The Power of Light Therapy

Light therapy, specifically red and near-infrared light, has numerous benefits on various levels. It can positively impact body fat, muscle mass, mood, brain function, and more. By providing the body with natural melatonin building blocks and co-factors, light therapy can help the body naturally produce melatonin, improving sleep quality. New advancements in sleep breakthrough products contain vitamin B6, magnesium, and zinc, targeting different sleep pathways for quick and effective results. Additionally, light therapy helps control cellular biology through its effects on neurogenesis, the growth of new neurons. Lion's main extract, found in Collagenix, boosts neurogenesis, aiding in brain health and functions like memory and rewiring habits. Light therapy enhances mitochondrial function, ATP production, and cellular respiration. Although there is ongoing research on pulsing frequencies, continuous wave therapy is proven effective. Light therapy delivers high doses of specific wavelengths that restore cellular function efficiently and conveniently.
