Red light therapy may support your mitochondria, the tiny energy factories inside your cells, and help them produce more energy.

Potential red light therapy benefits include:
• Increased cellular energy production
• Reduced oxidative stress
• Increased nitric oxide to support circulation

You don’t necessarily need an expensive red light panel to see benefits. A significant portion of sunlight is made up of red and infrared light.

Red light targets superficial tissues like the skin and hair follicles, while near-infrared light penetrates deeper to support muscles and joints.

Research has shown positive results using red light therapy for hair loss, knee osteoarthritis, fatigue associated with fibromyalgia, cognitive decline, and more.

Check with your healthcare professional before using red light therapy, especially if you have an existing medical condition or take medications or supplements that increase light sensitivity.
