REDi Anywhere | Red Light Therapy Mat

Red light therapy (RLT), also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), is at the forefront of modern recovery science. But what exactly is it, and why is it so impactful?

At its core, red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular processes, enhancing energy production and reducing inflammation. The term "photobiomodulation" reflects the therapy's ability to use light ("photo") to modulate biological processes ("biomodulation"), leading to improved cellular function and overall health.

• Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions.
• Think of mitochondria as engines that utilise fuel to create energy. Mitochondria take nutrients and break them down through a process called cellular respiration, producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body's primary energy currency. For optimal energy production, these engines must function efficiently.
• We have mitochondria in every cell of our body, except red blood cells. They make up about 10% of our body weight. Cells with high energy demands, such as those in the heart, skeletal muscles, liver, pancreas, brain, and nervous system, have thousands of mitochondria per cell.
• Healthy mitochondria lead to healthy cells, tissues, organs, and systems, reducing the risk of disease and enhancing overall health.
• Mitochondria are recognised as one of the most important targets for new drug design in cancer, cardiovascular, and neurological diseases.

Red light, at specific wavelengths, is readily absorbed by chromophores in the mitochondria of the body’s cells, which activates metabolic energy processes. Red and near-infrared wavelengths of light promote ATP production, which boosts energy transport within cells, leading to increased cell proliferation. This boost in the body’s natural healing cycle helps reduce inflammation and promotes healing of damaged tissue.

• Promotes Skin Health: Utilises advanced red light technology (660nm) to encourage collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and reduce the visible signs of aging.
• Reduces Inflammation & Pain: Scientifically proven to alleviate inflammation and pain, making it ideal for recovery from workouts or managing chronic pain conditions.
• Enhances Overall Well-Being: Supports cellular healing and regeneration through photobiomodulation, helping to boost energy levels and improve overall health.
• Clinically Proven Technology: Backed by research, the REDi Red Light Therapy products offer safe and effective therapy that enhances your wellness routine and accelerates recovery.

What makes red light different from other forms of light is its ability to penetrate deeper into the skin. While blue and ultraviolet light mainly affects the upper layers of skin, red light can be absorbed by cells deep in the body. Red light therapy is also referred to as photobiomodulation therapy because of the change in the body induced by light, including reducing free radicals and oxidative stress.

Red and near-infrared light penetrate tissues, stimulating cytochrome enzymes in mitochondria. This enhances ATP production, reduces inflammation, and improves mitochondrial efficiency. It also promotes a healthy redox balance, increasing net negative charge and reducing protons, which translates to lower inflammation and higher physiological productivity.

Whether you're an elite athlete,weekend warrior, or someone managing chronic pain, REDi Red Light Therapy products can help improve your health and performance.
