MITO LIGHT   ^®

The basic mechanism of the MITO LIGHT® red light therapy devices is that they emit exactly the light spectrum that the chromophores in the mitochondria absorb (mainly Cytochrome c oxidase), which makes the mitochondria active and full of energy. The body responds to light absorption by increasing ATP energy production and enhancing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory processes. In practice, this means that the human body is powerful and full of energy.

Red light has a wavelength of 610-760 nm (nanometers) and can penetrate up to 2.5 cm into skin tissue. Near-infrared light has a slightly longer wavelength of 760-1400 nm and can no longer be detected by the human eye. It can penetrate much deeper into the body – into muscles, bones, organs and the brain, making it very useful. Sunlight has the same mechanism, but the MITO LIGHT® red light therapy devices deliver a concentrated dose of specific wavelengths in the red and near-infrared spectrum and do not emit potentially harmful UV radiation, among other things, making red light therapy different in various ways. Mitochondrial activity is usually limited by nitric oxide, which inhibits cellular respiration by binding to Cytochrome c oxidase and preventing it from using oxygen. Red light causes so-called dissociation or separation of nitric oxide from the Cytochrome, allowing it to resume its energy-producing metabolic
