping people produce more of their own melatonin. We’re exposed to copious amounts of artificial blue light from digital displays, computers, and cell phones, which is extremely bright and can negatively impact one’s circadian rhythm. Red light has the opposite effect and is ideal for evenings because it has a lower color temperature and is close to the light of a natural sunset.
