<\/figure>\n\n\n\n It seems that some of the electron transport\nchain is sensitive to light, especially red and infrared (2.) These mechanisms\ndo not seem to be fully investigated, but the light seems to increase ATP\nproduction by an enzyme called Cytochrome c-oxidase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n More energy = more opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The red light does not penetrate so deeply into the skin but has been shown to have positive effects on the production of collagen. Red light can thus give you better and younger skin (3). The red light has also been shown to be effective for healing wounds and injuries (7). In order to have a more systemic effect, the use of infrared light which can penetrate deeper into the body but has the same effect on the energy production in the cells can be used in combination with the red light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Will red \/ infrared light boost your testosterone\nlevels?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As I mentioned earlier, I used my panel\nprimarily to boost my testosterone levels. It is difficult to just point to red\nlight therapy as I have generally changed my entire lifestyle in recent years\nbut from the first to the last measurement my levels today are about 2 to 3\ntimes higher than before and when I use the lamp in the morning I can really\nfeel its effects afterwards. There are also several studies done on the\nsubstance that show the possibility of increased testosterone levels. In a\nstudy from Korea, red light was used in rats and managed to increase their\ntestosterone levels using red light with a wavelength around 670nm after four\ndays (5). ) from 2018 concludes that red and infra red light can be used in male\ninfertility and the light increases sperm mobility and chance of survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are also other areas where red light\ntherapy has been shown to be effective<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Inflammation (9) <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Increases cognitive ability and reduce symtoms of Alzheimer’s disease (8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Hair growth (10) <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Increase athletic performance (11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Treatment of underactive thyroid gland (12) <\/p>\n\n\n\n Red-light therapy from Biohacking collective<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.https:\/\/www.menshealth.com\/health\/a19539973\/i-put-a-giant-red-light-on-my-balls-to-triple-my-testosterone-levels\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2996814\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3926176\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4.https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/327490751_Effect_of_red_light_and_near_infrared_laser_on_the_generation_of_reactive_oxygen_species_in_primary_dermal_fibroblasts<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. https:\/\/www.alliedacademies.org\/articles\/the-effects-of-low-level-laser-therapy-lllt-on-the-testis-in-elevatingserum-testosterone-level-in-rats.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5992952\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 7.https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4751092\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/28580093<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 9. https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/25122099<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 10. https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/28328705<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 11. https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/17295156<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n 12. https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3534372\/\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is red-light therapy and why is it a tool that can help you optimize your health?

Most panels today in the market are expensive and adapted for professional use. We at biohacking collective decided to produce our own lamps because this is something we tested and believe in. We have launched two models for home use one is a panel of 45 w and the other is a lamp of 22.5 W. We hope to give you the benefits of red light therapy for a reasonable price. Our lamps have both red and infrared light with the wavelengths 660 and 880 Nm. These wavelengths are the ones that we found seem to have the greatest effect in the studies we read through during our work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
