Mimicking The Body’s Repair Signal
- ENG3's NanoVi mimics the body's repair signal by producing a specific wavelength without creating reactive oxygen species.
- It uses humidified, wavelength‑treated water droplets to transfer an energy state change across mucous membranes into cells.
Evidence Of DNA Double‑Strand Repair
- NanoVi has demonstrated repair of double‑strand DNA damage, a notoriously difficult lesion to fix.
- Repairing such DNA damage may help explain long‑lasting recovery after severe cellular insults.
Ordered Water Powers Protein Folding
- NanoVi bombards water droplets with wavelengths absorbed by water to create more coherent, "ordered" water molecules.
- That ordered water donates organized energy to proteins, improving their folding and function.
